Solar is worth it for some homes and not others. The variables that decide it are usage, rate schedule, roof condition, how long you plan to stay, and the financing terms you are offered.
The cases where solar tends to make sense
High annual electricity usage, an unshaded roof with remaining service life, a rate schedule with expensive peak pricing, and plans to stay in the home long enough to see the system through its payback period.
Adding electric load — an EV, a heat pump, a pool — strengthens the case, because you are offsetting more kilowatt-hours with the same fixed installation cost.
The cases where it often does not
Very low usage, heavy permanent shading, a roof near the end of its life that has not been budgeted for replacement, or a near-term plan to sell before the system has produced meaningful value.
We will tell you when we think one of these applies to your home. Talking someone into a system that does not fit produces a bad review two years later.
What we cannot promise
Nobody can guarantee savings. Production varies with weather, shading and equipment performance, and utility rates change over time. What a good proposal gives you is a transparent model with its assumptions visible.
Solar production, bill offset and payment comparisons vary by home, usage, roof, shading, utility rate schedule and financing terms. Nothing on this site is a guarantee of savings. Pricing comparisons depend on system size, equipment, financing structure and contract terms. Any comparison is only meaningful between comparable systems and comparable financing.
