Why Solar Planning & Real-Time Monitoring Matter

Smart Solar Investment Planning

Making the right solar investment decisions requires accurate ROI modeling that accounts for your specific location, energy usage patterns, and available incentives. Our comprehensive solar payback calculator helps you understand exactly when your solar system will pay for itself, factoring in panel degradation, utility rate escalation, and local net metering policies.

Whether you're planning a rooftop installation, RV solar setup, or off-grid cabin system, accurate financial modeling prevents costly mistakes. Compare different panel configurations, battery storage options, and financing scenarios to optimize your solar ROI before you buy.

Real-Time Solar Performance Monitoring

Once your solar system is installed, ongoing monitoring ensures maximum performance and early detection of issues. Track your battery state of charge, solar production, energy consumption, and system health metrics in real-time through our integrated dashboard.

Our platform integrates with popular systems like Victron VRM and PVOutput, giving you professional-grade monitoring without the complexity. Identify underperforming panels, optimize battery charging cycles, and validate that your actual savings match your projections.

Local Solar Incentives Make the Difference

Solar incentives can reduce your system cost by 30-50% or more, but they vary dramatically by location and change frequently. Our incentives finder, powered by Rewiring America data, instantly identifies federal tax credits, state rebates, utility programs, and local financing options available in your ZIP code.

Don't leave money on the table. From the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) to state-specific solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs), we help you stack incentives properly and understand application deadlines, eligibility requirements, and income limits that could affect your savings.
