Our calculations are based on the 2026 Solar Ops Reality Check—a study of Stage 2 and 3 installer friction.

Admin Tax: Calculated based on the $800/install average Ops coordination waste identified in the 2026 Reality Check.
Electrical Friction: Based on the industry average $3,000 unquoted MPU discovery cost.
Cash Flow Lag: Calculated using the daily interest cost of capital for delayed milestone billing.
