What We Evaluate for Your Solar Quote
A useful solar quote should account for more than the number of panels that fit on a roof. EL-FI Homes evaluates the information available about the home, electricity consumption and future energy plans before preparing a preliminary recommendation.
- Recent electricity usage and seasonal consumption
- Available and usable roof area
- Roof orientation, pitch and visible shading conditions
- Preliminary solar-system size
- Solar-panel and inverter options
- Interest in battery storage or backup power
- Future EV-charging requirements
- Future heat-pump or electric-appliance loads
- Existing electrical-panel capacity
- Possible main-panel or subpanel requirements
- Local permit and utility-interconnection requirements

How the Solar Quote Process Works
- STEP 1
Tell Us About the Property
Enter the property ZIP code and provide the address, electricity-use and project information requested by the quote form.
- STEP 2
We Review the Home and Energy Use
EL-FI Homes reviews the available roof information, electricity consumption and the homeowner’s energy goals.
- STEP 3
We Discuss Solar and Battery Options
A member of the EL-FI team may contact the homeowner to clarify solar, battery-backup, EV-charging or home-electrification priorities.
- STEP 4
We Verify the Property
A site assessment may be required to confirm roof, structural, electrical, equipment-placement and installation conditions.
- STEP 5
We Prepare the Final Proposal
Final equipment, scope and pricing are based on verified property information and the options selected by the homeowner.
What Can Affect the Cost of a Solar Project?
Homes with similar electricity bills can require different solar designs. Final pricing depends on the actual system design and installation conditions.
- Required solar-system capacity
- Solar-panel and inverter selection
- Roof type and condition
- Roof pitch and installation access
- Shading and usable roof space
- Battery size and configuration
- Backup-power requirements
- Electrical-panel capacity
- Main-panel or subpanel work
- Conduit routing and trenching
- Permit and utility requirements
- Structural or roofing work identified during the assessment
Plan Solar Around the Rest of Your Home
Solar can be more useful when it is designed around the home’s present and future electrical requirements. A homeowner planning to add battery storage, an electric vehicle, a heat pump or other major electrical equipment may need a different solar and electrical design than a homeowner planning around current electricity usage alone.
EL-FI Homes provides solar, battery, electrical, EV-charging and HVAC services. This allows related equipment and electrical-capacity requirements to be considered together.
