This article is in the Control section of the App.  

Navigate to Pricing Schemes on the left sidebar underneath Sales & Marketing to be taken to your current list of pricing schemes.

In order to create a new pricing scheme, click on the  button.

1. Enter a Title for your pricing scheme
2. Choose which formula you would like to use from the drop-down menu
3. Choose whether you would like to Auto-Apply your Pricing Scheme

If you are not sure about what Auto-Apply does, find out by reading our article: What is Auto-Apply?

Depending on which formula you have chosen to use, you will be presented with various inputs to fill out. 

Choose a scheme from the list below to see how to fill out each. 

Note: if you are simply updating a Pricing Scheme, then click on the  button next to the scheme you wish to update. 

 Find out how each of the pricing schemes are calculated in detail in How Are Pricing Schemes Calculated?

The different Pricing Schemes:

1. Price per Watt

2. Markup Percentage

3. Price per Watt by Size

4. Fixed Price

Price per Watt

This formula allows you to create a pricing scheme which will calculate the price based on how many watts of solar panels and how many kilowatt hours of battery you have installed.

The price per watt/kWh that you enter in should be INCLUSIVE of tax. 

Then enter in the amount of tax in % which is included in the price. 

Once you have finished filling out these inputs, ensure that you press the  button. 

Markup Percentage

This option gives you the ability to set up a Markup Percentage pricing by entering in the markup by which you would price your systems, based on the costs involved in installation.

The final price for this scheme is determined by the total costing for your system.

This total costing is calculated based on the COGS price per unit for your equipment (please see the Section on creating equipment for information on this) and the costs build-up found in the Project Configuration section of Control, (please see How to Set-up Your Advanced Project Costs for customising the costs build-up for Markup Pricing).

These costs will be summed and then the markup applied. 

Tax will apply after markup. 

Fill out these inputs and press the  button. 

Price Per Watt by Size

By choosing this option, you have the ability to create a range of different prices depending on the size of the system in kilowatts or the size of the battery in kilowatt hours.

You will see a number of different boxes where you can put in dollars per watt for different ranges of system size (0-1kW, etc).

Enter in these prices INCLUSIVE of tax.  

Note: You do not need to fill in all of these boxes. For both systems and batteries, blank pricing tiers will automatically use the closest pricing tier which has been set. Where the higher and lower pricing tiers are the same distance apart, use the lower price will be used.

Then enter in the amount of tax in % which is included in the prices. 

Ensure that you save your pricing option by pressing the  button.

Fixed Price

This pricing option allows you to create a fixed price scheme which may be useful if you have set packages that you wish to price manually.

Enter in this price INCLUSIVE of tax.  

Then enter in the amount of tax in % which is included in the price. 

Ensure you press the  button when you are done.
