We built Solrova because homeowners deserve real numbers — not a sales pitch dressed up as data. Enter your address and energy bill. See exactly what solar is worth for your home. In 60 seconds.
Going solar should be a straightforward financial decision. Instead, homeowners face a gauntlet of confusing quotes, pressure tactics, and numbers that don't add up. Here's what we kept hearing:
Traditional solar quotes require scheduling a site visit, waiting for a proposal, and sitting through a 2-hour sales presentation — just to get a number.
"You'll save 85% on your bill." What does that mean? Most solar calculators give you a vague percentage with no explanation of how it was calculated.
Enter your information on a solar comparison site and you'll get five calls in five minutes — often from companies you've never heard of and didn't choose to contact.
Offset percentages. kW vs. kWh. Net metering. ITC. SREC. Homeowners shouldn't need a glossary just to figure out if solar is worth it.
We started from first principles: what would a solar savings tool look like if it was built for the homeowner, not the installer?
We show your estimated annual kilowatt-hour savings alongside your finance options. No vague offsets. No mystery math. Just the number that actually tells you what solar is worth.
Our estimates are powered by NREL's PVWatts production data and Google's Solar API — the same tools used by professional solar designers. We cite our sources so you can verify everything.
Solrova is TCPA-compliant by design. We only share your contact information with an installer after you explicitly opt in and choose to connect. You can use the full tool completely anonymously.
Every installer in our network goes through a qualification process covering licensing, insurance, customer satisfaction records, and installation quality. We don't take every company that applies.
No appointments. No forms. No follow-up calls you didn't ask for.
We use your address to pull roof orientation, pitch, and real sun-hour data for your exact location. Your utility bill tells us your actual usage — so the estimate fits your home, not a national average.
Your interactive proposal shows system size, 25-year savings, and six financing options — Cash, Loan, Lease, PPA, and more. Adjust the system size live and watch the numbers update in real time.
Ready to move forward? We'll introduce you to a qualified Solar Partner in your area. Not ready yet? Save your estimate and come back whenever you are. No pressure. Ever.
Anyone can build a solar calculator. Here's what makes Solrova's estimates worth trusting.
Production estimates come from NREL's PVWatts — the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's peer-reviewed solar model — combined with Google's Solar API for roof-level irradiance data.
Verified SourcesWe never sell your contact information without explicit, documented opt-in consent. Our consent logging meets FCC Telephone Consumer Protection Act standards. You own your data.
Your Data, Your CallSolrova is free for homeowners. We earn referral fees from installers only when you choose to connect with one. That fee is never added to your quote — installers agree to this as a condition of partnership.
Always Free to UseEvery estimate includes a confidence tier and links to the data sources behind it. We publish our calculation methodology so engineers, journalists, and skeptical homeowners can audit it themselves.

I spent years working in solar in Las Vegas — not selling it, but handling what happened when things went wrong after the sale. Homeowners who felt like the numbers they were shown didn't match reality. Systems that weren't performing the way they expected. People who had questions nobody seemed willing to answer anymore once the contract was signed.
I don't think most of the industry is full of bad people. But I watched the same problems happen over and over, and a lot of them came down to one thing: homeowners were making big decisions without enough real information.
That's what Solrova is about. No pitch. No pressure. Just the math on how solar actually works — what you'd save, what you'd pay, and how long it really takes to break even — so you can decide for yourself.
