Hi! Here's our last power bill. Is our roof any good for solar?
Thanks! Pulling up your roof on satellite now.
South-facing, no big trees. A 7.2 kW system covers about 90% of your usage. Estimate is in your email.
That's better than I expected. Let's book the site visit!
Example of a typical first estimate, done by text
Everything your roof can run.
Scroll sideways. Each piece works on its own, and together they're what our crew installs every week.
Battery backup
Keep the fridge, well pump and Wi-Fi running through outages. Sized to what you need on, not the biggest box.
Learn more →EV chargers
Level 2 chargers on the right circuit, with load management so you can often skip a panel upgrade.
Learn more →Monitoring
Watch production on your phone. We get an alert when output drops and call you before you notice.
Learn more →Small commercial
Shops, offices, farms and warehouses. Flat-roof and ground mounts, with the incentive paperwork handled.
Learn more →Care & cleaning
Yearly checkups, panel cleaning after smoke season, and critter guards so birds don't nest under the array.
Learn more →Add-ons & upgrades
More panels on an older system, a battery added later, or a reroof where your array comes off and goes back cleanly.

What our customers say
"We texted a photo of our bill on a Tuesday and had a design by Wednesday. The crew was tidy, finished in two days, and our summer bills are basically just the base charge now."
"The battery earned its keep in the January ice storm. The fridge, well pump and furnace fan ran for two days while the whole street was dark. Dana checked in on us by text both mornings."
"They put 48 kW on our shop roof and handled every bit of the incentive paperwork. A year in, production is within a couple percent of what they promised."
Common questions
Is my roof a good fit for solar?
Most south, east or west-facing roofs work. On the site visit we check shade, roof age and structure, and tell you straight if it needs work first or if solar won't pay off.
What does it cost?
It depends on your roof, usage and incentives, so we give you a fixed price after the site visit. No surprise add-ons.
What happens when the power goes out?
Grid-tied panels shut off to protect line workers. Add a battery and your key circuits keep running.
Do you service systems you didn't install?
Yes. We troubleshoot, add panels or batteries, and take over monitoring for most major inverter brands.
