Tip: panels on the roof ≠ system on. Ask for the realistic permit-to-power-on timeline in writing.

Batteries make sense for backup power or stingy export rates. If your utility credits exports fairly, the grid already works like a battery — for free.

A 25% dealer fee turns a $24k system into a $30k loan — before interest. Low APRs aren't free; the fee pays for them. Ask the cash price.

If a quote shows a monthly payment but not a total price, that's not convenience — it's concealment. Demand the number.

The real case for solar: utility rates drift up, your system's cost is locked. Honest math works — no inflated assumptions required.

How long did you research solar before signing — a weekend, months, or a year of open tabs?

A = fair price, good gear, strong warranties, honest production. C = one pillar has a real problem. The report names it.

Panels lose a little output every year — quality ones still make ~85-90% at year 25. If a savings projection ignores degradation, it's inflated.

'Tier 1 panels' is a financing term, not a quality grade. A real quote names make, model, and wattage. No model numbers = red flag.

Tip: save every quote revision and contract version. If the install differs from the pitch, paper wins arguments.

Hardware is under half of most solar quotes. A big slice is customer acquisition — the door-knockers and commissions are in your price.

No referral fees. No sponsored installers. No 'preferred partners.' Grades only stay honest when no one's paying for them.

The company selling your system often isn't the one installing it. Ask: who pulls the permit, who's on the roof, who services the warranty?

Tip: ask if the install crew is in-house or subbed out — and who answers if the roof leaks in year 3.

$0 down moves the cost into your payments — often plus fees. Compare total-of-payments to the cash price to see what convenience costs.
