No installer ranking

The guide does not push a preferred company, panel brand, lender, or battery bundle.

Plain assumptions

Savings examples call out the inputs that can change your result: rates, shade, incentives, and financing.

Better questions

Use the checklist to ask installers for comparable system sizes, warranties, production estimates, and costs.
