The Solar Matchmaker: Your Personalized Solar Blueprint

Thinking about going solar? It’s an exciting idea—clean energy, lower bills, and freedom from the grid. But the moment you start researching, your excitement can turn into pure confusion. You’re flooded with aggressive sales pitches, confusing quotes, and a dozen different brands all claiming to be the “best.”

The truth is, many solar companies sell pre-packaged “bundles” that might not be right for your home. A pushy salesperson might try to sell you a system that’s too big, or a battery you don’t actually need, just to inflate their commission. They count on you being too overwhelmed to question the details.

This tool is designed to change that.

We built this simple “Solar Matchmaker” to cut through the noise and the sales tactics. By answering these simple questions about your life—not about technical jargon—you’ll get a clear, unbiased blueprint of what your home actually needs. This is your personal cheat sheet. Use it to understand the basics before you even talk to a salesperson, so you can walk into that conversation with confidence.

Let’s build your perfect solar system in the next two minutes.

How to Use Your Solar Blueprint

Your personalized blueprint above is the most powerful tool you have. It’s your starting point, giving you a clear, unbiased estimate of the system size, panel count, and battery needs that are right for you.

Now what?

Your next step is to take this blueprint and use it as a benchmark when you talk to installers. The #1 rule of going solar is get multiple quotes. Never go with the first company you talk to. We recommend getting at least three free quotes from certified, local installers.

When an installer gives you a proposal, compare it to your blueprint.

• Is their recommended system size similar to yours? If it’s much bigger, ask them to justify exactly why.
• Are they pushing a massive battery when your main goal was just saving money? Now you know to question it.
• Does their quote include the key components like a quality inverter and all necessary permits?

This blueprint is your defense against being oversold and your guide to making a smart, confident investment. You’re not just buying solar panels; you’re buying two decades of energy freedom. Now you have the knowledge to do it right.
