Why This Matters
Accurate pricing is the backbone of profitable proposals. Managing your adder pricing — whether adding new options or cleaning up old ones — keeps your proposals sharp and your margins healthy on every job.
What You'll Need
Admin access to SubcontractorHub
A web browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Why Does This Matter?
Adders let you customize proposals by including additional equipment, services, or project-specific charges such as EV chargers, critter guards, or other optional components. Since available adders are managed by your organization admin, this feature helps ensure proposals stay consistent while allowing you to tailor them to each customer's needs.
What You Will Need
Access to the SubcontractorHub platform.
A proposal with permission to edit.
Adders configured by your organization admin.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Locate the “Add-On” section of the proposal.
Step 2: Click on “Add Adders”.
Step 3: Select the adder you want to add.
Step 4: Click “Done” to add the adder to the proposal.
Step 5: To delete an adder, select the “Delete” option (trash icon) in the “Actions” section.
Note: For all roles except admins, the adder unit price is hidden, with the exception of custom adders. The "Unit Price" column will remain visible, but the value will not be shown for any adders other than custom ones.
Note: When Add-on Systems is enabled under System Details in a proposal, the System Details section continues to display the existing system without the add-on, while the design reflects the updated system with the add-on included.
Note: A Non-Export System option has been added alongside Add-on Systems. When enabled, the production graph updates to show whether excess solar energy is exported back to the grid or retained by the system.
