The clearer way to shop solar
Buying solar shouldn't mean four in-home appointments and a folder of quotes you can't compare. We built SolarBids so homeowners can see honest pricing in seconds and decide on their own terms.
Why we started SolarBids
Solar is one of the largest purchases a homeowner will make, and it’s sold in one of the least transparent ways. Pricing depends on who knocked on your door first, how long you negotiated, and how much commission is baked into the contract. Two neighbors with identical roofs routinely pay tens of thousands of dollars apart.
We thought the process should work the other way around. Enter your address and your monthly electric bill, and we model your roof, your usage, and your utility’s rates instantly — then show you what a fair system actually costs. You get the numbers first. You decide whether to talk to anyone at all.
Because we don’t run a commissioned sales floor, the cost of selling you solar is a fraction of what it is in the traditional channel. That difference goes into your price, not into an acquisition budget.
