In this episode of Rooftop Solar Decoded, we break down the most common red flags hiding in US solar quotes. From oversized systems based on peak electric bills instead of yearly averages to shifting net metering and NEM rules that slash export credits, we cover how to evaluate real costs. You'll learn why cash purchases often beat loans once interest stacks up, plus how to counter limited-time incentives, unrealistic production estimates, and pressure tactics that push quick decisions.
Key takeaways:
- Add twelve months of bills and divide for your true average usage before comparing sizes
- Check NEM fine print for credit rate drops or wholesale pricing after specific years
- Calculate total paid under cash versus financed options including five to six percent interest
- Request the same quote priced without deadlines or at month-end to test urgency
- Adjust production numbers downward ten to fifteen percent for actual roof tilt and shading
These practical checks turn confusing proposals into clear choices based on your numbers, not sales assumptions.
