Having got a quote for a solar system I was asked for a $2,500.00 deposit.

It makes me nervous that they have a considerable sum of money and I have nothing but a promise.

What do people think is a reasonable thing?

It is for a compete 1Kw system the person has come and given us a quote and suggested they need the deposit now and that the system will come in another 2-3 months.

If you dont have a signed contract and the suppliers full business details on the document signed by an authorised individual, dont pay any money or you will just end up another victim.
The subcontracters in the building industry learnt their lesson many years ago and there is not many of them still operating.
