Solar · Scope

One question to ask about a rooftop solar estimate

Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

The line that gets replies

Is the roof staying, or do you want a roofer's opinion before the array is designed? Put $22,000 in the email so they know which rooftop solar you mean.

Included and left out

Included: the panels and inverters for the usage we reviewed, racked on the south slope. Left out: a roof replacement, if the shingles will not last the life of the array. The price is the equipment sized to the bill we looked at. A cheaper system that ignores the usage is a different design. Do not put panels on a roof you already know needs replacement.

If you send it from QuoteLasso

One question on the rooftop solar estimate for $22,000.

Is the roof staying, or do you want a roofer's opinion before the array is designed?

The price includes the panels and inverters for the usage we reviewed, racked on the south slope.
