Antes de pedir una cotizacion solar, haz esto primero.
Los instaladores quieren darte la propuesta antes de que entiendas tu casa. Eso no es casualidad — es toda la estrategia.
Cuando no conoces tus numeros, ellos fijan las suposiciones. Tu consumo, tu compensacion, tu plazo de recuperacion — todo lo moldea quien te contacta primero.
Esto es lo que debes saber antes de hablar con alguien:
1. Your actual all-in $/kWh
Not the number on the rate card — the real amount you pay per kilowatt-hour when delivery, supply, and fees are all in. This is the number solar savings are measured against.
Check your bill2. What your bill can and can't be offset
Fixed charges, minimum bills, and demand fees don't disappear with solar. See what '100% offset' actually means for your utility bill before a salesperson frames it for you.
See bill reality3. Whether your panel is the real bottleneck
If your electrical panel is maxed out, solar installation gets complicated and more expensive fast. An installer who doesn't check this before quoting is cutting corners.
Check panel capacity4. What a normal $/W looks like in WNY
Price-per-watt is the only honest way to compare quotes. If you don't know the band, you can't tell whether $3.20/W is fair or $4.80/W includes a hidden dealer fee.
