Take the first step toward solar savings

By Dani Sheehan. 

Know what you’re paying for, think about long-term savings and get connected with trusted contractors when you use these solar cost calculators. 

Thinking about going solar? Whether you’re drawn to the sleek look of a solar roof or the proven performance of traditional solar panels, investing in solar energy starts with understanding your options and the potential costs. Instant Roofer makes the first step simple with two online cost calculators that estimate the cost of both solar panels and solar-integrated roofing systems based on your address and roof size. 

Instant Roofer’s calculators, Solar Panel Cost Calculator and a Tesla Solar Roof Calculator, break down average installation costs so you can compare the up-front investment of each option. A standard solar panel system is typically less expensive to install and easier to add to an existing roof, while a full solar roof integrates energy generation into every shingle, which might be perfect if your roof already needs replacing. Knowing these differences early helps you budget realistically and plan for long-term savings. 

Before you go solar, assess your home’s unique conditions. Instant Roofer’s cost calculator takes into consideration roof orientation, pitch and the amount of shade on the roof, as each of these factors can impact performance and efficiency. You’ll also want to know your average electricity use to size your system correctly. Instant Roofer’s tools help translate your current energy costs into estimated energy output and potential savings over time by adding solar. 

Solar is an investment in your home’s future. Both the solar panel and solar roof calculators provide insights into expected lifespan, maintenance needs and warranty coverage to give you a clearer picture of how solar can increase your home’s value and reduce energy costs for decades to come. 

Once you’ve explored your solar options, Instant Roofer takes the next step for you. The platform connects you directly with qualified, vetted roofing contractors in your area – professionals experienced in both traditional and solar installations. That means your estimate can quickly become a reality, backed by experts who know how to design and deliver a high-quality solar solution that fits your home.
