We shop solar for you, then give it to you straight.
Think mortgage broker, but for solar. We compare solar companies and programs for your home. Start with your bill, and we’ll give you honest numbers, including when the answer is no.
Most homes have a high season. That’s where we look first.
What solar changesPanels make power during the day, so you buy less of it from PG&E. How much less depends on your roof, shade and habits.
What it doesn’tYou stay connected to the grid and still get a utility bill. Anyone promising no bill at all is guessing.
Illustration only, built from a typical seasonal pattern. Your quote uses your real bills. Actual savings vary by usage, location, roof and financing.

Why we started
I started in solar at a door-to-door company, where the promises often didn’t match what homeowners got.
- “It’ll cover your whole bill.”The truth: It covers what your roof can make. You still stay connected to the utility.
- “You’ll have power when the grid goes down.”The truth: Most solar systems shut off in an outage unless you add a battery.
SunGenius HQ is the plain truth instead. Even after all of that, I still believe in solar. I think most homeowners should make the switch, as long as they get the truth first. We shop the solar companies and programs, line up the options that fit, and walk you through them. If none make sense, we say so.
Three things worth knowing before you talk to anyone.
Each one has a source, so you can check it yourself.
Solar homes sold for more
In a Zillow analysis, homes with solar sold for about 4.1% more on average than similar homes without it. Owned systems tend to add the most value.

Panels are built to last
Most panels carry 25-year performance warranties and keep producing after that. There are no moving parts to wear out.

The sun sends plenty
More sunlight reaches Earth in one hour than the whole world uses in a year. Panels catch a small slice of what already lands on your roof.
