Pricing

Solar label kit pricing

Per plate: a charge for each plate, plus a rate on the area it is engraved on. So the kit price follows the job rather than a package tier, a conduit marker costs a fraction of a diagram plate, and taking a plate off takes its price off with it. No setup fee, no account, no minimum order — one disconnect tag is a real order and it still gets cut.

Build your kit on this site and the price is on the last screen, in full, with HST, before you send anything.

Seven jobs, seven kits

01 — Worked kits

Straight out of the kit generator the quote builder runs on. Ontario plate list — the plates, and with them the area and the price, shift by province.

Four sizes cover most of the job

02 — Plate sizes

The common sizes, drawn to scale against each other so you can compare them. Area is most of what moves a plate's price: a 4″ × 1″ equipment tag has about a twenty-third of the area of an 11″ × 8.5″ diagram plate, and the diagram plates are cut that size because of how much has to fit on them.

Two tiers on every kit

03 — What you can leave out

Same compliance either way. The difference is whether you take the reductions the rule text itself allows.

Tier one

Standard — the full set

Every placement the code and the utility standard call for. This is what you send when someone else’s inspector is going to look at it.

Tier two

Minimum — only what the code permits

The same kit with the reductions the rule text itself allows, each with a citation behind it. Nothing an inspector can fail you for comes out. Two mechanisms:

  1. Consolidation the rule allows. On a microinverter job, ESA Bulletin 64-5-4 A11/A12 lets the system ratings go on the 84-030(2) single-line plate instead of a separate plate — that alone removes one of the biggest plates in the kit.
  2. Collapsing meter-and-service-equipment pairs where the meter and the service equipment are genuinely one location.

Where the two tiers differ on an Ontario job it is a handful of plates, not half the kit. Same compliance, no corners.

The floor is real

A grid-tied kit does not get much below the seven-plate service set. Most of what is left after that is the two diagram plates — the single-line and the first-responder placard. They are big because of how much has to fit on them.

Getting below that means a stock kit rather than a made-to-order one: no layout or proofing per job, and several kits cut from one sheet so the setup is shared. That is a pricing decision, not a code one — ask if it would help.

What the quote includes

Every label, with the rule behind it, the province it is for and where on the job it goes. A nested cut sheet. And a list of every blank we still need from you before anything is cut — ratings, locations, equipment IDs — flagging anything only your local utility or your inspector can confirm.
