The Megawatt Solar Panel Company installs solar panels on home rooftops. The base installation charge of $2,000 includes two panels. The charge for each additional panel is $300. The normal waiting time for installation is two weeks, but customers can pay an express charge of 5% of the total cost to reduce this time. Create an application that collects the required information from the user and calculates the charges for the installation.

 

The user enters a first name, the number of panels, the amount of the deposit, and if they want expedited installation.

 

Use separate procedures or functions for the following:

  • An introduction to the program. Use the first name somewhere in this introduction.
  • Validation of the number of panels
  • Validation of the amount of the deposit
  • Choose expedited installation
  • Calculation of the total cost
  • Calculation of the balance due
  • Print the results
    NOTE: if the deposit is less than the total due, indicate a balance due.  If not, indicate a refund.

 

Error checking should include the following criteria:

  • the name cannot be blank
  • the number of panels must be an integer between 1 and 1,000 (include 1000 as a valid number)
  • the deposit amount must be a numeric value greater than or equal to 0

 

 Other requirements:
