Tips for Getting Accurate Solar Estimates

Online calculators provide useful ballpark figures, but for precise pricing you should get quotes from 2-3 local installers who can assess your roof in person. They'll account for shading, roof angle, structural requirements, and local permitting costs that generic calculators can't factor in.
