Don’t get sold solar.
Work out whether you want it.
Your power bill is a subscription you never agreed to. Put in an address and we’ll run the actual math on that roof — and tell you straight if it doesn’t work.
- We don’t install solar, so we don’t care what you decide.
- You see the whole analysis before anyone asks for a number.
- One installer, named, only if you say yes. Never resold.
Good roof. Ugly power bill.
This is the whole output: what the utility is taking, what a system on this roof would produce, what stays in your pocket, and the year it pays for itself. No form to fill out to see it.
Your utility is doing pretty well on this arrangement. That’s the number worth arguing with.
You get the answer before we ask for your number.
Every other solar site works the opposite way. The numbers are the bait; your contact details are the product. You hand over a phone number to find out something you could have been told up front.
Here the analysis runs first and lands on screen. If it says solar makes sense, you can decide what to do about it. If it says it doesn’t, you close the tab and you’ve lost a minute.
How we make money →One installer, not twelve.
Here’s the part solar ads usually skip. Most quote forms are sold to four or five contractors at once, which is why one submission turns into three weeks of unknown numbers calling you at dinner.
We match you with a single vetted local installer, shown to you by name, and nothing leaves this site until you say yes. We never blast or resell your information to a network of solar companies. If you never approve anyone, nobody ever gets your details.
Not every roof needs solar. Yours might.
A salesperson can’t tell you this, because telling you costs them the sale. We tell plenty of people to keep their money.
Your bill is under about $100 a month. There isn't enough being spent to win back. Payback runs past a decade in most markets. Keep your roof intact.
Big trees over the roof. Shade across the middle of the day can take a third of the production with it. We look at the imagery before anyone gets excited.
The roof is past twenty years old. Panels outlive shingles. Re-roof first, or pay somebody to pull the array off and put it back.
You rent. You can't bolt hardware to a roof that isn't yours. Community solar in your utility area is the version of this that works for you.
Your utility already printed the good stuff on page two.
An address gets you a solid estimate. A photo of one recent bill gets you arithmetic: your real rate per kilowatt-hour and twelve months of your real usage, instead of a band we inferred from the size of your house.
It’s optional, it happens after you’ve seen your results, and it isn’t a second form. It only makes the analysis sharper.
What we read off it, and how long the file is kept: privacy policy.
Six inputs, no vibes.
- 01
Your roof. Usable area, pitch and which way it faces, from satellite imagery of your address.
- 02
Your usage. Kilowatt-hours you actually burn in a year — estimated from the house, exact from a bill.
- 03
Your utility. Who bills you, and what their current rate and net-metering rules are.
- 04
The rate math. What that rate does to 25 years of bills, which is the number solar is competing with.
- 05
Production. Local sun hours and real-world losses — inverter, wiring, heat, dirt, shade.
- 06
Incentives. State, local and utility programs that apply at your address. No federal homeowner credit — that ended after 2025.
The questions people ask before they trust a solar website.
- What does this cost me?
- Nothing. If you later choose to talk to one of our vetted installers, we may be paid for that introduction. That is the whole business model, and it is written out in plain English on our how-we-make-money page.
- Am I going to get spam calls?
- Not from us. We ask for a phone number only if you decide you want an installer to contact you, and we send it to exactly one company that you see by name and approve first. We never blast or resell your details to a network of solar companies.
- Isn't there a 30% federal tax credit?
- There was. The federal residential clean energy credit for homeowners (IRC 25D) ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025, so we no longer model it for a homeowner who buys a system. State, local and utility incentives still exist in many places and vary a lot, so we check what applies to your address. Third-party-owned arrangements like leases and PPAs are taxed differently and any benefit there belongs to the owner of the system, not to you.
- How accurate is an estimate from an address?
- Close enough to tell you whether solar is worth pursuing, not close enough to sign. We model roof area and orientation, local sun hours, your utility's rate and your usage. Upload a bill and the usage and rate stop being estimates. Any real price still comes from an installer who has been on your roof.
- Do you sell solar?
- No. We don't install anything, we don't own panels, and nobody here earns more when a system gets bigger. We're on the other side of the table from the sales pitch.
- What if the answer is no?
- Then you get a page telling you no, and why. Low bill, heavy shade, an old roof, a rental — those are common and we say so instead of matching you with anyone.
