ADVISORY · RESEARCH FIRST

Have us look at your specific home

The advisory option starts with the homeowner's numbers, not a sales appointment. A Summit researcher reviews the roof, the utility tariff, and the household's actual usage profile, then sends back a written summary the homeowner can use to evaluate any quote that comes in later. If the numbers look worth pursuing, Summit can help route the next conversation; if they do not, the summary says that plainly.

What you’ll get

A written one- to two-page summary covering roof orientation, pitch, and shade exposure, the expected annual production for the property using NREL PVWatts inputs, the current rate structure under the relevant utility, and a realistic payback range under both a cash purchase and a typical financed deal.
A short list of red flags specific to the situation: roof age too close to a replacement cycle, HOA restrictions on panel siting, electrical panel capacity issues, tree shade that would change the calculus, or planned home-sale timing that makes a 25-year asset a poor fit.
A list of questions to ask any installer who quotes the property afterward, including the right way to request the cash price alongside the financed price, the P50 versus P90 production estimate, and the exact wording to confirm a system is not being quoted with a 30% federal credit line item it cannot actually deliver in 2026.

Schedule

A Summit researcher confirms the time, requests one recent electric bill ahead of the call, and sends the written summary within five business days. The dedicated booking form is being wired in; in the interim, the diagnostic quiz routes households into the advisory queue when "advisory call" is selected on the closing screen.
