Short answers, with links to the full guides.
Basics
DOE says "Photovoltaic (PV) materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy."
We do not say. The FTC lists the pitch, age, condition, and direction of your roof among the things that change the power you get.
Contractors
No. We are not a contractor or installer, and we do no installation work. We do not refer, match, check, or rate anyone. Verify any contractor's license or registration with your state. In Washington, use the Department of Labor & Industries' Verify tool.
The FTC says to "Compare detailed bids from several companies." Our bids guide lists what the FTC says a bid should have in writing.
Tax credit
Under federal law as amended on July 4, 2025, the residential clean energy credit (Internal Revenue Code section 25D) does not apply to expenditures made after December 31, 2025. The IRS says an expenditure is treated as made when the original installation is completed. See IRS.gov for details, and ask a tax professional about your situation.
Paying
We do not say. The FTC says "your options include buying a system, leasing a system, or signing an agreement to buy solar power."
