Pricing Configuration: Price per Watt or Module Tiers
### Scanifly Proposal Tool
* Setup and Global Settings
* Pricing Configuration: Price per Watt or Module Tiers
##### Setup and Global Settings
### Pricing Configuration: Price per Watt or Module Tiers
#### Choose whether your systems price from a single base price per watt or from module pricing tiers in the equipment library.
Pricing Configuration sets how the Proposal Tool prices your panels. It comes down to one toggle: **module base pricing**. Leave it off for a single price per watt across the board, or turn it on to price modules in tiers.
Make this decision before you build your equipment library, because the toggle determines where your module pricing lives.
🚧 **Admin only** 🚧
Pricing Configuration is part of global settings, which requires the **Manage proposals** permission.

##### Module Base Pricing Off: Base Price per Watt Applies
With the module base pricing toggle off, the **base price per watt** you enter applies to every system.
The tool takes the system DC size, calculated from your module wattage, and multiplies it by your rate.
**Worked example.** At 3 dollars per watt, a 10 kW system prices at 30,000 dollars before any adders.
This is the simpler of the two setups, and it is the right starting point if your company quotes a single dollars-per-watt number.

##### Module Base Pricing On: Pricing Moves to Equipment
Turn the module base pricing toggle on and your module pricing no longer comes from the base price per watt. You then go into the equipment section and set your **module tier price settings** there.
Use this when your pricing genuinely varies by module or by system size, rather than sitting at one flat rate.
[Image: Screenshot of the Pricing Configuration panel with the module base pricing toggle on]
📘 **Pro Tip:**
Turn the toggle on and configure your module tiers in equipment in the same sitting, so your pricing is never half configured.
[NEEDS CLARIFICATION: what happens if module base pricing is on but no module tiers are configured? Confirm the behavior before publishing, since an admin will hit this state and needs to know whether pricing falls back to the per-watt rate, prices at zero, or blocks the export.]

##### Either Way, You Can Layer Costs on Top
Whichever base you choose, it is a base. Some companies layer equipment cost or adders on top of it, so the base price per watt or module tier price covers the panels and the rest of the system cost comes from your equipment library and your adders.
There is no single correct pattern here. Decide what your base price is meant to include, then build your equipment and adders to match, so you are not accidentally charging twice for the same thing.

##### Save Your Changes
❗ **IMPORTANT**
Pricing configuration is a preset setting. Your change is not saved until you click **Update Preset**, or choose to discard it or save it as a new preset. Leaving global settings without doing one of those three loses the change.
For more information on Presets: How Settings Are Grouped and Saved, please see this support article: [link placeholder].
---
📘 **Pro Tip:**
After you change pricing configuration, build one test proposal from a real design and check the Base System Cost line on the Executive Summary. It is much faster to catch a pricing setup mistake there than to hear about it from a customer.

## Draft Notes
*Not part of the published article.*
**Screenshot/GIF capture list:**
1. [Image: Screenshot of the Pricing Configuration panel with the module base pricing toggle off and the base price per watt field highlighted]
2. [Image: Screenshot of the Pricing Configuration panel with the module base pricing toggle on]
Captures 1 and 2 are the same panel in two states. Both are needed, because the reader's whole decision is which state to be in.
**Needs clarification:**
- Confirm the exact in-product labels for "module base pricing" and "base price per watt". Both are taken from the walkthrough, which is spoken rather than read off the screen.
- Confirm what happens to existing saved proposals when you switch the module base pricing toggle. Do they reprice, or do they hold the pricing they were generated with? Not covered in any source, and an admin will ask.
- Confirm whether the base price per watt field is still visible and still used for anything when module base pricing is on, or whether it is disabled entirely.
- The worked example of 3 dollars per watt on a 10 kW system is the example given in the walkthrough. It is written here as an illustration, not as a default value. Confirm there is no shipped default rate that should be named instead.
**Suggested cross-references:**
- E1 (Equipment Library and Module Pricing Tiers) is the required companion article and links both ways.
- B9 (Price a Proposal with Equipment and Adders) should link here so a rep can see where the base number comes from.
- D1 links here from step 6.
- E4 (Adders, Incentives, and Import Adders) should link here for the layering point.
