Solar makes more sense
when it feels like your home.
Mike installed solar at his own home before offering it to other homeowners, then added batteries. That is why these guides start with ordinary decisions: what you want to keep running, how you want to pay, and what the agreement actually says.
You do not have to read everything. Start with one question and use the tool that helps you answer it.
