Planning estimates, not quotes

All calculators, cost ranges, and payback figures on this site are planning estimates based on the assumptions shown on each page. They are not quotes, not binding prices, and not promises that a system will cost a stated amount, save a stated amount, or pay back in a stated time.

Only a licensed installer who has seen your home, panel, roof, utility rules, and usage can give you a site-specific quote. Get that quote before buying.

Not tax, legal, financial, or installation advice

Nothing on this site is tax advice, legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, or electrical / installation advice.

In particular:

• The statement that $0 federal credit applies to a homeowner-owned battery installed in 2026 reflects the research position that the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (§25D) does not apply to homeowner expenditures made after 31 December 2025. Tax treatment for a specific home, a 2025 carryforward question, or a lease / PPA under §48E depends on your own circumstances and the contract — speak to a qualified tax professional.

• Do not attempt panel, wiring, or battery installation work from this site. Battery and panel work must be done by a licensed professional under your local codes and your utility's rules.

Programme figures change

State, utility, and federal programme rates, rebates, eligibility rules, and deadlines change without a national announcement. Every programme figure on this site carries a check date and a source link. A figure without a recent check date must not be relied on. Re-check the official programme page for your exact state, utility, and address before acting.

No guaranteed savings, discounts, or payback

This site does not guarantee any saving, discount, rebate, or payback period — and it does not guarantee that using an affiliate or quote link will give you a discount or a lower price. Where a programme offers a possible discount or payment, the page says so only in the programme's own terms, with the conditions attached. Free quote requests are free to request; they are not a promise of a lower installed price.

Product and brand mentions

Brand and product names (for example, in comparison pages) are used only to identify products for comparison. Mention does not mean endorsement, and no manufacturer has approved this site's calculator results unless a page says so explicitly, with evidence.

Liability in plain language

You use the calculators and guides at your own judgement, alongside professional advice for your home. This site is not responsible for a purchase, installation, tax filing, or programme application made on the basis of an estimate alone.
