How people pay

Ways to go solar, and what each asks of you

The right choice depends on your finances and how long you plan to stay.

01

Paying cash

You own the system from day one and avoid interest. It needs the most money upfront.

02

A solar loan

You own the system and repay over time. Compare the interest rate, fees and the total you will repay.

03

A lease

You pay a fixed amount to use the system, which the company owns. Read what happens if you sell your home.

04

A power purchase agreement

You pay for the power the system produces, usually at an agreed rate. Check how the rate can change over time.

05

Adding battery storage

Batteries can keep some power on during an outage and store extra power. They add cost, so ask what they would do for you.

06

Not sure yet

That is fine. The first conversation is about whether solar suits your home at all.

What shapes a quote

Six things that decide what you are offered

01

Your roof

Its size, direction, pitch, age and material.

02

Shade

Trees and neighboring buildings can cut how much the panels produce.

03

Your electricity use

What you use and when, which sets how large a system makes sense.

04

Your utility's rules

How it credits power you send back, and any fees it charges.

05

The equipment

The panels, inverters and any batteries, and the warranty on each.

06

Permits and local rules

What your city or county requires, which can affect cost and timing.

Before you sign

Six things to ask any solar installer before signing

01

Are you licensed and insured?

Ask for the license number and proof of insurance, then check them with your state or local board.

02

What exactly is in the quote?

Panels, inverter, installation, permits and any battery, itemized in writing.

03

What do the savings figures assume?

Ask what electricity prices and usage the numbers are based on.

04

Who handles permits and the utility connection?

Know who does the paperwork and how long it usually takes.

05

What do the warranties cover?

Ask about the panels, the inverter and the installation work separately, and for how long.

06

What if I sell my home?

Ask what happens to a loan, lease or agreement, and get the answer in the contract.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

Is my home suitable for solar?

It depends on your roof's age, direction and condition, how much shade it gets and how much electricity you use. An installer assesses it and should explain what they found.

Do I need a new roof first?

If your roof is near the end of its life, it can be sensible to replace it before panels go on, since removing and reinstalling them later adds cost. Ask the installer for their view.

How much does solar cost, and how much will I save?

It varies with the size of the system, your roof and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Be cautious about savings claims that don't show the assumptions behind them, such as electricity prices and your usage. Ask for the numbers in writing.

Should I buy, finance or lease?

Buying with cash and financing with a loan mean you own the system. A lease or power purchase agreement means you pay for the system or its power over time, and the terms can matter if you sell your home. Ask to read the contract and the full repayment amount first.

Are there tax credits or incentives?

Incentives change over time and differ by state and utility. Don't rely on something you read a while ago. Ask the installer exactly which ones apply to you today, and check with a tax adviser before you count on them.

What is net metering?

It describes how your utility credits you for extra power your panels send to the grid. The rules differ by utility and can change, so ask how your utility treats it and how the quote reflects that.

Is it safe to deal with door-to-door solar sellers?

Be careful. Don't sign anything on the spot. Ask for the company's license number and proof of insurance, get the quote and contract in writing, and check references before agreeing.

What should I have ready?

A recent electricity bill if you have one, your roof's approximate age and material, and your ZIP code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a solar company?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't install, price or guarantee the work. The installer who contacts you is responsible for the quote and the job.

Will several installers call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified installer contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
