The fact of the matter is: you are comparing apples to oranges.

I guarantee you the cost the competitors are quoting you is not installed cost.....ON ANOTHER CONTINENT, and DOES NOT include commissioning, on-site monitoring and a SERVICE AGREEMENT. I am an engineer, and have worked with companies who supply on-site commisioning services and service agreements, AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP....often increasing the price of the system by up to 50%, depending on the comlexity of the service agreement (most service agreements assume the buyer will be taking control of the entire system after 3-6 months.....however, since this a sale to a govt agency, the service agreement is likely 100% maintained by ZBB, increasing the cost dramatically....notice the word "annual service agreement)


Until you get quotes from these competitors for a comparable system, with a comparable shipping distance, with a comparable service agreement, the numbers are NOT comparable.

I thought that was the point of your post.....to compare ZBBs prices with competing companies and technologies.....was it not? And by comparing apples to oranges, you failed in doing so.

So.....why did you just create the new ID last week?
