Not ready for a form? Just text us — no sales pitch, no pressure
You don't have to hand over your name, address, and phone number just to ask a question about solar. Now you can text SolarChekr directly, or use the chat button on our site, and get a real answer from a real person.
Most solar sites make you fill out a full qualification form before you can ask anything — name, address, phone number, all before you know if they'll even give you a straight answer. We built a simpler way to start: just ask.
Two ways to reach us without filling out anything
If you see the green chat bubble in the corner of solarchekr.com, click it. Type your question and leave your number, and we'll text you back — no form, no address required upfront.
Prefer to skip the site entirely? Text (202) 900-0932 directly with whatever's on your mind — "is free solar actually free," "what's the catch with a PPA," "how much would I save" — anything.
Common questions get an instant answer pulled word-for-word from what's already published on this site — no AI making things up. Anything more specific comes straight to Indre's phone and gets a personal reply, usually within an hour during business hours.
Why we built it this way
A lot of DC homeowners aren't ready to book a call or fill out a full form the first time they're curious about solar. They just want a straight answer before they commit to anything. Texting is lower-pressure than a phone call and faster than email — so that's what we made available.
Things people have already asked us this way:
- Is free solar in DC actually real, or is it a scam?
- What's the real difference between a PPA and a solar loan?
- How much could I realistically save on my Pepco bill?
- What happens to my solar if I sell my house?
What's worth a text, and what really needs a call
Some solar questions have a short, factual answer. Others genuinely depend on your specific roof, your shading, and how much electricity you actually use — and anyone who answers those over text is guessing.
Good things to text:
- "I got a quote from another company — does this rate look normal for DC?"
- "Is this company legit, or is this a scam?"
- "My Pepco bill jumped this month — is that normal?"
- "Do I need to replace my roof before I can get solar?"
- "What happens to the panels if I sell my house?"
Here's an example of the kind of straight answer you'll get: even with a 0¢ PPA covering your electricity, Pepco's mandatory customer charge of roughly $22 a month stays on your bill. Your bill goes down substantially — it does not go to zero. Any company telling you otherwise is overselling, and that's exactly the sort of thing worth checking before you sign.
Things that need an actual conversation: what you'd really save, whether your home qualifies for a 0¢ rate or a higher one, and anything involving reviewing a contract you've been handed. Those depend on your roof, your electrical panel, and your usage — so we look at them together on a call, not over text.
No question is too basic, and there's no obligation to move forward with anything after you ask. If you decide you're ready for a full analysis, we can pick up right where the text conversation left off.
