Cost (70% of revenue) However, high fixed operating costs, primarily salaries totaling $205,000 in Year 1, result in a negative EBITDA of $-\\$109,000 Breakeven is projected for November 2027 (23 months) To accelerate profitability, founders must rapidly scale the business by improving the initial 15% visitor-to-buyer conversion rate and increasing the average order value (AOV) through a shift toward higher-priced models like the Commercial SunSync (priced at $13999 in 2026)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
