The 2026 reality

The 30% tax credit is gone.
Our price replaces it.

The federal residential solar credit expired December 31, 2025. Most companies kept charging like it still exists. We priced it out of the equation instead.

How it works

Four steps. Zero kitchen tables.

Enter your address

Our engine pulls your roof's 3D geometry, sun exposure, and shading from high-resolution satellite data covering 95% of U.S. homes.

Actual panel layout on your actual roof, with production estimates from your local weather data. Not a guess — a design.

Instant

Snap one photo

A picture of your electrical panel tells us if your home needs any extra work — so your price is locked before you pay a dollar, not after.

Our regional installation partners — background-checked, licensed, insured — handle permits, install, and inspection. 25-year workmanship warranty.

No other solar company will show you this. We think that's exactly why you should buy from one that will.

What's not in the price

Most solar horror stories start with a surprise. Here's ours in advance:

Main panel upgrade $2,000–4,000 if needed

About 1 in 4 older homes needs one. Your electrical-panel photo in step 3 tells us — and tells you — before you commit.

Battery storage Not offered at launch

We do solar + inverter only, done exceptionally well. If your utility's rates make a battery essential (looking at you, California), we'll tell you we're not the right fit yet.

Roof repair Quoted before install

If your roof won't outlive the panels, we say so and pause. Panels on a failing roof help nobody.

The FairWatt promise: every add-on is identified, priced, and approved by you before you pay anything. If the final price isn't the quoted price, you walk away and owe $0.
Same licensed crews as the big brands. Minus the sales machine riding on their work.
Every install: background-checked, licensed, insured, and warrantied for 25 years. The craftsmanship was never the expensive part.
The honest answer to "what's the catch?"

How is this $5,000+ cheaper?
We deleted the expensive parts.

No commissioned sales force

The rep, the setter who booked them, the manager who trained them, the leads they bought — you were paying for all of it. Our "sales team" is this website.

No hidden dealer fees

Most "zero down" solar loans bury a 15–30% lender fee in your price. We show cash pricing first and break out financing costs in the open.

Software does the paperwork

Design, engineering, and permitting run through software, not a back office. A design that took a site visit and two weeks now takes 60 seconds.

Our public promise

This price only moves one direction.

Every market we scale drops our install cost — and we publish the savings instead of pocketing them. Here's the roadmap we're holding ourselves to:

Questions people actually ask

FAQ, minus the spin

Who actually installs my system?

Licensed, insured regional installation crews through our national fulfillment partner — the same professionals who install for the big brands, without the big-brand markup. Every install carries a 25-year workmanship warranty serviced in your state, and you get your crew's name and license number before install day.

Is the online design accurate, or will the price change after someone sees my roof?

The satellite design is accurate to within a few percent for most homes, and a remote review by a NABCEP-certified designer confirms it before you sign. If anything changes after the on-site check, you approve the new price or walk away free. Our quote-to-final price match rate is the metric we live and die on.

Why don't you offer batteries or leases?

Focus is how we hit $2.20. Batteries and lease paperwork add cost, complexity, and — frankly — the fine print that gives solar a bad name. If a battery is essential in your market, we'll tell you honestly that we're not your best option yet.

The tax credit is gone. Does solar still make sense?

At $3.50/W? Often not. At $2.20/W, a typical Northwest home pays back in 8–11 years against rising utility rates, then generates essentially free power for 15+ more. That's why our price exists: to make the math work without a subsidy.

What's your angle? Nobody sells at cost.

We're not selling at cost — we make about $0.20 per watt, and we printed that number two scrolls up. We just don't spend $0.85/W convincing you. Volume at honest margins beats markup at low volume. That's the whole business model.
