How it works

From your address to a real solar quote — in minutes.

No site visits. No spam calls. No commitment. Just an honest estimate based on your roof and your energy usage — before anyone contacts you.

01

Enter your address

Our AI reads your roof in seconds using satellite imagery and local sun data — no site visit, no phone call.

02

Review your estimate

See projected annual savings, system size, payback period, and cost range — all specific to your home.

03

Choose your installer

We match you with up to 3 vetted local installers. You decide who to hear from. You can opt out anytime.

Step 01

Your address is the starting point

The moment you enter your address, our system pulls satellite imagery of your roof, cross-references local sun data, and factors in your utility rates. You get a real estimate in under 60 seconds — without a salesperson ever getting involved.

Step 02

Your estimate — before anyone calls you

Most solar companies make you schedule a site visit or take 3 calls just to get a ballpark number. We show you an honest savings estimate the moment you submit your address — no waiting, no gatekeeping.

Estimates show a range (not a single number) because roof variables differ. The actual quote from an installer will be more precise — but our estimate is based on real data and is typically within 15%.

Common questions

Questions about the process

Is the estimate free?+

Yes — fully free, no account required. You can see your full savings estimate, system size, and cost breakdown without providing any contact information.

How accurate is the estimate?+

Our estimates are based on real satellite data, local utility rates, and sun exposure for your ZIP code. They're typically within 10–15% of a final installer quote. We show ranges rather than single numbers to reflect real variability in roof conditions.

What happens after I see my estimate?+

Nothing automatically. You choose whether to proceed. If you want quotes from installers, you complete a short contact form and approve which installers can reach out. We never contact you or share your information without your explicit action.

Why only 3 installers?+

Most lead generation services sell your information to 10–20 companies. We cap contacts at 3 — vetted installers who actually serve your area — so you get real quotes without the spam.

Can I opt out after approving installers?+

Yes. If you change your mind at any point, contact us and we'll remove your information. Installers in our network are required to honor opt-out requests immediately.
