Solar calculators & tools

Every tool runs in your browser, works without collecting any contact details, and shows every assumption it uses. If we ever connect you with installers, it happens after you’ve seen your numbers — and only if you choose.

Solar price calculator

Quote comparison

Financing calculator

Backup runtime + the honest solar-only vs solar+battery economics.

Incentive finder

Money

Status-aware federal, state and utility incentives for every state.

How the numbers are produced

All calculations run through one shared, unit-tested engine with a version number (2026.08.1). Inputs are your inputs; state data comes from EIA, NREL and marketplace reports; incentive status is maintained separately and expires visibly. Details: methodology.
