Compare assumptions, not just monthly payment

Strong quotes explain annual electricity use, system size, production assumptions, module and inverter choices, shade assumptions, utility rates, ownership model, financing costs, and whether storage is included.

Check ownership and transfer details

Cash, loans, leases, and PPAs create different responsibilities. Homeowners should understand maintenance, monitoring, tax-benefit ownership, escalators, buyout terms, and home-sale transfer requirements before signing.

Ask for the site-specific review

Satellite layouts are useful early, but decision-ready proposals need a site review that considers roof condition, shade, attic or electrical access, main panel capacity, HOA rules, permits, and utility interconnection.

Solar quote review

Compare solar options for your property

Share the basics so the next step can focus on roof fit, bill range, storage needs, and current eligibility checks.

“Free solar panels” and $0-down offers are not government giveaways. The real comparison is contract type, eligibility, ownership, utility rules, and total cost over time.
