Why did the profit margin drop on residential installations in the south zone last week?
Yaritza · 09:15
Cross-referencing QuickBooks transactions (week Jun 09–15) with commissions data, I found 3 key factors:
Material cost increase (+8.2%)
SolarTech MX applied price adjustment on 400W panels. Estimated impact: -$14,200 on gross margin.
Re-installation commissions (installer C. Mendez)
2 jobs required extra visits for mounting failure. Extra commissions: +$4,920. Unbudgeted.
Low-ticket project mix
4 of 7 installations were <8kW systems with structural margin 28–31%, below zone average (38.6%).
Recommendation: Renegotiate SolarTech MX contract (expires Q3) and set 10kW minimum per project in South Zone to improve mix.

How much would we recover if we renegotiate with SolarTech?
