The one number that makes quotes comparable, pulled out of the fine print for every bid.
Equipment tier flagged
If one installer is quoting cheaper panels or a shorter warranty, you'll see it marked.
Financing laid out plainly
APR, term, and dealer fees, so a low monthly payment can't hide a higher total cost.

Reading the fine print
The parts of a solar quote most people can't read
Two bids can look identical and be thousands apart. We line up the six things that actually move the price, so you can see the difference before you sign, not after. All of it in the same format, side by side.
$/watt
The one number that makes quotes comparable. We normalize every bid to $/watt so you're comparing the same thing, not marketing.
System size
Does the proposed system actually cover your usage? We check the production modeling against your real last-12-months consumption.
Warranties
Who installs it, how long the workmanship warranty runs, and whether there's a written production guarantee behind the estimate.
Financing
Cash price, loan APR, term length, and dealer fees. A low monthly payment can mean a much higher total cost, we show you which is which.
Extras
Critter guard, monitoring, roof penetrations, and permit handling. We flag what's included and what quietly isn't.
How it works
One request. Several competing quotes.
You stay anonymous until you choose to talk to an installer. Nothing is signed, nothing is owed.
01
Tell Us About Your Home
Address, average power bill, and roof details. Takes about two minutes and costs nothing.
02
We Route It to Local Installers
Your request goes to a small number of vetted installers who actually serve your area, not a national call center.
03
Compare Quotes Side by Side
Bids come back on the same system spec so you can see price per watt, equipment tier, warranties, and financing terms.
04
You Pick the Winner
Choose the best deal, or walk away. You're never obligated to accept any quote, and we don't charge you a cent.
Your numbers
What could comparing quotes be worth to you?
Set the slider to your average monthly power bill. We'll estimate the spread between the highest and lowest quote for your system.
Same system, different price
Bids for an identical spec routinely land thousands apart. That gap comes out of your pocket if you only get one quote.
We don't install anything
We have no system to push, so our only job is lining up offers you can actually compare against each other.
Free, and no obligation
There's no fee to use the service, and no requirement to accept any quote that comes back.

Why USA Solar Network
We don't sell solar. We help you buy it well.
An installer has one system to sell you. We have none, so the only thing we're optimizing for is the deal you actually get.
No Inventory to Push
We're not tied to any panel brand or installer, so nothing gets steered toward the option that pays us best.
Vetted Installers Only
Every partner is licensed, insured, and checked for a real track record before they see your request.
Apples-to-Apples Bids
Price per watt, equipment tier, warranty, and financing laid out in the same format so gaps are obvious.
No Obligation, Ever
You're never required to accept a quote, and nobody will keep calling you after you say no.
Common questions
Straight answers before you share anything
Is this really free? What's the catch?
It's free to homeowners. We're paid by the installers in our network when they connect with a homeowner who's genuinely shopping, never by you, and never a cut of your system price. You'd pay the same whether you use us or contact installers directly.
Am I obligated to buy anything?
No. You can collect quotes, compare them, and walk away. There's no contract, no deposit, and no fee for not proceeding.
Will my info be sold to a hundred companies?
We send your request to a small number of installers who actually serve your area rather than selling your details to a list. If you ask a company to stop contacting you, tell us and we'll make sure they do.
How do you choose the installers?
Every partner is verified for licensing, insurance, and an established installation history before they're allowed into the network. We also review customer feedback and remove companies that don't hold up.
Are the installers actually vetted?
Every partner is verified for licensing, insurance, and an established installation history before they're allowed into the network.
How many quotes should I expect?
Typically three to five, depending on how many vetted installers cover your address. Rural areas may see fewer; competitive metros often see more.
How long does it take?
The request takes about two minutes. Most homeowners have their first quotes within one to three business days, and full comparisons within a week.
What about the federal tax credit and local incentives?
Those reduce what solar actually costs you, but they apply the same way to every installer's quote, so compare the pre-incentive price first. Your quotes should list the incentives you're eligible for so you can see the net cost.
