These are real numbers
from real rooftops.

Our house faces mostly north and I was 100% sure they'd tell us it wouldn't work. The site assessment guy spent an hour on the roof with his equipment and came back with actual numbers — not guesses. Twelve months in, our panels have generated more than the estimate. August bill: $38. Last August it was $347. I'm not exaggerating.

I called my roofing company before I signed anything — they said Solaris uses the same flashing hardware they specify themselves. Zero warranty issues. The install crew was in and out in one day, cleaned up perfectly, and my roof looks exactly the same. Except now it makes money.

Three other companies said our roofline was 'complicated' and quoted us astronomical prices to account for the risk. Solaris mapped every usable plane, worked around the chimney, and installed 22 panels in a configuration I didn't think was possible. First full billing cycle was $29. I called the utility company to make sure the bill wasn't a mistake.

We had a hailstorm in April — the kind that cracked three of my neighbor's skylights. Called Solaris the next morning half-panicked. They sent someone out within 48 hours. Not a single panel was damaged. The crew explained that the panels are rated for two-inch hail at 50 mph. I've since looked it up — they weren't overselling it.

I asked this exact question at the consultation. They showed me data from our zip code going back five winters, and explained that the dark panel surface sheds snow faster than shingles. Our system produced in every single month, including February when we had three back-to-back storms. Annual bill dropped from around $2,800 to under $600.

I'm a retired contractor — I've seen fly-by-night operations. I spent two hours on the phone with their operations manager before I signed. Workmanship warranty is 25 years. Panel manufacturer warranty is 30 years on output. They walked me through every document. Four years later, one microinverter failed. They replaced it in 72 hours, no charge, no hassle.

I'm 71 and on Social Security. My daughter had to talk me into even taking the consultation call. They showed me a zero-down financing option where my monthly payment was $112 — less than my average electric bill was running. Eighteen months in, my net cost after the payment and the reduced bill is about $40 a month. I don't know why I waited so long.

My shop was running $1,100 to $1,400 a month in the summer — compressors, lifts, lighting, AC. Solaris did a commercial assessment and installed a 48-panel system on the shop roof and part of the lot canopy. First summer after install I averaged $210 a month. The system pays for itself in under six years. That's money I'm reinvesting in the business.

I'm an accountant. I've run the numbers more times than I can count. Solaris was the only company that gave me a detailed year-by-year projection tied to my actual utility rate and local incentives — not a national average. My modeled payback was 7.2 years. I'm on track to hit it in 6.8 based on actual production. The federal tax credit made the first year math genuinely remarkable.
