Synopsis

A solar quote almost always lands in your inbox in the evening, as a six-page attachment with a final number at the bottom that's meant to make an impression. Inside: abbreviations, wattages, brand names you've never heard of — and a savings promise that reads like it was written specifically to convince you.
This book isn't trying to convince you of anything. It's here to put you in a position to ask the right questions — of yourself, before you ever call an installer — so that solar actually pays you back, instead of becoming a handsome rooftop fixture that only breaks even after twenty years.
Across thirteen chapters, written for the person who has to decide rather than the person who has to design, you'll find:
· how to tell whether solar makes sense for your home, before you call anyone;
· how to read a quote line by line and recognize the inflated items;
· when a battery genuinely pays for itself, and when it's just an extra cost;
· how incentives and tax breaks generally work, and the questions to ask about your own country's rules;
· the promises to run from — door-to-door sales, «zero bill» claims, financing tied to the sale;
· what to check on installation day and at commissioning;
· how to set up cleaning and maintenance so the system keeps working well for thirty years.
There's also room for the electric car as extra storage, balcony systems and solar pergolas for anyone without a roof of their own, and four real-world case studies — from the detached house to the apartment in a shared building — to help you recognize your own situation between the lines.
An honest guide for the person who has to decide: no unnecessary jargon, none of a salesperson's enthusiasm, one single goal — to actually save you money, on your bill and in choosing the right installer.
