TIL my quote for a community solar map might be way off...
A town group wants me to chart best roof spots... I have no clue if my hourly rate is fair for this kind of work.

Just pick a number and add three zeros.

Pricing this stuff is a total nightmare. Solar mapping needs way more work than people realize. You're basically doing a custom site survey for every single roof. Charge for the analysis time, not just the pretty map. Forget your normal hourly rate and bill for the whole project.

Just multiply your normal rate by how many times you've said "solar panel" this week. You'll at least afford a trip to Hawaii after this job.

Feel your pain on the pricing struggle. Casey342 has the right idea just adding zeros, my normal rate is probably too low for that Hawaii trip.
