EnergySage tools: See typical solar costs and calculate an estimate for potential savings.
Residential Clean Energy Credit: If you install solar on your home and have sufficient tax liability, you may potentially qualify for a tax credit.
It is always a good idea to get several quotes from different solar installers to compare prices and scopes of work.
Beware of extra dealer financing fees that solar installers can sometimes build into their quote. Ask for the "cash price" of the system, even if you are considering financing through a loan.
