Square footage is how we price paint and flooring. It’s a bad way to price solar. 🏠

Two homes the same size can use very different amounts of electricity. An EV, a hot tub, a home office, or older appliances can change your system size more than an extra bedroom ever will.

Here’s what actually drives your quote:
⚡ Your annual kWh usage, not your monthly bill amount
📐 System size, priced per watt
🏗️ Adders like steep roofs, panel upgrades, or trenching
📍 Where you live and which installer you choose

In 2026, most residential systems run about $2.41 to $3.34 per watt, with no federal tax credit to offset the cost. On an average 12 kW system, that’s more than $11,000 between a low and high quote.

Before you call anyone, pull your last 12 months of usage from your utility account. Every accurate quote starts with that number.

Is community solar actually worth it? 🤔

It can be, especially if you can't put panels on your own roof. But before you sign up, there are a few things worth knowing:
☀️ How community solar actually lowers your bill
🏠 When installing your own system can save you more
📈 Why an escalator clause can change your savings over time
📄 What to check in the contract before you sign
🛡️ And if you go with your own system, who installs it matters.

Solar Insure Certified Providers can offer SI-30 warranties that stay in place even if the installer or manufacturer goes out of business.

Your business could be paying for a power spike that only lasted 20 minutes ⚡

That’s how demand charges work. Utilities track your power draw in 15 to 30-minute intervals and bill you based on your highest one of the month. Run at 80 kW all day, spike to 140 kW once, and you’re billed on 140.

It’s one of the biggest reasons businesses are adding batteries. Full breakdown at the link in our bio.

Sol-Ark’s L3 indoor and outdoor batteries look nearly identical on paper. Until you check how many cabinets each one can stack on a single inverter 👀

🔋 Outdoor HVR-60: up to 6 cabinets, 368 kWh
🏢 Indoor HV-60: up to 16 cabinets, 983 kWh

Same 61 kWh cabinet. Nearly 3x the storage per inverter indoors. Full review at the link in our bio.

Your solar company went out of business. Now what?

Your panels keep producing power, and your manufacturer warranties still apply. What you lose is the company that was supposed to service, monitor, and repair your system. Your next steps depend on where your project stands:

🏗️ Not yet installed: You’ll need a new installer to finish the job. Call your city building department and utility, since permits are usually tied to the original contractor.

🔌 Installed, no PTO: You’re close. A new installer can help you pass inspection and get the report to your utility. Inspections expire, so don’t wait.

✅ Installed with PTO: Gather your paperwork, confirm you can access monitoring through your equipment manufacturer, and line up someone to handle future repairs.

Prepaid solar deals can work well for homeowners. They just need to be sold the right way.

Every prepaid deal should follow five practices:
👉 Be transparent on pricing
👉 Clearly explain buyout mechanics
👉 Talk through what happens if the home sells
👉 Don’t overpromise savings or performance
👉 Make it clear who owns and services the system, short and long term

By the end of the conversation, the homeowner should know who owns the system, what the prepaid amount covers, their end-of-term options, and what service coverage exists.

This is one piece of our full breakdown on vetting prepaid lessors. Watch the whole video at our link in bio or here: https://youtu.be/quIa8Y4DeIg

43% of installers say prepaid providers are hard to vet or trust, according to Ohm Analytics.

That’s a real problem, because a prepaid lessor doesn’t disappear after the install. They own the system for the first five to six years, then ownership transfers to the homeowner. Whatever was promised at the kitchen table has to hold up through that handoff.

Before an SI-30 warranty goes on a prepaid system, we evaluate the lessor in four areas:
- Track record
- Coverage and compliance
- Service model
- Financial strength

In our latest article and video, we also cover how we believe prepaids should be sold, what homeowners need to understand before signing, and which lessors we currently have approved.

RE+ is only a month away, and Solar Insure will be in Las Vegas to talk commercial warranty coverage.

Property owners expect decades of predictable performance, but manufacturer warranties don't cover the service, labor, and ownership complexity of commercial-scale systems. SI-commercial closes that gap with a warranty built specifically for commercial projects.

- 30-year panel and 20-year inverter coverage, parts and labor included
- Protection if a manufacturer goes out of business
- Coverage for commercial systems up to 2 MW DC

Stop by booth C4190, or start the show with us at our breakfast with Rello and Fortress Power.

📅 Tuesday, November 17 | 8:30-10:30 AM PST

Bringing your team? Please have each person register individually to save their seat:

Paying for a commercial solar system and protecting it are two different conversations. Both matter. 🛡️

If your customer is financing an asset for 20 or 30 years, the conversation can't stop at how they'll pay for it.

🔧 Labor for swapped-out equipment
🚚 Service calls and truck rolls
💸 Costs that land on your bottom line or your customer's savings

C-PACE can help answer how they'll pay for it. Solar Insure can help answer how they'll protect it.
