Solar Signals

Your home is the outlet. Here's what plugs in.

Each step adds a machine that runs on electricity. A home with its own panels and battery is ready for every one of them.

Today
Power the home
Lights, AC, well pump. Cut the bill, or skip the power line entirely.
Next
Fuel your cars from your roof
Two gas cars become two EVs. Stop buying gas. One day, they may drive for others while you sleep.
The future
Charge your robots
One robot helps at home. One may work for others, around the clock. Both run on your sun.

Robotaxi and robot-for-hire income isn't available to owners yet. We show it so you can see what's coming, with the math and the fine print, in Numbers 2 and 3.

Who it's for

The best fit is a property where power from the utility is missing, expensive to bring in, or unreliable. That's where a kit pays for itself fastest.

No power lines

Off-grid land and cabins

When the utility wants tens of thousands to run a line out, a kit can cost less than the hookup on day one.

Many units

RV parks, glamping and lodges

Cabins, bathhouses, pumps and guest EV charging, without a generator running all night.

Remote loads

Ranches, farms and vineyards

Well pumps, gates, barns and lighting far from the nearest pole.

High rates

California homes

California pays some of the highest power prices in the country, so solar pays back much faster here than in Arizona or Nevada.

Real numbers, including the slow ones

Same example kit everywhere: 5.4 kW of panels, about $9,200 for the kit plus $3,000 to install, no incentives (the federal homeowner tax credit ended after 2025). Average home rates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, March 2026.

~17 yearsArizona home on the grid

~19 yearsNevada home on the grid

If you're on the grid in Arizona or Nevada, we'll tell you plainly that the money case is slow. The strong reasons there are independence, backup and land without power. Estimates only; your site, shade and use will change them.

Run your numbers: today, next, and the future

Pick a scenario. Each one adds to your property's power needs, and shows what it takes for your own solar to cover them. Plain arithmetic on what you enter. Nothing here is a promise.

For builders: put power in the package

Your buyers bought land past the power lines. Handing them a ready-to-install solar and battery kit with the cabin or tiny home answers their first question before they ask it.

We size a kit for each model you build.
Your buyer orders it directly from the maker. No inventory for you.
You keep building; we handle the comparisons and paperwork.
