Solar project cycle time by stage

Paste finished projects with their milestone dates. Get days per stage, the share spent with third parties, and what held the install start.

A check on your own records. The loaded example is invented: 8 projects with dates chosen for this page, not an industry benchmark. Days are calendar days.
