Itemized home solar battery installation example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| System compatibility assessment | 1 job | $420.00 | $420.00 |
| Battery unit allowance | 1 each | $5,200.00 | $5,200.00 |
| Mounting and enclosure allowance | 1 job | $650.00 | $650.00 |
| Protection and interface allowance | 1 job | $1,250.00 | $1,250.00 |
| Cable routing labor | 12 hours | $110.00 | $1,320.00 |
| Battery connection labor | 1 job | $980.00 | $980.00 |
| Commissioning and handoff | 1 job | $760.00 | $760.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $10,580.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for cable routing labor is 12 hours × $110.00 = $1,320.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $10,580.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Record inverter model, available space, cable route, mounting surface and load interface. Selection to verify: Separate battery, interface equipment and protective devices from installation.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm compatibility, isolation method and commissioning requirements before ordering.
Outside the stated scope: No new solar panels, roof work or guarantee of bill savings.
Incompatible inverter or inadequate service equipment requires a revised system design. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
