For homeowners
Residential solar, designed for the roof you actually have
Quest Solar designs and installs home solar on pitched, flat, steep and older roofs — and handles the engineering, permits, utility interconnection and incentive paperwork with one family-owned team.
Why residential solar with Quest
Lower, more predictable bills
A right-sized system offsets the electricity you buy from the utility. We size from your actual usage and roof, not a generic package.
Designed around real roofs
Multiple planes, dormers, low slopes, flat roofs and shading are common in our region. Layouts are engineered for your structure and local fire-code setbacks.
One accountable team
The same family-owned company handles the site visit, design, permits, installation, inspection and utility sign-off — and is the number you call afterwards.
Ready for what comes next
We plan conduit, inverter and panel capacity so adding a battery, heat pump or EV charger later is straightforward.
How the process works
Roof, panel and bill review
We look at your roof condition, electrical panel, shading and 12 months of usage, and tell you plainly whether solar makes sense.
Design and proposal
You get a layout, production estimate, equipment list and a proposal that shows only incentives your project is expected to qualify for.
Permits and utility paperwork
Engineering, building permits, utility interconnection and incentive applications are prepared and filed for you.
Installation
On-site installation for a typical home takes one to two days.
Inspection and permission to operate
Approvals can take 1–6 months depending on your town and utility. We manage inspections and the utility process until your system is switched on.

Where we install
Frequently asked questions
Is there still a 30% federal tax credit for home solar?
No. The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for expenditures after December 31, 2025, so we do not include it in 2026 proposals. State and utility programs may still apply depending on where you live — your proposal shows only programs your project is expected to qualify for.
How long does a home solar project take?
Installation usually takes one to two days on site. Design, permits, inspections and utility approval typically take 1–6 months in total, depending on your town and utility.
What is the SolarInsure SI-30 warranty?
SI-30 is a 30-year limited warranty from Solar Insure for qualifying systems enrolled by a certified provider. Coverage depends on enrollment, an issued warranty certificate, approved equipment and keeping your system connected to the internet with monitoring enabled. It does not guarantee power output and excludes roof leaks and workmanship. Read the official terms before you decide.
Can you install on a flat roof or an older roof?
Often, yes. Flat roofs use ballasted or attached racking, and older roofs may need repairs or replacement first. We tell you honestly if the roof should be addressed before solar.
Do I need a battery?
Not necessarily. A battery adds backup power during outages and can help with time-of-use rates. We size solar first and show the battery as an option if it fits your goals.
