## Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 10 of the 55 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 45 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 824 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, quartiles and range of advertised installed price per watt and per system size across every Florida installer that publishes one, cut by metro and by system size; the count and share of installers publishing a price at all versus quote-only; the spread between the cheapest and dearest publishing installer in each metro; and the change in each installer's published figure between dated reads. No one publishes the distribution - the aggregators publish one state average, each installer publishes its own band - so the index is the comparison the buyer cannot make.
