Resident Solar Power exists to cut through the noise in the solar industry. If you’ve ever tried researching residential solar installers online, you know what we mean – half the information is sales pitches, the other half is so technical it’s basically useless for regular homeowners.
We’re a team of solar enthusiasts and researchers who think going solar shouldn’t be this complicated.
Our team includes people who've analyzed energy policy and spent years researching installers. We're not just aggregating Google results. When we write about solar, it's based on real experience, not a quick Wikipedia skim.
We don't get paid by installers to rank them higher. We don't accept money for positive reviews. If a company is great, we say so. If they're problematic, we say that too. Our income doesn't depend on making any specific installer look good, which means we can actually be honest about what we find.
We cover everything from "what the heck is a kilowatt-hour" to "how to read a solar contract without a law degree." Panel types, inverter options, financing structures, local incentives, installer red flags - it's all here. Whether you're just starting to think about a home solar system or you're ready to sign a contract, we've got the information you need at that stage.
A great residential solar installer in California might not even operate in Texas. State incentives vary wildly. That's why our recommendations are location-specific - we show you residential solar installers who actually work in your area, explain the incentives available in your state, and account for local factors that affect your solar setup. Because generic national recommendations are basically useless when you're trying to make a real decision.

You know how annoying it is to find a "best of" list from three years ago? Yeah, we hate that too. We're constantly refreshing our residential solar installer lists - adding new companies that are crushing it, removing ones that aren't, updating the ones that have changed. States, cities, whatever. The goal is simple: when you look at our lists, you're seeing who's actually reliable right now.
Most residential solar installation reviews online are either paid placements or just star ratings with zero context. Ours aren't. We dig into the stuff that actually affects your experience - installation quality, whether they stick to timelines, how they handle problems (because problems happen), and if their pricing makes sense. If an installer has issues, we say so. If they're great, we say that too. It's really that straightforward.
Solar can get confusing really fast - all the technical terms, the financial math, the constantly changing incentives. It's a lot. We write articles and guides that cut through that noise and explain things in plain English. Think of it like having a knowledgeable friend walk you through it over lunch. Basic concepts? Covered. Advanced tech? We've got that too. All explained without making you feel like you need an engineering degree.
Your situation isn't the same as your neighbor's. Different roof, different energy bills, different budget, different priorities. So why would a one-size-fits-all solar quote make any sense? We provide personalized residential solar quotes that actually reflect your specific situation - what you need, what you can afford, and what makes sense for your home.
