Solar contract checker

What does the solar contract checker look for?

The clauses that decide the real cost and what happens when you sell. That means the yearly price increase, the length of the term, anything recorded against your home, whether a buyer can take the agreement over, your right to cancel, removal and buyout terms, production guarantees and arbitration. It quotes each one from your document with the question to ask.

Is my contract uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read by your own browser on your own device, and the text never leaves it. We cannot see it, store it or keep a copy. That is deliberate: a solar contract has your name, address and payment details in it.

Why does the yearly increase matter so much?

Because it compounds. A small percentage applied every year for a long term multiplies the payment you start with. The checker shows the multiple for years 5 through 25 whenever it finds a rate, so you can see what the last payment looks like before you sign the first one. More on this insolar escalator clauses.

What if it says a clause was not found?

Ask where it is. Wording varies, and some terms sit in an exhibit or a separate document the checker was not given. A missing cancellation clause or a missing Florida disclosure form is worth a direct question before you sign, in writing, to the person who gave you the contract.

Does it work on a scanned contract?

Yes. If a PDF has no text in it, or you choose photos of the pages, the checker reads the words from the images on your device. That takes longer, especially on a phone, and it can misread a blurry or crooked page, so check each quote against your copy.

Who built this, and why?

We sell solar subscriptions, so we have a side in this. We built it because the clauses that cause the most trouble later, at a home sale or a refinance, are the ones nobody reads at the kitchen table. Read ours with it too.
