Advisory services

Independent help, from someone who does not sell solar.

Fixed fees, stated up front. A written deliverable every time except the hourly call, where the conversation is the point. No equipment sold, no installer commissions, and the terms published in full before you pay.

Before you sign Review My Proposal You have a proposal and you have not signed yet. Every line read, every fee named, a written recommendation. Three tiers depending on how much paperwork there is and how many quotes you are comparing. From $149See details When the installer is gone Solar Help Desk Your installer is gone, unresponsive, or your system looks wrong. Work out what you still own, which warranties survive, and what to do in what order. Or find out whether a production shortfall is weather, shading, or a fault. From $97See details You already have solar Ongoing Advisory You already have solar and one specific question. Rate plans, battery additions, EV charging, a confusing true-up bill, selling the house. One question, answered in writing. $75See details Talk it through Hourly Consultation The question is too tangled to write down. An hour by video, at a time you pick. Payment and booking happen together. Good when you do not yet know what you need. $175/hrSee details

Not sure which one

Say what is going on in two lines to advisory@theinstallersview.com and we will point you at the right one, or tell you that you do not need us. That answer is free and it is often the honest one.

What every engagement has in common

A fixed fee

Stated before you buy. No hourly creep on the fixed-scope services, and no invoice afterward.

A realistic timeline

Confirmed before work starts, based on what you sent. We do not promise a turnaround we cannot honour.

Something in writing

A document you keep and can hand to anyone. The exception is the hourly call, which is a conversation by design.

No stake in your decision

We do not sell, install or finance equipment, and we take no commission from any installer whose work we review.

What is never included

No site visits, roof climbs or physical inspections. We are not electrical contractors and do not certify code compliance. No legal, tax or financial advice, and no role in a dispute as an expert or third party. If your situation needs any of those, we will say so rather than sell you something adjacent.

Terms are in the Engagement Agreement. Cancellations and refunds in the Refund Policy. Both published in full, before you pay, because a practice that tells you to read the contract should show you its own.
