[Setup and Global Settings](https://help.scanifly.com/scanifly-proposal-tool?hsLang=en#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. This guide explains how the module base pricing toggle changes where your module pricing lives. 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. For more information on Proposal Tool Permissions, please see this support article: [Proposal Tool Permissions: Who Can Do What](https://help.scanifly.com/proposal-tool-permissions-who-can-do-what?hsLang=en). --- ### 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/watt, a 10 kW system prices at $30,000 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. ![](https://help.scanifly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-06-2026-04-15-54-6314-PM.png?width=792&height=261&name=image-png-Aug-06-2026-04-15-54-6314-PM.png) --- ### 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. 📘 **Pro Tip:** Turn the toggle on and configure your module tiers in equipment in the same sitting, so your pricing is never half configured. For more information on equipment and module pricing, please see this support article: [Equipment Library and Module Pricing Tiers](https://help.scanifly.com/equipment-library-and-module-pricing-tiers?hsLang=en). --- ### 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. The base price per watt or module tier price covers the panels; 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. For more information on adders, please see this support article: [Variables: Adders, Incentives, and Import Adders](https://help.scanifly.com/variables-adders-incentives-and-import-adders?hsLang=en). --- ### 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, please see this support article: [Presets: How Settings Are Grouped and Saved](https://help.scanifly.com/presets-how-settings-are-grouped-and-saved?hsLang=en). --- 📘 **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. --- For more information on Equipment Library and Module Pricing Tiers, please see this support article: [Equipment Library and Module Pricing Tiers](https://help.scanifly.com/equipment-library-and-module-pricing-tiers?hsLang=en).
