How it works

How HyreSolar works

Six steps, and you can stop at any of them. The first four are yours alone and need no email address. Asking to be put in touch with a solar professional is a separate choice.

Last updated

What this is not. HyreSolar does not install, finance or service solar, gives no instant quotes, and takes no cut of any job. We publish no count of participating companies, and the commercial terms are not settled.

What happens at each step?

  1. Research. Start with the library, solar services or solar by property type. Nothing is gated. You act.
  2. Understand and calculate. How solar works explains the four numbers that decide the answer: consumption, roof, retail rate, export terms. The calculators take your own numbers and show their formulas. You act.
  3. Compare and verify. Loan or lease, string inverter or microinverters, and the company itself. How to choose an installer sets out what to check. You act.
  4. Ask. If you want to hear from a professional, tell us about your home and give consent as its own step. You act.
  5. Match. A person checks the request and matches it on service area, the work described and property type. If no company covers it, you are told. HyreSolar acts.
  6. Decide. A professional contacts you; you compare proposals and contract directly. HyreSolar is not a party to that contract and has no role in the work. You and the professional act.

Why does the vocabulary matter before you ask?

Solar comes with terms that make comparison hard: net metering against net billing, dealer fee against cash price, production guarantee against workmanship warranty against product warranty.

A homeowner who knows those differences is harder to sell a bad contract. The solar FAQ defines them in plain terms, and solar financing covers the money side.

What does HyreSolar check about a company?

HyreSolar checks a company against public records before passing it any homeowner’s request: business identity, licensing where required, insurance, published complaint records and operating history. How we vet lists each check and what we do not check. Verification is not endorsement.

Questions people ask

What happens after I submit a request?
A person checks the request is complete and whether a solar professional covers your area and the work you described. If one does, your details are passed on, as you agreed. If none does, we tell you so instead of holding your details indefinitely.
Who will contact me?
A solar professional serving your area, using the contact details and the method you consented to. HyreSolar sells no solar, so nobody from HyreSolar will call to sell you a system.
How is my information used?
To match your request with a solar professional who serves your area and to respond to you. It is not sold to data brokers or advertising networks. The privacy policy sets out retention and your rights in full.
Does HyreSolar get paid for introductions?
That is the intended business model: solar professionals pay to receive homeowner requests. The pricing and routing terms are not settled. Payment never buys editorial coverage or a recommendation.
Does HyreSolar recommend one particular installer?
No. We do not rank solar companies or name a best one, because we have no documented method that would support it. We tell you what to check, and you decide.
What does HyreSolar not guarantee?
That you will be contacted, how quickly, how many companies respond, what they quote, that any incentive applies to you, or that solar will save you money. Those depend on your roof, your utility, your tax position and the companies working in your area.
