6. Well, actually, now we're talking
Vertical or horizontal?

And lowballing seems to have played less in the previous quote than an increase in demand. They manufacturer we spoke with earlier very pointedly (and not a little smugly) said it's what his traffic would bear. It's difficult to know who's telling the truth at this point, since almost no one will either quote you straight out from a bill of material, like you'd buy any other kind of equipment or start any other project. I've run into an awful lot of disagreeable, disreputable sorts who are glad to send people crawling all over your property or to up-sell you a bunch of shyte. I'm not interested in that.

I don't mind paying a fair price for a good product. I'm not looking to solve my problem at once. I'm looking at a 10-year, ease myself from the grid, start with some backup plan because I live in a rural area where power during the winter is dirty-to-gone a lot of the time. I don't want to incur a huge debt; NC doesn't have great incentives, nor is our co-op very cooperative. There are plenty of incentives for municipalities and businesses. In NC, there are none for consumers. I may be able to qualify, though, when I can get my farm incorporated which will be another 3 to 5 years.

Regardless, I have to lay my plans and understand my budget and options now. My partner and I have been researching for the past 3 years and it seems murkier than ever and it is very frustrating.
