Key Assumptions
Target Market
USA (Initial) - 9.5 Million.
​
Package
The SOMA generator would be delivered and installed by installation personnel.
​
Product Development
3 to 4 people, with approximately 1 year for a prototype. The headcount number is dependent on if we would be able to find someone with the multiple needed specific specialties, otherwise we would need an additional fourth person.
​
Sales
Difficult to say, as this number requires information on how much time it would take to bring the prototype to a fully realized product.
​
Personnel
TBD, waiting on key information from inventor.
​
Financing
TBD, waiting on key information from inventor.​

Competitor Pricing​
Channel Summary
Freedom Solar Panel offers a free quote because it is custom on factors like specific energy needs, but they also give an average. Around $30,000 is what it costs for the installation of a 9KW system and this excludes tax credits and rebates. This cost covers the parts for the actual solar panels, installation costs and labor, as well as HOA fees, permits, inspections, and so on.
They also offer financing the system with terms like $0 down and 2.99% interest if necessary. They did not say if one could utilize both 2.99% and $0 down at the same time, but it would be in our best interest to assume that they have made this feasible for themselves. On their how much does solar cost page, they also add what helps you save money by using solar and different major cities in Texas with specific laws that would benefit solar panels owners such as specific rebates and tax credits. For example, in Austin, you can get a $2,500 rebate after installation and you become eligible for $0.097 paid TO YOU per kWh.
Go Sun Pro really just touched on the savings part, claiming to receive up to a 26% tax credit of the cost of installation according to the Federal Solar Tax Credit. Other than going over this and other reasons as to how solar saves you money, there is no pricing offered, only requests for quotes.
Our competitors utilize value pricing by mentioning the benefits, how to save on costs, and how it will not only pay off eventually but will also add value to the home. The reliability and long term cost-savings are highlighted a lot to further the value add point.
