Why buy direct

A better way to go solar

Straight From the Factory

Tier-1 panels shipped to your driveway with no dealer network in between.

Cut the Sales Markup

Typical door-to-door solar carries 30–40% in commissions and financing fees. You don't pay it.

Hire Your Own Installer

We show you how to source, vet, and price local electricians and roofers.

Real Warranties

25-year performance and product warranties handled directly with the manufacturer.

The math

Where the money actually goes

On a typical quoted solar system, the hardware is a minority of the price. The rest is commission, financing dealer fees, and overhead. Buying equipment direct and paying a local crew for labor removes most of it.

See the full breakdown
Typical turnkey solar company$3.20 – $4.00 / watt
Direct equipment + local installer$1.80 – $2.40 / watt
Average 8 kW homeowner savings$11,000 – $14,000

Ranges are national estimates for planning only. Your final cost depends on roof complexity, local labor rates, and utility requirements.

How it works

Five steps from bill to production

  1. 01

    Size Your System

    Use your utility bill and roof to figure out how many kilowatts you actually need.

  2. 02

    Pick Your Equipment

    Choose panels, inverters, and racking — or start with a pre-matched kit.

  3. 03

    Order Direct

    We ship from the manufacturer's warehouse to your home or your installer's yard.

  4. 04

    Find Your Installer

    Use our vetting checklist and bid sheet to hire a licensed local crew.

  5. 05

    Permit and Turn On

    Permit packet, inspection, interconnection, and your first day of production.
