Install and inspect

What you do

  • Sit back — we do the heavy lifting.

What to have ready

  • A recent electric bill.

After you submit the form

Nothing is charged and nothing is signed until you decide.

Honest expectations

What solar will not do

It is better to know this before you start.

It does not make your utility bill disappear.

It does not freeze your entire bill.

It does not guarantee profit.
