For many in the past decade, the idea of going solar was an idealistic thought, but one never based in reality. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, times have changed, and so has access to going solar. As of recently, I have seen the push for more people to make the switch, and with the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.com\/learn\/ten-benefits-go-solar\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and incentives that come with going solar, I figured it was finally time to do my research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I searched on Google to learn more about going solar, I found Soalr.com, which had the option right on their website to find<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.com\/learn\/solar-providers-near-me\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solar providers near me<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> within their own search engine. I wanted to share my experience of how easy it was for me.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Right when I visited on their page, it was clear that they had one goal and that was to get me to answers as soon as possible. I entered my information and hit search, and was looking forward to seeing all the available solar providers pop up. Surprisingly, what I got was far more than that list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Your%20Property%20is%20Solar%20Friendly.png\" alt=\"Your Property is Solar Friendly.png\" width=\"870\" height=\"223\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How cool is this? Solar.com didn&#146;t just list out a bunch of solar providers and leave me hanging; they gave me custom metrics related to my property to help me figure out if going solar was the right decision. They even calculated how much I could be spending on electricity over the next year, which really put things in perspective for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I scrolled down, it showed me my potential solar impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Your%20Solar%20Impact%20at%20a%20Glance.png\" alt=\"Your Solar Impact at a Glance.png\" width=\"870\" height=\"355\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, this changes with the size of one&#146;s monthly bill but knowing what system size I needed and how much I could be saving is actionable information. In addition, collecting this information means they are helping me find a custom solar provider near me that fits my specific needs. A solar provider who helps a mansion go solar might look different from a solar provider who helps townhomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before I get my list of curated solar providers near me, Solar.com tells me my financing options, so I am educated on what I need and why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Financing%20Options.png\" alt=\"Financing Options.png\" width=\"870\" height=\"360\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step was to signup with Solar.com for detailed estimates from solar providers on their network. After creating an account, I was taken to the page where I could schedule a time to talk to a solar specialist and have them handpick the top 3 solar providers near me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be frank, <\/span><strong>this process rocks<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. One of the biggest challenges with going solar is the fact that there is a lot to learn and not a good place where all the information exists in one place. If I were to do my own research and contact solar providers on my own, I wouldn&#146;t know what to say or what my needs were. Just because I want to go solar doesn&#146;t mean I&#146;ve done all my homework yet. I&#146;m sure many people are in this position and eventually get taken advantage of by solar providers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.com\/\">Solar.com<\/a> takes this challenge that many people deal with and provides the education needed to make a decision on if going solar is right for them. Now, I&#146;m hooked on Solar.com and am looking forward to learning more about going solar as time goes on. Thanks to them, I have professionals that are able to help me find solar providers near me whenever I want.<\/span><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following post is a testimonial from a user of Solar.com&#8217;s Solar Savings Calculator.
