Reference & details

How it works

Grid connection quote builder

Build a connection budget from actual quantities, unit prices and quoted fixed fees. Apply contingency only to marked lines and retain taxes and owner credits explicitly; project MW and distance do not invent a price.

Line cost = quantity × unit price, rounded to cents; total = all lines + contingency on eligible lines + entered taxes − owner credits.

Compare complete connection quotes

Compare actual connection alternatives with line, utility, equipment, civil, other, tax and owner-credit amounts supplied separately. Rank total cash outlay only after aligning the quote scope and exclusions.

Net quote = line + utility/studies + equipment + civil + other + tax − owner credits.
