About Solar States — how we research solar honestly

Solar States is an independent guide to residential solar in the United States — written for the homeowner on the other side of the sales call.

We cover all 50 states: what solar costs, what your state's incentives and net-metering rules actually are, and how to compare installer quotes in $/W instead of vibes.

How we keep it honest

Every number carries a source and a "last verified" date.
Nothing is in review stays visible as fact — it is labeled.
We are not an installer, manufacturer, utility or sales affiliate (yet). No leads, no kickbacks.
Guides are written by the Solar States research team and refreshed on a rolling schedule.
