"This price is only good today" deadlines, dealer fees buried in the total, and rates dressed up to look better than they are. Not every installer does this — but when someone won't give you time to think, that itself is worth paying attention to. A fair quote is still fair next week.
Quotes lean on optimistic guesses — aggressive utility-inflation rates, best-case production, savings that quietly assume everything goes right. Change one assumption and the whole payback story can fall apart.
This is a $20,000+ decision you live with for decades. A few minutes checking the numbers now is nothing against the cost of being locked into the wrong deal for twenty-five years.
The actual dashboard in action — click through the tabs and watch the numbers move. It works just as well on your phone as on desktop. Run your own quote to unlock the full analysis.
Your analysis opens as a full dashboard. Each tab answers a different question about the deal — in plain language, with numbers you can adjust yourself.
The at-a-glance read: your verdict, the headline numbers, and the flags worth questioning before you sign.
Your first-year bill with and without solar, plus a year-by-year breakdown of grid vs. solar.
When you break even and what it's worth over 25 years — unadjusted and adjusted — plus what you're really paying per kWh.
Every assessment and red flag we surfaced, so you know exactly what to push back on.
The same quote run cautious, expected, and optimistic — so you can see how fragile or solid the deal really is.
The plain-language bottom line, plus the specific questions to ask your installer about this quote.
Behind every rosy solar pitch is a spreadsheet with assumptions dialed in to make the deal look good. We hand you that same spreadsheet. Adjust any assumption yourself and watch the numbers move in real time.
If a deal only works when every dial is set to "best case," that tells you something. Now you can see it for yourself.
System size, total cost, dealer fee, financing type, and your current utility usage. Takes about five minutes.
Estimated payback period, 25-year savings, a price-per-watt check against typical ranges, the things worth questioning, and three risk scenarios.

Analyze my quoteNo. Your quote data is never shared with installers, solar companies, or any third party. We have no financial relationship with anyone in the solar industry.
Because someone always pays — and with the free tools, it isn’t you, so you’re not the customer. Most “free” solar sites are lead-generation businesses: you enter your details, and they sell that lead to installers. Their money comes from putting you into a sale, which gives them no reason to tell you a quote is overpriced.
We do the opposite. The only person paying us is you, so the only thing we’re working for is an honest read on your quote. We don’t take installer referral fees and we don’t sell your information. Forty-nine dollars is what it costs to keep it that way.
Cash, loan, PPA, and lease quotes are all supported. Side-by-side comparison of multiple quotes is coming soon — leave your email on the pricing section and we'll let you know when it's ready.
Yes — most homeowners finish in under five minutes. And any installer who won't give you five minutes to check their numbers is telling you something.
Your written quote: system size in kW, total price, any dealer or financing fees, the loan terms, and a recent utility bill. Everything you need is on the proposal your installer already gave you.
