Solar Is Local. Your Match Should Be Too.

Solar pricing, rebates, net-metering rules, and even which financing options you'll be offered all change based on your state, and often your specific utility. A homeowner in New Jersey gets a different deal than one in Texas, Arizona, or Florida.

Enter your ZIP and MySolarFY matches you with licensed installers who serve your area and surfaces the programs you may be eligible for. What we send you reflects what's actually possible at your address.

  • Licensed installers serving your area.
  • Programs based on public state and utility data, not a generic national pitch.
  • You're in control. You decide if and when to take the next step.
Why solar

More Reasons Homeowners Go Solar

Beyond a lower bill, here is what else comes with the switch.

Add to Your Home's Value

Homes with solar can sell for more. A Zillow analysis found a solar premium of around 4% on average, though results vary by home and market.

Backup Power in an Outage

Pair your system with a battery and keep the essentials running when the grid goes down.

Cleaner, Greener Energy

Run your home on clean power from your own roof and cut your household's carbon footprint.

Long-Term Peace of Mind

More predictable energy costs, and the satisfaction of doing your part for the planet.

What goes into the number

Why Solar Costs Differ From Home to Home

There is no single sticker price for solar, and anyone who quotes you one before seeing your home is guessing. Your real number comes down to a handful of things. Here is what actually moves it.

  • System size. How much power your home uses sets how many panels you need. A bigger bill usually means a larger system, and size is the single biggest driver of cost.
  • Your roof. Pitch, angle, age, shade, and usable space all change the design. A simple, sunny roof is cheaper to outfit than a complex or shaded one.
  • Equipment. Panels, inverters, and an optional battery come at different tiers. Adding backup storage costs more but keeps your essentials on during an outage.
  • Your utility rate. What you pay per kilowatt-hour today shapes the math. Many homeowners weigh the monthly solar payment against the utility bill it replaces. Local rates and net-metering rules vary by state and utility.
  • How you pay. Buying outright, financing with a loan, or going $0 down through a lease or PPA each lands at a very different upfront and monthly cost.

Want to skip the upfront cost entirely? Here is how $0 down solar works.

Whole-home solar

What's in a Whole-Home Solar System

A licensed installer designs the system around your home's actual electricity use. Here is what a typical setup includes.

  • Panels sized to your usage. Your installer sizes the array to cover as much of your home's electricity as your roof and budget allow.
  • An inverter. Converts the power from your panels into the electricity your home runs on, and sends extra back to the grid where net metering allows.
  • An optional battery. Add storage to keep your essentials running during an outage and use more of your own solar after dark.
  • Monitoring and warranty. Track production from your phone, with the equipment warranty and upkeep handled by the provider.
  • A licensed local install. Permitting, mounting, and the grid connection are handled by an installer who serves your area.

The install process

How Solar Installation Works

Once you are matched, a licensed installer handles the whole job. Here is what the process usually looks like.

1

Site Assessment and Design

The installer reviews your roof, shading, and electric use, then designs a system and gives you a quote.

2

Permits and Approvals

They pull the local permits and handle the utility paperwork for you.

3

Installation Day

A licensed crew mounts the panels, wiring, and inverter, usually in a day or two.

4

Inspection and Turn-On

After a local inspection and utility sign-off, your system is switched on and starts producing.

Enter your ZIP and we will match you with licensed installers near you.

No cost solar, explained

How $0 Down Solar Works

The Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, is the most common way homeowners go solar with no money out of pocket.

Under a PPA, a solar finance company pays for the panels, installation, permitting, and maintenance of a system on your roof. You don't buy the system. You buy the power it produces, often at a rate below your utility's.

The finance company owns and maintains the system for the term, typically 20 to 25 years. PPA and lease payments often include an annual price escalator (commonly around 1% to 3% a year), and total payments over the term may exceed the cash price of a comparable system.

1

Match & Design

A licensed installer designs a system for your roof at no charge.

2

$0 Down Install

The provider pays for the panels, inverter, install, and permitting. You pay nothing upfront.

3

You Buy the Power

You pay for the electricity the panels produce, often below your utility's rate per kWh.

4

They Handle the Hardware

Monitoring, repairs, and the equipment warranty are the provider's responsibility.

What "No Cost Solar" really means

Solar panels are not free. "No Cost" and "$0 Down" refer to having no out-of-pocket cost at the time of installation under a qualifying lease or PPA. You'll still pay a monthly amount. It's a payment for the power the system produces (PPA) or to rent the equipment (lease), and the goal is for your combined payment plus utility bill to be lower than your utility bill alone.

Where the 2026 tax credits stand

The 30% federal credit for homeowners who buy solar (Section 25D) ended December 31, 2025. A separate commercial credit (Section 48E) may apply to third-party-owned systems that meet federal deadlines, generally begin construction by July 4, 2026, or be placed in service by December 31, 2027. Some PPA and lease providers claim it and may factor it into the rate they offer, but pass-through is not guaranteed and varies by provider and agreement. MySolarFY does not provide tax advice. Consult a tax professional.

Common Questions

How much do solar panels cost?
It depends on your home: system size, your roof, the equipment, your local utility rate, and how you pay. That is why a personalized estimate from a licensed installer beats a national average. Enter your ZIP and we will help you get one for your address.
Will I get a real estimate, or just a sales call?
A licensed installer who serves your area follows up to put together an estimate for your home. There is no cost and no obligation, and you decide if and when you want to take the next step. We match you with installers; we are not an installer ourselves.
Can solar power my whole house?
Often, yes. A licensed installer sizes the system to cover as much of your home's electricity use as your roof, sunlight, and budget allow. Add a battery and you can keep essentials running during an outage. Enter your ZIP and we will match you with providers who can size a system for your home.
How do I find a solar provider near me?
Enter your ZIP and MySolarFY matches you with licensed installers that serve your area. We are a free matching service, not an installer, so you can compare a local provider against your current electric bill with no obligation.
How long does solar installation take?
The on-site install is often just a day or two. The full timeline from signing to switch-on usually runs a few weeks to a couple of months, since it includes design, permits, and a utility inspection. Your installer will give you a schedule for your area.
Who installs the solar panels?
A licensed installer that serves your area. MySolarFY is a free matching service, not an installer. We connect you with vetted local installers who design, permit, install, and service the system, and you choose whether to move forward.
How much can I actually save?
It varies. Some homeowners report cutting their monthly utility bill by 15% to 25% on a $0 down PPA from the start, and by 50% or more when they own the system. Real savings depend on your home, energy use, utility rates, system size, and the terms of your agreement, and are not guaranteed.
Is solar actually free?
No. Solar panels are not free. "No Cost" and "$0 Down" mean no out-of-pocket cost at the time of installation under a qualifying lease or PPA. You still pay a monthly amount for the power the system produces, typically lower than what you'd pay your utility for the same electricity.
Do I still get the 30% federal tax credit in 2026?
Not as a homeowner who buys. The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) ended December 31, 2025. A separate commercial credit (Section 48E) may apply to third-party-owned systems that meet federal deadlines, and some PPA or lease providers factor it into the rate they offer. MySolarFY does not provide tax advice. Consult a tax professional.
What credit score do I need?
It depends on the installer and program. MySolarFY does not run a credit check to match you. A licensed installer may use a soft inquiry to tell you what you pre-qualify for.
What happens after I submit?
We match you with a licensed installer that serves your area. They can follow up to confirm your details and put together a free, no-obligation estimate. You decide if and when to move forward.
Do I have to own my home?
Yes. Solar goes on a roof you own, so you'll need to own your home (and have HOA approval where it applies).
What if my roof isn't a good fit?
Roof age, pitch, orientation, and shading all affect eligibility. If your roof isn't a fit, the installer will tell you upfront, with no obligation.
Is MySolarFY the installer?
No. MySolarFY is a free matching service that connects you with licensed installers in your area. They design, install, finance, and service the system.
