Don't sign that solar quote yet.

A solar quote is a $30,000–60,000 decision written by a salesperson. For $19, get an independent engineering review — grounded in power-electronics and solar PV expertise — that tells you if the price is fair, the equipment is good, the loan hides fees, and whether the production promise survives a physics check.

What quote reviews keep finding

Solar itself is usually a good idea. Solar quotes are another story — the same three problems show up again and again.

~20%average dealer fee buried in "low-APR" solar loans — thousands of dollars hidden in the financed price
price difference commonly seen between quotes for essentially identical systems in the same market
10–25%inflation we look for in production estimates versus an independent NLR PVWatts physics model

Four checks. One clear verdict.

Every review runs the same disciplined methodology and ends with a letter grade, the findings in plain English, and exactly what to negotiate or walk away from.

Fair-price check

Your price per watt, benchmarked against current market data for your state and system size — and the dollar figure you should actually be paying.

Equipment quality

The exact panels, inverters, and battery quoted, rated against our maintained tier list — warranty, degradation, and whether the electronics fit your roof.

Financing red flags

Dealer fees hidden in the loan, escalator clauses, tax-credit assumptions, and what the payment really adds up to over the full term.

Production physics check

The salesperson's kWh promise, tested against the National Laboratory of the Rockies' PVWatts model for your actual roof, tilt, and location.

How it works

No account, no sales calls, no follow-up spam. One quote in, one report out.

Pay the flat $19

Secure checkout by Stripe. That's the entire cost — no upsells, no subscription.

Reviewed by an engineer,
not an algorithm

Every report is prepared by an engineer with a PhD in electrical engineering — specialized in power electronics and solar photovoltaic converter design — using modern analysis tools plus published market data. We have no relationship with any installer, lender, or manufacturer, and we don't sell leads. The only thing we sell is the truth about your quote.

PhD-level power-electronics expertiseSolar PV converter design — the people who quoted your inverter can't out-jargon us
Independent by designPaid only by homeowners — never by installers, lenders, or equipment makers

Common questions

Is my quote's deadline real? The salesperson says the price expires Friday.

Expiring-price pressure is the industry's favorite tactic, and it is almost never real. Any installer who wants your business will honor their price next week. A 24-hour review costs you one day and can save you thousands.

What do I get, exactly?

A written report: an overall letter grade; a line-item read of your system's price, equipment, financing, and production estimate; the specific dollar amounts to negotiate; the questions to ask your installer; and the conditions under which you should walk away.

What if my quote is actually good?

Then the report says so — and you sign with confidence instead of doubt. Around some markets' honest installers, that's a real outcome. If the review surfaces nothing you find useful, we refund the $19.

Do you sell my information or send my quote to installers?

Never. Your quote is used for your review only, stored privately, and deleted on request. We are not a lead-generation site; we have no installer partners to send anything to.

Can you review battery, lease, or PPA quotes?

Yes — batteries are covered in the equipment and sizing checks, and lease/PPA offers get the same financing scrutiny (they usually need it most).

Is this engineering or financial advice?

No. It's independent technical analysis for consumer education — think of it as a very well-informed second opinion, not a stamped engineering certification or investment advice.

One day of patience.
Thousands of dollars of leverage.
