<div dir="ltr">When I have a call like this, usually they do not have an understanding of the costs. Then a design fee it usually ends there. I have twice done a preliminary design expecting to get a design contract but only wasted my time. One of these potential customers did get a system design from another and did get a system not what the customer asked for but greatly reduced. So a design fee first.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 1:57 PM Ray <<a href="mailto:ray@solarray.com">ray@solarray.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>Oh boy, do I get a bunch of calls for folks wanting to take a
24/7 grow operation off grid. Dana nailed it: Green house. Even
with LED grow lights the numbers are just insane. Every time I
get a call like this now, I immediately ask for a design fee.
They usually are not to be heard from again. If they're not
serious, why should we have to do a serious design for free? <br>
</p>
<p>Plus why would they want to do that off grid, when there are
plenty of legit grow operations on grid for much lower electric
costs? It always struck me as Fishy. On the other hand, grid
tie on the roof of a legit grow operation, that makes much more
sense.<br>
