Wire Management Cost Estimation Tool PROPER TOOL USAGE: The results from this analysis are for informational purposes only and do not represent a guarantee or proof of the actual costs or performance associated with a specific wire management device. Even though TECSI Solar Inc. made every effort to accurately represent the factors and relationships that affect the lifetime system costs of a wire management device, its actual performance in its installed environment is unknown and can vary widely from the conclusions set forth by this tool. In addition, the tool does not take into account cost increases over time due to inflation. Asset managers and system designers can use this tool as a framework for what to consider when creating their own estimation of lifetime O&M costs.
