What the quiz cannot tell you
Your real tilt, shading, rate plan and the installer's honesty. The estimator uses your bill and utility assumptions; the scorecard judges the quotes that follow. The quiz is the first 60 seconds, not the last word.

How the math works
The quiz is a transparent first-pass scoring framework, not a production or savings forecast. It weighs the homeowner inputs that commonly affect solar suitability, then points to the calculator or guide that can deepen the next question.
Key variables that change your result
Electricity use
Higher and steadier household electricity use can create more solar-offset opportunity.
Roof and shade
Usable roof area, direction and shading affect whether a system can produce what a bill-based estimate suggests.
Ownership timeline
Moving soon, financing terms or a pending roof replacement can change the value of an install.
