Performance Services 10. Solar Technology and Pricing Performance Services carries multiple long-term volume supply contracts with the industry leading solar component manufacturers. We regularly talk with our manufacturers and vendors to understand current availability and new/upcoming products. With panel prices being volatile, we closely monitor pricing from multiple manufacturers to ensure that we can get the best possible prices at any point in time. To obtain the best pricing with highest quality standards available for our customers, Performance Services competitively bids material and labor categories and presents all associated project costs to the Owner in an "Open Book Pricing" format. We believe competitively bidding all parts and labor ensures proper installation costs through checks and balances. When we ask for a bid from a sub -contractor, we provide full visibility of their response. There are no mark-ups and all equipment and materials are purchased centrally with original costs made available to the customer, at your request. Customers can see exactly what is being purchased and spent, where it is spent and how much is being allocated —without additional mark-up to each sub -contractor or equipment. In addition, unlike all other ESCOs that we are aware of, a key strength of PSIS is that we perform all engineering and project management in-house. This approach is preferable as it is less expensive to our customers than outsourcing, and it also provides us with control over how the project is designed and executed. This provides our customers with high -quality design standards to maximize overall system production. This control is important as it allows us to deliver on our guarantees and meet the needs of our customers. Performance Services will follow this same pricing process for any future work, including competitively bidding all labor/material and using in-house engineers/project managers for design and implementation. Performance Services designs with the highest quality modules available on the market. Our team has solar panel manufacturing experience which gives us an inside edge and understanding of the manufacturing process. Our selected module suppliers manufacture using multiple thermal imaging tests from the cell level through production and final product testing. These tests are not required by technical reporting agencies but performed to provide maximum performance over the life of the panels. These manufacturers and their quality panels slightly increase upfront costs, but the return for our customers through long term production vastly exceeds the costs.
