Explore Solar Options for Your Home
Discuss your home, electricity use, roof condition and possible solar options. Any projected savings, financing offers and provider availability depend on your property, utility rules and the terms offered.
Ask about available provider options, expected costs and next steps before you commit.

Six things one phone call gets you
Use a quote discussion to understand the installation, total cost, financing terms and whether the home may be suitable. Provider choices and availability vary.
Estimate your potential utility savings
Savings depend on system size, electricity use, utility rates, export credits, roof exposure, ongoing utility charges and financing costs. Ask to see the assumptions in writing.
Check current incentives
The federal residential clean energy credit is not available for qualifying expenditures made after December 31, 2025. State, utility or local programs may differ; verify current eligibility with the relevant program and a qualified tax professional.
Compare purchase and financing options
Upfront costs, interest, fees, payment terms and approval criteria depend on the provider and lender. Compare the total contract cost—not only the advertised monthly payment.
Consider battery backup
A battery may power selected loads during an outage when the system is designed for backup. Standard grid-tied solar usually shuts down during an outage unless approved backup equipment is installed.
Consider your roof and resale plans
Roof age, ownership versus lease, contract transfer terms and local buyer demand can affect the decision. Ask for these details before signing.
Ask about provider options
QuoteHiva is an advertising and referral service. The number of providers available to you depends on your location and current participation.
From the first conversation to a written estimate
Discuss your goals, check whether providers serve your area, then review costs and assumptions before deciding.
Describe your home and goals
Be ready to discuss your ZIP code, electricity use, roof age and whether you own the property.
Check available provider options
Provider coverage, credentials, quote turnaround and offers vary. Ask which independent providers may be available in your location.
Review the written quote
Compare system size, installed price, financing terms, utility assumptions, applicable incentives and warranty documents before you decide.

Three things to compare before going solar
A useful comparison should account for electricity rates, utility charges, export compensation, system costs, financing and applicable incentives—not just one savings estimate.
Current incentive eligibility
The federal residential clean energy credit is not available for qualifying expenditures made after December 31, 2025. Verify any state, utility or local incentives directly, and ask a qualified tax professional about your specific circumstances. Read current IRS guidance.
Credit for the power you export
Some utilities credit excess electricity sent to the grid, but rates and program rules vary. Confirm the current export-compensation terms with your utility.
Understand future costs
Solar does not automatically eliminate utility bills, and financing payments may change under some contracts. Review utility charges, escalation clauses and the full payment schedule.
Estimates depend on your state, utility, roof condition and usage. You get real numbers on the call, and you are free to walk away.
Is your home a good solar candidate?
These are discussion points, not a guarantee of qualification. A provider must assess the home, utility rules and project economics.
- You own your home or have the owner’s permission
- Your electric bill averages $75 or more per month
- Your roof has roughly 10 years of life left, or you plan to replace it
- Review any financing eligibility and terms directly with the lender
- Some unshaded roof or yard space with decent sun exposure
- Understand the current utility export rules and any applicable local programs
Not sure about your roof or credit? Call anyway. Advisors tell you straight if solar is a poor fit.
Questions to ask each solar provider
Rather than relying on generic testimonials or savings promises, ask for details specific to your home and contract.
What is the total installed cash price, including equipment, permits, electrical work and any roof-related costs?

Ask for the calculation in writing
What are the APR, fees, payment schedule, escalators, warranty exclusions and transfer or cancellation terms?

Straight answers
The five things homeowners ask us most before dialing.
What does the call cost me?
QuoteHiva does not charge homeowners for sending an inquiry through this page. Your carrier may apply standard phone charges, and any installation or provider service may have a cost. QuoteHiva may receive compensation from participating providers.
Will I get pushed into a contract?
You are not required to buy through QuoteHiva. Review any independent provider’s proposal, financing documents and cancellation terms before signing.
What should I have ready?
Your zip code, a recent electric bill (a rough monthly figure works), and ideally the age of your roof. Nothing else is needed to get numbers on the call.
Is the federal 30% residential clean energy credit still available?
The IRS says the residential clean energy credit is not available for qualifying expenditures made after December 31, 2025. State, utility or local programs may differ. Check current IRS guidance and consult a qualified tax professional about your circumstances.
My roof is older or partly shaded. Worth calling?
Roof age, shade, orientation, local rules and utility rates all affect suitability. Ask the installer to explain the assessment and show the assumptions in writing; not every home is a good fit.
One phone call. Real numbers. Zero pressure.
Discuss system costs, financing, roof condition, utility rules and battery options. Ask which independent providers may serve your area and review all terms before making a decision.
