How SolutionEnergy Works

SolutionEnergy is a research site with a simple request service. You read our guides, use the calculators, and when you are ready you can ask us for help with solar, a home battery, a backup generator or an EV charger. Here is exactly what happens after you send a request.

1. You tell us about your project

Each request form asks a few questions: what you want to power or install, your home or business, your state and ZIP code, your timing and how to reach you. Only your name, email, state and ZIP are required. The more you tell us, the better our answer.

2. We read it and reply ourselves

A person on our team reads every request and replies by email (or phone, if you prefer). We may ask a question or two, point you to the right guide or calculator, or tell you honestly when an option does not fit your home. We do not make automated calls or send text messages.

3. You choose whether to talk to an installer

If you ticked the optional box asking us to suggest installers, we look for independent, licensed companies that serve your area and tell you about them. Nothing is shared until you choose one. Only the installer you pick receives your details, so it can contact you about a quote. We never sell your request to a list of companies, and we do not pass it on if you did not ask.

We are still lining up installers in many states. If we do not yet know a company we would suggest near you, we will say so plainly rather than send you to just anyone.

4. The installer quotes; you decide

Installers are independent businesses. They visit or assess your home, check permits and utility rules, and give you their own quote and contract. SolutionEnergy does not install equipment, has no local offices and is not a party to your contract. Ask for proof of license and insurance, compare more than one quote when you can, and read the cancellation terms before you sign.

How we are paid

There is no charge to you for sending a request. We may be paid by an installer you choose to work with, and some product links on the site earn us a commission from the store at no extra cost to you. This never changes what our guides say; see our affiliate disclosure.

Your information

We keep requests only as long as we need them and delete old ones on a set schedule. You can ask us at any time to delete your request or to stop contacting you: just reply to our email or use our contact page. Details are in our privacy policy.
