Talk to a solar installer receptionist

Pick a voice and call it yourself. It doesn't know you're testing.

Try describing something urgent and see how it handles you. · Uses your microphone · Nothing is saved

It already knows your trade

Not a generic script with your name dropped in. It speaks the language.

kW vs kWh

Size of the system versus energy produced. A 7kW system doesn't make 7kWh.

net metering

Selling surplus back to the utility. Rules vary by state and change — the single biggest factor in payback.

inverter

Converts panel DC to household AC. The most common failure point, and it has its own warranty.

microinverter vs string

Per-panel versus one central unit. Microinverters handle shading better.

interconnection

Utility approval to connect. Often the longest part of the timeline and outside our control.

ITC

Federal tax credit. A credit against tax owed, not a rebate cheque — a very common misunderstanding.

production guarantee

A contractual minimum output. Different from a hardware warranty.

derate

Real-world losses versus lab rating. Why a system never produces its nameplate number.
