How the ratings work

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over a hundred people carries more than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how lately customers are still leaving reviews.

What drives the cost of a solar install

No prices are published here. The size of the system, rooftop or ground mounting, battery backup, inverter and panel choice, electrical upgrades and financing all move the total. Compare written quotes from more than one provider and ask what’s included in permitting and utility paperwork.
