Field notes
The homepage sequences options from cancelling a recently signed contract and reducing usage to sizing a system and choosing an installer. Its tool list includes panel sizing, state net-metering rules, cost ranges keyed to system size, roof complexity and state, and a resource on cancelling contracts signed at home. The cash/loan/lease/PPA guide and the page for people whose installer has disappeared are marked “Coming,” so not all listed coverage is presented as complete.
