About SolarCostDB
Helping homeowners understand solar costs and make informed decisions since 2024.
Our Mission
Solar energy is one of the best investments a homeowner can make, but the industry is full of confusing pricing, high-pressure sales tactics, and opaque contracts. Most homeowners have no idea whether the quote they received is fair.
SolarCostDB was built to fix that. We aggregate real solar cost data from installer surveys, homeowner reports, and industry pricing studies, then publish it in a clear, searchable format. Our goal is to put homeowners on equal footing with the installers they hire.
Data-Driven
Every cost figure on SolarCostDB is derived from real market data -- installer pricing surveys, homeowner reports, and verified industry studies. We display ranges, not false precision.
Editorial Independence
Our cost data and recommendations are determined by our research team, not by advertising. Solar installers cannot pay for higher placement or better reviews.
Homeowner First
We exist to help homeowners make informed decisions. We are not a solar lead generation company. We do not sell your information. Our business model is display advertising.
Transparent
We clearly disclose how we collect data, our methodology, and how we make money on every page. You deserve to know who you are getting information from.
How We Make Money
SolarCostDB is a free service supported by display advertising via Google AdSense. Ads are clearly labeled and do not influence our editorial content, cost data, or panel brand recommendations.
