What home project
are you working on?

Yes, completely free. The Home Service Guide earns a referral fee from contractors when a successful match is made — you never pay us anything. There's no obligation to hire anyone after receiving your quotes.

Savings vary by state, utility rates, and system size, but most homeowners see 50–90% reductions in their monthly electric bills. The 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is still available through 2032, which alone can cut $6,000–$12,000 off the cost of a typical system. Many states add additional incentives on top of that.

Not necessarily, but your roof should have at least 10–15 years of life left before installing panels. If your roof is older, many homeowners bundle a roof replacement with their solar installation — some installers offer discounts when both are done together.

At minimum: your ZIP code, average monthly electric bill, and whether you own your home. A contractor may follow up asking for a recent utility bill or satellite imagery of your roof to size the system properly.

Most homeowners receive their first contractor contact within a few hours of submitting. In some markets, you may hear back within minutes during business hours. You'll receive quotes from multiple contractors so you can compare.

Your information is shared only with licensed contractors in our network who serve your area, and only after you've provided your express written consent on our form. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
