What's on your quote?

Three numbers off the front page of any solar quote. Everything is worked out in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to send it.

Their quote

Most quotes list these as 550–570W panels. We price on 565W.

How we get to that number

Components at our published shop prices, plus 59% for mounting, DC and AC protection, wiring, labour, commissioning and the Certificate of Compliance. That's the same maths behind our installed kits, so you can check it against the kit prices.

Before you sign anything

Five things a cheap quote usually leaves out

Worth checking on ours too. If a competitor's quote covers all five and still comes in under us, take it — and tell us, because we'd like to know.

1. The Certificate of Compliance

Legally required on any work that touches fixed wiring, and needed when you sell the property. If it isn't named on the quote, assume it's not in the price. Budget R2 000–R3 500 to add it later.

2. DC protection and isolators

Fuses, surge arrestors, DC isolators and correct earthing are the parts nobody sees and the first thing dropped to win a price. They're also what stops a roof fire.

3. Panel count versus kWp

"6kWp" can be 11 panels or 13 depending on wattage. Count the panels, not the headline number — that's where a quote quietly shrinks.

4. Whose name the warranty is in

Manufacturer warranties should be registered to you, not the installer. If the installer closes, you want the claim to still be yours.

5. Who does the municipal paperwork

Grid-tied and hybrid systems need registering with your municipality. Some quotes leave that to you, which is a fortnight of admin you didn't budget for.

And one on us

We are not always the cheapest. On supply-only components a big online reseller usually beats us. Where we win is on the installed job, because the compliance and labour are real costs someone has to carry.

Proper comparison

Send us the actual quote

A person reads it, prices the same scope, and sends back a written comparison — usually within one business day. If theirs is better we'll say so.

  • We price the same scope, not a cheaper version of it
  • Line-by-line, so you can see exactly where the difference sits
  • Any spec gaps flagged — missing CoC, undersized cabling, thin protection
  • No obligation, and we don't chase you afterwards

On your privacy

We use your quote to price the job and nothing else. We don't share it, and the competitor's name never leaves our office. Black out their details first if you'd rather — the numbers and spec are all we need.

Shopify's built-in form can't carry attachments. Send the PDF or a photo to info@pdpstore.co.za with your name in the subject, and complete the rest of this form so we can match them up.

We'll only use this to price your job. No lists, no spam, no calls at dinner.
