Real numbers. No guesswork.

Most homeowners don't know what their roof could produce, what programs they qualify for, or what the real 25-year number looks like. We calculate it.

Payback Timeline

Know exactly when your system pays for itself — accounting for your utility rate, net metering, and incentive timeline.

Every Incentive Mapped

Federal ITC, state rebates, utility programs, and energy community credits — we track what's available in your zip and what's actually worth pursuing.

Installer Accountability

We connect you with installers who've been vetted for licensing, insurance, and customer satisfaction — not just whoever pays the most.

The 30% federal solar tax credit is the most powerful incentive in the history of residential energy — yet most homeowners leave thousands on the table by not knowing it exists, not knowing what it covers, or not knowing how to stack it with state and utility programs.

The Inflation Reduction Act changed everything. But the window is closing — and the rules are complex. Panel vs battery vs heat pump — different credit percentages. Prevailing wage requirements. Domestic content bonuses. Energy community designations. The difference between a $5,000 credit and a $7,500 credit might be a single form.

"Every dollar of federal solar tax credit that slips through the cracks is a failure. Not of the homeowner — of the system that was supposed to make clean energy simple."

We built EnergyScout because the solar market is opaque, installers are inconsistent, and the math on your specific house shouldn't require a consultant. You should be able to know — in five minutes, for free — exactly what solar would cost, what you'd save, and what incentives are available to you.

That clarity is the product. Everything else follows.
