Enter your address and current electric bill and we'll estimate your savings, show you how buying, financing, and leasing stack up, and connect you with up to three vetted local installers who actually compete for your project.
Takes about two minutes. We match you with pre-vetted installers in your area.
No sales calls until you want them. You control the pace.
Address, average bill, roof type, and whether you own or rent. We use this to model sun exposure, usable roof space, and realistic system size.
Get an estimate of system cost, monthly savings, payback period, and how buying compares to financing or leasing for your specific situation.
We send your project to up to three vetted local installers who compete with real quotes. You decide if and when to talk to them.
The right answer depends on your tax situation, how long you'll stay, and your upfront budget. Here's the honest breakdown.
| Option | Upfront cost | Who gets the tax credit | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash purchase | Full system cost | You claim it | Maximum lifetime savings, staying in the home long-term |
| Solar loan | $0–low down payment | You claim it | Owning the benefits without paying cash upfront |
| Lease / PPA | $0 down, fixed or per-kWh rate | Installer keeps it, passes on lower rate | Lower bills now with no ownership responsibilities |
Federal and state programs change, and your installer can confirm exact eligibility — this gives you a starting point.
Available to homeowners who purchase or finance (not lease) their system, claimed on your federal return the year it's installed.
Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, performance payments, or net metering credits that lower your real payback period.
Commercial installations may qualify for accelerated depreciation on top of the federal credit — your installer will walk you through it.
Keep the lights on during outages and use your own solar power at night instead of selling it back cheap. Our sister site EnergyStorage.com specializes in matching homeowners with vetted battery installers — often the same crews already quoting your solar.
