The line readings, priced apart by frame
| Repair line | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Cracked panel and glass | $120-$550 cracked panel | $20-$450 broken or cracked glass |
| Wiring | $100-$400 loose or chewed wiring | $100-$400 loose or chewed wiring |
| Corrosion | $150-$350 rust and corrosion | $20-$350 corrosion or rust |
| Inverter | $150-$3,000 replacement table row | $1,500-$3,000 replacement line |
Each reading is one frame's counting of one repair line inside one visit, and per-line rows are never blended into a cleaning or removal row.
The line rows, priced apart
| Repair line row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Broken panel replacement | $200-$550 replacement row | in glass rows |
| Fuse | $100-$150 fuse row | in fee rows |
| Microinverter | $150-$350 microinverter row | in inverter rows |
| Obstruction and branch removal | in panel rows | $75-$850 removal line |
| Battery | $300-$15,000 replacement row | in inverter rows |
Frame A prints its repair-type rows; Frame B prints its reported lines beside it, and a row with no line in one frame stands as in that frame, never filled from the other.
The visit lines, priced apart

The visit lines count a line reading inside the repair visit alone: a wash visit is the cleaning cluster's own field, named apart. The frames count the same inverter job differently -- an Angi string-inverter span at $150-$3,000 against a HomeGuide replacement line at $1,500-$3,000 -- and the same cracked glass at $120-$550 against $20-$450. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page here, never averaged.
The totals behind the rows, and the neighbours named apart
Behind the rows: Frame A broken panel replacement at $200-$550 and Frame B inverter replacement at $1,500-$3,000 standing apart. The repair ticket against the replacement ticket prices apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: solar panel cleaning, a wash visit and never a repair; removal-and-reinstall and detach-and-reset, roof-work removal tickets and never repair rows; solar installation, a purchase; and whole-system replacement, read on the repair-vs-replacement guide under each frame separately.

What do the wiring rows print at, as reported?
Both frames print loose or chewed wiring at $100 to $400, each in its own counting -- Frame A as a repair-type row and Frame B as a reported line, the readings standing apart by frame even where the band reads the same.
What does the inverter line print at, as reported?
Frame A prints microinverter replacement at $150 to $350 and its solar inverter replacement table row at $150 to $3,000. Frame B prints its inverter replacement line at $1,500 to $3,000, the readings standing apart by frame.
What does the visit floor print at behind the rows, as reported?
Frame B prints a minimum job fee at $100 to $250 beside its lines. Frame A prints its fuse row at $100 to $150 in place of a fee line, the floor readings standing apart by frame.
Is a repair line the same purchase as a cleaning visit or a whole-system replacement?
No. Each row prices one repair line in one repair visit, priced by repair line, off a $200 to $550 broken panel row in Frame A and a $20 to $450 glass row in Frame B. Cleaning, removal-and-reinstall, detach-and-reset, solar installation, and whole-system replacement sit in their own lanes, named apart.
