Get Free Solar Quotes
The single best way to save on solar is to compare multiple quotes. Installer prices for the same system vary widely. Here's how to get quotes and compare them like a pro.
First, estimate your system
Know your ballpark before you talk to anyone — it's your negotiating baseline.
Assumes $3.00/W installed and the 30% federal tax credit. Estimates only.
Get at least 3 quotes
Aim for three or more quotes from licensed local installers. More quotes give you leverage and reveal the fair price range in your area.
What to have ready
- A recent electricity bill (or 12 months of usage in kWh).
- Your roof age and rough condition.
- Any shading from trees or buildings.
- Whether you're considering a battery or an EV.
Questions to ask every installer
- What's the total price and the cost per watt?
- What warranties apply — product, performance, workmanship and inverter?
- Which inverter and panels, and why?
- How is net metering handled with my utility?
- Are permitting and interconnection included?
Compare on value, not just price
The cheapest bid isn't always best. Compare cost per watt, equipment quality and warranties together. And confirm the federal tax credityou qualify for, since it changes your net cost.
