Solar qualification can depend on homeownership, location, utility territory, electricity use, roof sunlight and condition, electrical infrastructure, credit requirements, local approvals and provider availability. No single online score can confirm every part of eligibility.
The home must support a workable design
The roof or property needs adequate usable area and sunlight, while the electrical system and structure must be compatible with the proposed equipment. Technical review can identify upgrades or design limitations.
The agreement has homeowner requirements
Third-party providers may apply credit, ownership and account criteria. A homeowner purchase or loan uses different underwriting and financial considerations. Requirements vary by product and provider.
Market availability changes
Utility programs, interconnection rules, installer coverage and provider offerings vary by location and time. Qualification is specific to an address and current market conditions.
