Solar Advisor · free, no sign-up

Find out what solar would do for your home.

Tell us where you live, whether you rent or own, and roughly what you pay for electricity. We'll check your state's plug-in solar law, estimate what solar would produce at your location using NREL's solar model, and suggest the option that fits you best, whether that's a small plug-in kit for a balcony or a full rooftop system.

A ZIP code is enough for an estimate. A street address also gets you an aerial view.

Do you rent or own it?
