Compare Solar Quotes in the USA

US solar proposals vary widely in equipment quality, warranty terms, and what's actually included. Solar Padtal extracts the specs from each proposal, compares scope apples-to-apples, and flags missing items like interconnection fees, permits, and monitoring costs.

What to check in a US solar proposal

  • • Net metering or net billing rate — check your state policy
  • • Panel efficiency and warranty — Tier 1 manufacturers vs budget options
