What we look at
- The proposed system and production estimate: what the proposal says you are buying and the assumptions behind its output.
- The price and payment structure: the cash price, financing terms or lease/PPA payments, and questions to clarify before committing.
- The savings story: the utility-rate and incentive assumptions used to make the offer look attractive.
- The support details: warranties, monitoring and who the proposal identifies as responsible when something needs attention.
What you receive
Review of one solar proposal, a one-page written assessment, and a 30-minute phone Q&A with Tim.
Your one-page assessment brings the main findings together in plain language. The 30-minute phone Q&A gives you time to discuss those findings and the questions you want answered before moving forward.
Take your assessment back to your installer with clear questions and specific points to discuss when negotiating price or terms.

This fictional New Jersey scenario illustrates the review format. It is not a client result or a promise of savings; your assessment is based on your own proposal.
