Prepare for a useful solar conversation.

You do not need to know the right system size before speaking with us. Start with what you know about your home, then use this checklist to compare the next steps.

01 / ELECTRICITY

What does my home use?

Have recent electricity bills ready. Note your utility provider, seasonal changes, and plans for an electric vehicle or other new electrical equipment. Remove account and payment details before sharing a bill.

02 / PROPERTY

What should be checked on my roof?

Note your roof’s approximate age, known repairs and shaded areas. Ask the responsible installer what inspection is needed before recommending a layout. An online conversation does not replace a site assessment.

03 / BACKUP

What would I want a battery to power?

List the lights, appliances and other essentials you would prioritize during an outage. Ask how the proposed equipment would support those loads and for how long under stated conditions.

04 / PROPOSAL

What am I comparing?

Ask for the equipment models, proposed system size, production assumptions, full price and installation scope in writing. Compare proposals on the same assumptions rather than a monthly payment alone.

05 / PAYMENT

What is the full commitment?

Request written purchase or financing terms, including upfront costs, fees, total payments and ownership responsibilities. Bring any questions about how the proposal fits your household budget.

06 / RESPONSIBILITY

Who will do the work and support it?

Ask for the installer’s legal name and license information, project schedule, warranty documents and service contact. Confirm who is responsible for permits, utility coordination and any roof work.

Your local questions matter.

Tell us your Los Angeles neighborhood or ZIP code, utility provider and whether you own the property. We can use the conversation to identify what information is needed next. Installation availability and home-visit coverage require confirmation for your location.

Have these details handy

  • Your city or ZIP code and property ownership status
  • Recent electric bills and your utility provider
  • Roof age, known repairs and shading
  • Your backup-power priorities and questions
