I'LL MATCH OR BEAT ANY FAIR, APPLES-TO-APPLES QUOTE
Got a solar quote? Let's decode it.
Paste in the key numbers from any quote you've received. I'll go through it line by line, flag anything that looks off, and show you exactly how it stacks up — apples to apples. If there's a better deal, different equipment, or a smarter option for your home, I'll tell you. Before you compare, it helps to know what fair pricing looks like. Here are my good, better, and best pricing tiers.
Watch: How to Read a Solar Proposal — The Complete Breakdown
Got a quote submitted? Before I review it, watch this walkthrough so you understand exactly what I'm looking at. I'll cover the five most important numbers in any solar proposal, walk you through what realistic production estimates actually look like, show you how to spot padding and inflated assumptions, explain cost per watt comparisons, flag common red flags like outdated incentives, and break down what equipment brands and warranties you should demand. Understanding these details makes it much easier to see why one quote is a better deal than another.
How the comparison works
You paste in their numbers or upload the PDF quote directly.
I break it down line-by-line — price per watt, real production, true incentives, and financing fine print.
I show you where you stand and what I'd do for the exact same home. No pressure.
What to Look for in a Solar Quote (What Most Companies Hide)
Here's what most quotes hide or gloss over:
- Real price per watt (before inflated incentives)
- Padded production estimates that look great on paper but fail on your roof
- Incentives that don't actually apply (like the expired federal credit for purchases)
- Lease or PPA escalators that trap you in rising payments
- Vague equipment specs where they swap in cheaper panels later
Will you really beat any price?
I'll match or beat any fair, apples-to-apples quote on comparable equipment — but I'll also tell you if the "cheap" quote is cheap for a reason. Real numbers, no games. If a national company is installing budget string inverters on a shaded roof, I won't match their price by doing bad work. But on a fair, comparable system? I've had plenty of customers tell me my price could not be beat.
How to Read a Solar Proposal Before You Sign
Before you sign anything, read the proposal the way I do. Check the real price per watt, confirm the production estimate is realistic for your actual roof, and make sure every incentive listed actually applies to you. If you want the full walkthrough, see my guide on how to read a solar proposal.
