Live math
Your two numbers, right now.
Enter your ZIP and we run NREL's federal solar data and your area's average utility rate through the same 25-year comparison. Both totals, computed while you watch.
The honest read
35¢ power. The math isn't subtle.
At California prices the comparison is rarely close — but 'rarely' isn't 'always.' Shade, usage, and your roof still decide. So we design from your real usage and put both 25-year numbers on one page before you sign anything. If solar doesn't beat your bill, you hear it from us first. That's the Pencil Promise.
