No. We're a local connection service that matches homeowners with licensed, insured solar contractors in the Phoenix and Peoria area. We simplify your search by connecting you with vetted professionals who have proven track records.
No. Our service is free for homeowners. You only pay the solar installer directly if you decide to hire them for work. There are no hidden fees or markups from us.
Most Phoenix and Peoria homeowners save 60-90% on their electric bills. With 300+ days of sunshine and federal tax credits covering 30% of installation costs, typical ROI is 5-8 years. After that, it's pure savings for the 25+ year lifespan of the panels.
Residential solar systems typically range from $12,000-$40,000 before incentives, depending on system size. The 30% federal tax credit brings costs down significantly. Most installers offer financing with $0 down and competitive rates.
From contract signing to final activation: 6-10 weeks on average. The actual installation is only 1-3 days—the rest is permitting, utility approvals, and inspections. Your installer handles all of that.
No. When installed properly by licensed professionals, solar panels actually protect your roof from UV damage and weather. Installers use weatherproof flashing and sealants at every mounting point. Panels can be removed cleanly if needed for roof repairs.
If you own your solar system (cash or loan purchase), it transfers with the home sale and increases property value. If you leased the system, the new homeowner can assume the lease. Either way, homes with solar sell faster and for more money.
No. Battery storage can work with or without solar panels. Batteries charge from the grid during off-peak hours and provide backup during outages or peak rate times. However, combining solar + battery provides maximum savings and energy independence.
It depends on battery capacity and what you're powering. A single Tesla Powerwall (13.5 kWh) can power essential loads (AC, fridge, lights) for 8-12+ hours. With solar panels, the battery recharges during the day, extending backup indefinitely.
Most homeowners hear back within a few hours. Our partners understand that you're ready to explore solar, and they prioritize new inquiries to get you scheduled for a consultation quickly.
