SCE quote review

Already have a solar quote? Review the assumptions before you sign.

A solar quote can look clean while still missing the parts that matter most: your actual SCE bill, rate plan, export-credit assumptions, battery logic, financing terms, and whether the appointment should happen at all.

Review points

What a quote review should check

The goal is not to nitpick the quote. The goal is to see whether the proposal is grounded in your bill or built on generic assumptions.

Bill assumptions

Was the actual SCE bill reviewed, or did the quote rely on a rough monthly bill number?

Battery assumptions

Does the quote explain whether battery storage is optional, important, or unnecessary for your situation?

Export-credit assumptions

Does the quote account for how exported solar energy is credited under the SCE Solar Billing Plan?

Review points

What should make you slow down

A quote does not have to be perfect, but vague savings claims should not be enough to schedule or sign.

Instant savings claims

Be careful when the quote promises savings before reviewing your real usage and rate context.

No bill-first review

A quote that skips the bill may miss the most important information.

No battery explanation

If the battery is included or excluded, there should be a clear reason.

Next step

Use the bill review to keep the next step grounded.

A recent SCE bill is not required to start. It is required before an appointment is scheduled, so the review can move beyond broad assumptions and avoid a fake instant quote.
