What's actually free? What's the catch?

The service is free to you. We charge the installers a small fee for the introduction — only when they win your business. That's why our incentive is to find you the lowest honest price, not the highest.

Why only 3 quotes? Why not 10?

More bids sound better, but they create noise: too many calls, too many specs to compare, and weaker leverage per installer. Three is the sweet spot — enough competition to keep pricing honest, few enough that each installer takes you seriously.

How do you vet installers?

A valid contractor license to install solar in their state (for example, a CSLB C-46 in California), minimum 5 years in business, no unresolved BBB complaints, and customer references we can verify. Installers who don't meet the bar don't get added — and ones who slip get removed.

Will I get hammered with calls?

Each installer contacts you once to introduce themselves and confirm a time to quote. That's it. If anyone gets pushy, tell us — we drop them. Your phone shouldn't ring 20 times because you asked a question.

How accurate is the instant quote estimate?

The estimate is a starting point, not a final price. We use Google's Solar API and your bill range to give a realistic ballpark — usually within 10-15% of what installers will quote. The 3 actual installer bids are firm.

What if I'm not ready to buy?

Most people aren't on day one. Get the estimate, see the bids, sit on them. Real installers expect a homeowner to take 30-90 days to decide. No pressure, no expiring offers.

I already signed a PPA. Did I screw up?

Maybe not. Many PPA contracts have a cancellation window (often 3-10 days). Even outside that, knowing what the market would have paid helps with the next solar decision — or the resale value of your home. Worth getting the numbers regardless.

Florida utility comparison path

Utility + permit-ready checklist

Florida permit and interconnection checks before signing

Compare three quotes on the same documented assumptions and utility-facing commitments so conversion risk stays clear and visible.

No guaranteed savings, financing approvals, utility policy outcomes, or installation dates are represented.

Start your 3-quote comparison

What to review in every Florida quote

• Confirm one ZIP and one monthly bill profile were used for every request

• Request complete written scope with total installed cost and excluded items

• Ask who owns permits, utility coordination, and site access responsibility

• Compare interconnection handling and expected timeline assumptions side-by-side

Why this checklist matters

A complete comparison starts with complete documentation. If ownership, permit paths, and utility-facing tasks are clear, homeowners usually spot meaningful differences faster and avoid contract surprises.

Florida interconnection FAQ

What should I request before comparing Florida solar quotes?

Ask every installer to confirm the same ZIP and home assumptions were used, provide a full written scope, and describe permit and utility-interconnection responsibility.

Do I need a specific utility permission before comparing?

The installer should explain utility-facing steps before signing. Keep your comparison to what is written, including who owns the permit process and interconnection coordination.

Can I compare three Florida quotes on the same timeline?

Use the same inputs for all three requests first. Once you have complete scope and utilities information, compare timing assumptions within that same table.

What should I avoid when reviewing Florida proposals?

Avoid comparing on headline price alone. Missing scope, unclear permit ownership, and vague interconnection commitments are common causes of surprises.
