Do you qualify for home solar?

This line connects homeowners with independent solar providers, and those providers only take calls from homes that fit all five points below. Here's why each one matters.

Call to see if your home qualifies(877) 565-3409

Home Solar Line connects you with an independent solar provider. We don't sell or install anything ourselves. Calls may be recorded.

  • Free call
  • No forms to fill out
  • Independent local providers
  • No obligation

Who this is for

Check all five before you call:

  • You own the home (not renting)
  • It's a single-family house or townhouse
  • The roof gets full sun or only light shade
  • Your power bill is over $100 a month
  • The home doesn't already have solar panels

Renting, in a condo, apartment or mobile home, under heavy shade, or already have panels? This line can't help with those, so please don't call.

What happens when you call

  1. Answer a few quick questionsDo you own the home, how much is your power bill, how sunny is the roof.
  2. Get connectedIf your home fits, you're put through to an independent solar provider who serves your area.
  3. Talk it through, then decideThey look at your roof and usage and explain options. No obligation to buy.

The five checks, explained

  • You own the home

    Panels are attached to the roof and tied into the electrical system, so the owner has to sign off. Renters can't, so providers can't help them.

  • It's a single-family house or townhouse

    Townhouses count when you own the roof. Condos and apartments usually have shared roofs and building rules. Mobile homes usually can't carry rooftop panels.

  • Full sun or light shade

    Output drops fast under shade. A roof shaded by big trees or taller buildings for much of the day usually isn't worth it.

  • Power bill over $100 a month

    Solar pays off by replacing power you'd otherwise buy. Smaller bills leave too little to replace.

  • No solar panels yet

    This line is for homes getting their first system. For repairs or add-ons to existing panels, call your original installer.

Not sure about one of them?

Shade is the one people are least sure about. Look at the roof around noon: if most of the south- or west-facing side is in direct sun, it's probably fine. If you still aren't sure, call and describe it; the provider can check satellite imagery.

Unsure about your bill? Average it over the year. A bill that's over $100 in summer and much lower the rest of the year may not be enough.

See if solar makes sense for your house.

One free call. Tell a provider about your roof and your bills, and decide from there.

Solar by state

Questions

Are you a solar company?

No. Home Solar Line is a free phone line that connects homeowners with independent solar providers. We don't sell, design or install systems, and we don't set prices.

Does the call cost anything?

No. The call is free, and there's no obligation to buy anything from the provider you talk to.

Who qualifies?

Homeowners in a single-family house or townhouse with a roof that gets full or mostly full sun, a power bill over $100 a month, and no solar panels already. If that's not you, the provider won't be able to help.

Is solar free if I sign up?

No. Home solar is paid for with cash, a loan, or monthly lease or PPA payments. Be skeptical of any pitch that makes it sound like it costs nothing.

What about federal incentives?

The federal residential clean energy tax credit no longer applies to home systems placed in service after 2025, so be wary of any pitch built around it. Some states, utilities and local programs have their own incentives. They vary, so ask a provider what applies to your address.

Will I still get a power bill?

Almost always. Most solar homes stay connected to the grid and pay a connection charge plus whatever they use at night or on cloudy days.

Do I need a battery?

Not always. A battery can store daytime power for the evening or an outage. Whether it's worth it depends heavily on your utility's rules, so ask.

What if my roof is old?

Say so on the call. Panels are meant to stay up for decades, so many providers suggest replacing an aging roof first.

How do I check the provider?

Ask for their contractor license (if your state requires one) and proof of insurance before signing anything. It's on you as the homeowner to check.
