Frequently asked questions

I already got a quote. Is it too late?

Not at all. Use this checklist to evaluate the quote you have. Many homeowners save thousands by renegotiating after asking the right questions — even after a verbal agreement.

Does this cover battery storage too?

Yes, there is a dedicated section on whether battery storage makes sense for your situation and what to ask about battery warranties and degradation guarantees.

Is this specific to my state?

The 12 questions apply nationwide. For state-specific incentives and net metering policies, check out our State Solar Incentive Guide 2026.

What if I'm already under contract?

The guide includes a section on contract review and cancellation rights. Many solar contracts have a 3-day right of rescission — the checklist tells you what to look for.
