Why do solar quotes vary so much from house to house?

Because your roof, shade, electrical panel, equipment choice, and financing all change the price. A neighbor three doors down could get a quote $8,000 different from yours and both numbers could be honest. This page helps you understand why.

How do I know if a solar quote is actually fair?

When you understand what drives the cost, you can spot inflated numbers and lowball bids. This page gives you the framework so you walk into any quote conversation informed.
