Independent Second Opinion

Have a solar proposal? Get a second opinion before you sign.

Send us up to two solar or battery proposals for a complimentary initial review. We'll flag major questions, missing information, and concerns — then recommend whether to move forward, request revisions, or revisit the approach.

Who this is for

This service is for commercial building owners, small businesses, nonprofits, facilities teams, and organizations considering solar, battery storage, or EV charging. You may submit one proposal — having multiple bids is not required.

  • Commercial building owners and property managers
  • Small businesses and retail operators
  • Nonprofits, schools, and houses of worship
  • Facilities teams and operations managers
  • HOAs and community organizations
  • Municipalities and government facilities

What we look at

  • Project scope and exclusions
  • Proposed system size and production assumptions
  • Battery purpose and sizing assumptions
  • Cost and financing structure
  • Utility savings assumptions
  • Roof and site questions
  • Warranties and installer responsibilities

This is a preliminary screen based on submitted information, not a full design validation. A detailed comparison, utility analysis, or owner's representation engagement can be quoted separately.
