About
About SolarCalcNow
SolarCalcNow is a transparent solar planning site for U.S. homeowners. It helps estimate system size, panel count, roof space, gross cost range, savings, and payback before a homeowner needs to speak with an installer.
The site is built around a no-email-gate principle: show useful calculator results first, then make any quote request optional and explicit. Estimates are planning ranges, not installer quotes, engineering designs, tax advice, or utility approval.
SolarCalcNow is not a government agency, utility, installer, or tax authority. The calculator keeps assumptions, source links, confidence notes, and methodology visible so homeowners can compare sales claims with a clearer baseline.
For how estimates, incentives, and marketing language are reviewed, see the editorial policy. Source updates and factual corrections are handled through the corrections process.
Editorial trust signals
SolarCalcNow is maintained as a source-aware planning product, not as an installer marketplace. Important numbers are tied to visible assumptions or reviewable sources, high-risk marketing language is scanned in preflight checks, and corrections are routed through a public policy page.
