Get clear answers on pricing, savings, equipment, warranties, and whether solar actually makes sense for your home.
Want the reasoning before you talk to anyone? I’ve written down the answers to the questions I get on almost every visit — start with the guides.
No "solutions consultant" stopping by Tuesday night. No follow-up army. Just clear answers and an honest recommendation.
Free site visit. We look at your roof and electrical panel, talk through your energy usage and goals, and figure out whether solar is a good fit for your home.
We review quotes from trusted local installers — system size, equipment, true installed cost, and realistic savings over time.
We handle the permits, inspections, installation, and PG&E paperwork so you don't have to.

Get at least two quotes for the same system size and equipment, then compare the true installed cost per watt. A lower number often means smaller panels or a skipped upgrade. See what Oakland solar costs.
Find out who handles permits and the PG&E application, and who you call when something needs service. Also check whether the quote is a purchase, loan, or lease — the gap is bigger than it looks.
