See example outcomes for moderate, high, and fast-rising electricity cost households.
Track federal credit basics, state incentives, utility rebates, and documents to ask installers for.
Know what to ask about panels, inverters, batteries, warranties, workmanship, and financing.
Review roof age, shade, ownership plans, and insurance questions before getting proposals.

Savings examples call out the inputs that can change your result: rates, shade, incentives, and financing.
03
Use the checklist to ask installers for comparable system sizes, warranties, production estimates, and costs.
