The uncomfortable truth
Solar does not make sense in every case. A low bill, a roof without usable space or with few years left, or heavy shade can make it not worth it. We would rather tell you that than sell you a system that underperforms.
What we check
What we look at in your home
01
Your 12 bills
The system is sized from your real usage, month by month, not a neighborhood average. We design at ~110% so there is surplus, not shortfall.
02
Your roof
Age, material, orientation and shade. If the roof has few years left, the roof comes first.
03
Your utility
FPL, Duke and TECO credit 1 to 1 with net metering. Municipal utilities and co-ops have their own rules that change the math.
04
How you pay
Cash, loan, lease/PPA or a 3-5 year subscription. Each changes who owns the system, who gets the tax credit and what happens when you sell.
When it makes sense
- High, steady electric bill
- Roof with space, good orientation and years of life left
- FPL, Duke or TECO service with 1-to-1 net metering
- You want a predictable bill that stops rising every year
When it doesn’t
- Low bill: the economics don’t work
- Heavy shade or a roof due for replacement
- You plan to sell very soon and don’t want to transfer a contract
- Municipal utility without 1-to-1 net metering
How we solve it
From diagnosis to result
Diagnosis
We look at your home’s real numbers and tell you if it makes sense. You get it in writing.
Compared proposal
If it does, we show you the real market options for your case: installer, equipment and payment method.
Installation by a verified partner
Installers with a track record, not the ones that disappear. We stay with you through permission to operate.
Minimum Bill Guarantee
If the system produces less than promised in any month, we pay the difference. For the life of the system.
Ways to get solar
Same system, four very different contracts
How you pay matters more than the monthly payment: it changes who owns the system, who gets the tax credit and what happens when you sell the house. We compare them before you sign.
| Ways to get solar | Cash | Loan | Lease / PPA | Subscription 3-5 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the system? | You | You | Third party | Third party |
| Term | None | 10-25 years | 20-25 years | 3 or 5 years, renewable |
| Annual escalator | N/A | No (fixed payment) | Typically 1-3% | None, fixed for the whole term |
| Credit check? | No | Yes | Yes | No (no active bankruptcy, mortgage current) |
| Tax credit in 2026 | Nobody (25D ended) | Nobody (25D ended) | Third party (48E) | Third party (48E) |
| When you sell | Sells with the house | Pay off the balance or buyer assumes | Buyer assumes (with credit) or you buy the system | Transfers with no fee; if declined, cancels with no fees |
Lease/PPA terms per SolarReviews and escalators per Solar.com; subscription per our partner’s contract. Tax credit: confirm with your tax preparer.
