A Simpler Way to Shop for Solar

Most online solar quote sites are lead-gen forms that sell your number to every installer in the zip code. Solar Connect works differently. You submit your home details once. Vetted local installers send quotes through our platform. You compare on your own time and only contact the installer you choose.

How much does solar cost?

There's no single sticker price for solar. Cost depends on your home, your energy use, the equipment, and how you pay for it. Below are the biggest factors that move the number up or down. The only way to see your real price is to compare quotes from local installers.

System Size

The biggest driver of cost. Your system is sized to your annual energy use. A larger home or higher electric bill needs more panels, which raises the total but also offsets more of your bill.

Equipment Quality

Premium panels and inverters cost more up front. They also produce more power, carry longer warranties, and degrade more slowly. The extra cost often pays for itself over the system's life.

Roof Complexity

Roof pitch, material, shading, and the number of separate roof faces all affect labor and mounting hardware. A simple, unshaded roof installs faster and cheaper than a complex one.

Battery Storage

Adding a battery raises the upfront cost, but it stores your solar for nighttime use and outages. Under rate plans like NEM 3.0, it's often what makes the system worthwhile.

How You Pay

Cash, loan, lease, or PPA each change what you pay and when. Buying outright costs the most up front but the least overall. Financing spreads it into monthly payments.

Where You Live

Local labor rates, permitting fees, and utility rules vary by region. The same system can cost different amounts depending on your city and installer.

Back up your home with no disruption

Adding a battery to an existing solar system, or starting fresh with both? Solar Connect quotes the major residential batteries (Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery 10C, and others) from installers in your area. You see the spec differences, the sizing math for your home, and the price each installer charges for the same equipment. Compare without anyone selling you on a single option.

Charge your EV on your terms

Charging an EV at home can significantly increase your electric bill. Pairing a Level 2 charger with solar changes that math. You fuel the car from your own panels (or stored battery power) instead of buying every kilowatt-hour from the utility. The lowest cost-per-mile way to drive. Solar Connect quotes the charger and the install through licensed local electricians, on the same proposal as your solar.
