Media mentions

"According to residential solar panels consumer review site SolarReviews, you could sell your home for nearly 7% more if it has rooftop solar."

"SolarReviews offer a calculator that will quickly provide you with representative costs and savings for a solar power system in every part of the U.S. Calculators like this are a good place to start if you are new to solar energy and want to understand the basic cost model."

"The Department of Energy has a guide for how to assess your home. You can also consider a checklist from the solar consumer website SolarReviews."

"Your home's orientation toward the sun, the amount of shade and its roof type also affect a solar system's output. You can estimate the efficiency of panels on your home by using the SolarReviews calculator."

"Extreme weather events across the U.S. — from wildfires and drought in the West, to deep freezes and floods in the South and Southeast — have disrupted the electric grid this year. As a result, homeowners are buying solar and energy storage systems at rates never before seen, according to data from solar website SolarReviews.com."

"As insurance companies shift towards automation and technology to cut costs, this 'puts all homeowners at risk, not just those with solar panels,' says Catherine Lane, a solar industry expert at SolarReviews.com."

"You can also expand most RV solar panel systems with additional panels if you need more power. 'If you're looking to only power a few small devices, you won't need an expensive, intricate setup,' says SolarReviews researcher and expert Jamie Smith."

"Most experts ... suggest finding [a solar company] that’s been in business in your community for years. A lot of these installers survive on word-of-mouth advertising, so ask neighbors and friends who already have solar panels for recommendations. You also can check rating sites such as Solar Reviews, where President and CEO Andrew Sendy is accustomed to doling out advice for finding a good installer."

"Nearly a dozen Texas families are seeking compensation from a Houston-based solar company (Sunnova) due to concerns about predatory business practices... The I-Team found mixed ratings for Sunnova online. The Better Business Bureau gives it a "C" grade. Solar Reviews gives it a 2.28 out of 5. EnergySage did give it a 5."
