Home System Mounting Types
Mounting Types:

-Fixed Ground Mounted
While roof mounted systems are most common and the less costly option, ground mounts can be a great fit for many with the lot to accommodate.
Roof Pitch
The more steep your roof, depending on where in the country you're located, the less sunhours your system will get requiring more panels for the same output as the same roof with lesser pitch. Additionally, steep pitches require additional safety precautions adding time and cost to the project.
Roof Shading & Orientation
It is hard to produce power for your home with solar if you have trees blocking the sun. Likewise if your only placement option for solar is on a north or north east then it can be prohibitive because these orientations will result in much lower system production and energy generation from solar
Roof Condition
If your roof is damaged, leaking or over 15 years in age the installer will require a partial or full roof upgrade as a part of the project. These installers have massive volume discounts with top local companies and can include this work in your solar project. Again, great value add if you need a roof.
Equipment Selection
Like any product there are numerous options for you to choose from when it comes to solar equipment. Toyota or Lexus? Both are great, but one carries a fancier name, marginally better features and a higher price tag. Maybe you're a Ferrari guy... You get the point

Payment Plan Or Program
Financing, leasing or purchasing solar for cash will factor into your quote. Typically, for the lowest total cost you would pay is with cash,. The lowest total monthly payment, lease. Highest ROI, financing

These bulbs are more expensive than traditional bulbs, but they last much longer and can significantly reduce your home's energy costs, which makes them a good investment.
