What Happens During a Solar Consultation?

What to expect when meeting with a solar expert.

A solar consultation is the first step in your journey to energy independence. During this meeting, a solar expert will review your current energy usage by looking at your electric bills and assessing your goals. Whether you want to save money, reduce your environmental impact, or protect yourself from rising energy costs, the consultation ensures your needs are met.

The expert will evaluate your roof’s suitability using satellite imagery or an in-person site visit. Factors like roof angle, shading, and available space are considered to determine if your home is a good fit for solar. You’ll also receive a preliminary quote that includes the estimated cost, savings, and financing options tailored to your situation.

This is your chance to ask questions and address any concerns. The consultation is pressure-free, so you can take your time deciding if solar is right for you.
