Solar quote prep checks

  • Separate cash price, financing cost, and incentives before comparing payback.
  • Ask installers how shade, roof age, and panel placement affect production assumptions.
  • Check whether annual savings assumes net metering, time-of-use rates, or battery storage.
  • Keep quote dates and assumptions together because incentives and utility rules can change.
Built for homeowners doing early solar research who need a neutral payback outline before collecting provider-specific quotes.
