How SolarSight Works
From your address to a data-backed Solar Pre-Qualification in under two minutes.
The Three-Step Process
No site visit. No account creation. No sales call unless you want one.
Enter Your Address
You type in your property address. That's it. No account creation. No form filling. SolarSight immediately pulls your roof geometry, orientation, shading profile, and local solar irradiance data from Google Solar API and Nearmap's high-resolution aerial imagery.
Behind the scenes, we also pull your local utility context using EIA Form 861 data, so your savings estimate reflects real energy pricing in your area — not a national average.
SolarSight Builds Your Pre-Qualification
In under two minutes, SolarSight processes your property data and generates a Solar Pre-Qualification report. This is not a quote and it is not a commitment. It is a data-backed starting point that gives you the financial picture before you engage with anyone.
Your report includes an estimated annual electricity savings in dollar terms, a solar suitability rating for your roof, an estimated system size appropriate for your property, and your local utility context and how it affects your savings potential.
Receive Your Report and Decide
Your pre-qualification report is delivered to your email. You can review it at your own pace. If the numbers make sense and you want to go further, a solar advisor is available to discuss next steps. If the numbers do not make sense for your situation, we will tell you that too.
No pressure. No follow-up sales calls unless you ask for them.
What Powers Your Pre-Qualification
Three verified, reputable data sources — combined into one assessment built for your specific property.
Google Solar API
Google's Solar API uses aerial imagery and machine learning to assess solar potential at the rooftop level. It factors in roof size, pitch, orientation, shading, and local solar irradiance patterns. It is the same data layer used by major solar installers and energy companies across the US.
Nearmap Aerial Imagery
Nearmap provides high-resolution aerial photography updated regularly across the US. SolarSight uses this to validate and refine roof geometry data, ensuring your pre-qualification reflects your actual property — not a generic assumption.
EIA Form 861 Data
The US Energy Information Administration's Form 861 provides detailed data on electricity sales, revenue, and pricing by utility. This means your savings estimate is based on the real cost of electricity in your specific area, not a national average or a salesperson's ballpark.
SolarSight's Assessment Engine
These three data sources are combined by SolarSight's assessment engine to produce a pre-qualification that is specific to your address, your roof, your utility, and your market. Under two minutes from input to result.
What Your Pre-Qualification Includes
We believe you should know exactly what you are getting — and what you are not.
- Estimated annual dollar savings specific to your property
- Solar suitability assessment for your roof
- Estimated system size recommendation
- Local utility context factored into the estimate
- A report delivered to your inbox to review at your pace
- A formal solar quote (that requires a site visit and licensed installer)
- A binding commitment of any kind
- A sales process trigger — we don't pass your details to installers unless you ask
- A guarantee of savings — actual performance depends on installation, usage, and rate changes
