Check the assumptions before you sign.

Solar Sense With Trent is built for homeowners who want to compare solar proposals calmly before signing. Use this page to organize the questions, documents, and source checks that make a solar conversation clearer.

What to gather

Before comparing proposals, collect the materials that shape the solar conversation.

Recent electric bills
Current rate-plan information
Roof age and known roof constraints
Solar proposal documents
Cash price and financed price, if shown
Battery load list, if backup is part of the conversation
Warranty and exclusion language
Source dates for current claims

Five first questions

Use these before treating any single number as the full story.

What does the quote assume?

Look for system size, equipment list, production estimate, cash price, financed price, exclusions, coverage language, and the assumptions behind the numbers.

What does the bill math depend on?

Bill math can depend on usage, utility rules, rate-plan details, fees, timing, financing, ownership, and source dates.

Is the roof ready first?

Ask about roof age, shade, usable roof area, access, electrical work, structural concerns, and what work is included or excluded.

What loads would a battery support?

Start with the load list. Identify what you want to power, how long backup matters, and what limits apply.

Use this site as a question list, then verify details with the relevant installer, utility, program source, product manufacturer, or qualified professional.
