🛠 SunService Labor Guide™
A standardized, flat-rate labor guide built for solar — what Mitchell and ALLDATA are to automotive service, written for inverters, batteries and racking instead of engines.
Fair to homeowners. Honest for you. Measured on every job.
A real labor standard does two things at once — it earns homeowner trust and it protects your margin.
Fair homeowner pricing
Flat-rate book hours mean the same job costs the same fair price — no sticker shock, no "depends who shows up." Transparent pricing is how you earn trust and referrals.
No more tech guessing
Stop pricing off gut feel. Your newest rep quotes with the same accuracy as your most senior tech — every estimate grounded in the standard, not a hunch.
GPS-tracked true repair time
The clock starts when the tech reaches the site and stops the moment they leave. You capture the real on-site repair time — automatically, GPS-stamped, never padded or guessed.
Calibrated when you decide
Every completed job feeds an average per operation code, shown beside the book hours with its sample count. Publishing one is a deliberate act by an admin, not something that happens behind you — and an adopted average is displayed for judgement, never wired into the price. Your quoted hours change when you decide they change.
Protect margin, pay techs fairly
Accurate times mean you stop under-charging on hard jobs and over-charging on easy ones — and flat-rate / piece pay rewards efficient techs honestly.
Win more customers
Do the right thing and it compounds: fair, consistent, transparent pricing builds the reputation that wins the next job — and the one after that.
Arrive → Work → Calibrate
True repair times, captured automatically, make the guide smarter without anyone filling out a timesheet.
📍 Arrive
The tech starts the job on-site and the clock auto-starts, GPS-stamped at the repair location.
🔧 Work
On-site time counts as true repair time. Leave the site and the clock stops — so you measure the job, not the drive or the lunch.
🔄 Calibrate
Real times are compared to book hours. Adopt the field average and it publishes into your SunService Labor Guide™ — the standard evolves.
Building the industry's premier labor standard — by doing right
There has never been a true flat-rate labor guide for solar service. The SunService Labor Guide™ starts from 154 standard operations, SunService estimates that we are now checking against manufacturer documentation, one by one. Your team’s timed jobs are shown beside the book hours, and your admin decides when a field average becomes your standard. Fair to homeowners, honest for contractors.
Price every job fairly — and win more of them
