No. 01 · The method

An honest first pass, before any installer ever calls.

Most solar companies start with a sales pitch. Ashlr Solar starts with the math — your roof, your bill, and what the federal credit actually leaves you with. If solar isn't a fit for your home, we'll tell you that, too.

  1. 01

    Read your roof

    We pull aerial imagery, sun-hours, and shading for your exact address from Google's Solar API — no truck-roll, no guesswork.

  2. 02

    Model your savings

    Federal 30% credit, Dominion or co-op rates, and NREL PVWatts production combine into a year-one savings range you can defend.

  3. 03

    Check your battery fit

    Resilience motivation, roof confidence, and outage history score your battery sizing — before anyone tries to upsell you on storage.

  4. 04

    Match a Virginia installer

    Only installers we've vetted on licensing, reviews, and capacity see your opportunity — never a national call center.

  5. 05

    Stay in your inbox

    A clean follow-up arrives by email so you can review the numbers with your partner before scheduling anything.

  6. 06

    You stay in control

    We never sell your contact info. Decline the installer match and we move on — or come back any time.

No. 02 · The math

Numbers you can hand to your accountant.

Every estimate uses the same public datasets engineers use to size real systems. No inflated savings, no “up to” asterisks, no credit-pull required.

No. 03 · Common questions

What homeowners ask before they trust the numbers.

Is the report actually free?

Yes — and we don't pull your credit. Installers pay us a per-lead fee only if you accept their match, so the homeowner side stays free and unconditional.

How accurate are the savings numbers?

Production is modeled with NREL PVWatts v8 — the engineering model used to underwrite real solar systems. Roof potential comes from Google Solar imagery when available. We use a $0.145/kWh Virginia blended rate and a 30% federal credit assumption, both adjustable in your final installer quote.

Will I get hammered with sales calls?

Only one installer ever sees your match, and only if you reach a qualifying score. We don't resell contact info, and you can decline a match in one reply.

Why Virginia only?

Solar economics are extremely state-specific. Net metering, rebates, utility tariffs, and installer quality vary enormously. We chose to be excellent in one state — yours — instead of mediocre in fifty.

What about HOAs and historic districts?

Virginia state law (Code § 67-701) protects most homeowners from blanket HOA bans on solar. Historic districts have their own review process — your matched installer handles that filing for you.

Can I get a battery without solar?

We focus on solar-paired storage because the federal credit only applies when the battery is charged primarily by solar. If you want a backup-only battery, we'll point you to a partner.

Ready when you are.

Three minutes for the report. A single installer match if you qualify. No commitment, ever, until the day you sign with someone you've met.
