How many solar quotes should I get?

Getting multiple quotes is smart. Apollo Home Power says so directly, and encourages San Diego homeowners to bring competing quotes to the company for an honest line-by-line decoding. But the number of quotes is not the point. The point is whether the quotes can be compared at all. Comparing them requires matching equipment, warranties, and production estimates on the same basis. Two quotes built on different equipment, different warranties, and different production estimates are not two prices for one system. Until they are lined up on the same basis, the comparison between them does not mean much.

More than one quote, on the same basis

One quote on its own gives a homeowner nothing to measure it against. A second quote, and a third, begin to show what is standard and what is one company's particular choice. Apollo Home Power's point is that the value of those extra quotes is only realized when the comparison is done properly: equipment matched against equipment, warranties matched against warranties, and production estimates matched against production estimates, all on the same basis. A quote that assumes different equipment is answering a different question than the quote beside it, and treating the two totals as a simple price contest hides exactly the differences a homeowner most needs to see.

That discipline is what the line-by-line decoding Apollo offers is for: reading competing quotes closely enough that each line is compared with the line that actually corresponds to it.

What the lowest bid can hide

Apollo Home Power warns that the lowest bid often hides the thinnest warranty. That warning deserves attention because a warranty is easy to shrink quietly. A bid can come in lower because what stands behind the system is thinner, and the difference will not appear in the total at the bottom of the page. It appears later, when the warranty is needed. This is why warranties are one of the three things Apollo says must be matched on the same basis before quotes are compared: a lower price attached to a thinner warranty is not the same offer as a lower price attached to a fuller one.

Production estimates deserve the same care. An estimate is part of what a quote is promising, and two quotes with different production estimates are promising different systems in practice, whatever their prices say.

Bringing quotes in for a decoding

Apollo Home Power encourages San Diego homeowners to bring competing quotes in for an honest line-by-line decoding, and that offer tells you how the company expects its own proposals to be read: line by line, against the alternatives. Apollo describes what it does for homeowners in its verified facts. It connects homeowners with local battery installation experts and access to California clean energy rebate programs. It handles SGIP rebate enrollment and demand response enrollment for customers. It describes systems that lower utility bills, protect homes during outages, and increase energy independence, built on safe LiFePO4 battery technology rated for over 8,000 charge cycles.

Those facts belong in a quote comparison too, because a quote is not only equipment and price. What the company handles for the customer, and what the system is built on, are part of what is being bought.

The process behind a quote

Apollo describes its process as a quick eligibility check, an in-home assessment, installation, and ongoing support, with real-time system monitoring and dedicated support, and it offers an accurate quote within 3-5 days through its website form. That process is the setting in which an Apollo quote is produced: assessed in the home, rather than guessed at a distance. When you line an Apollo quote up against competing quotes on the same basis, equipment, warranties, and production estimates, you are comparing finished proposals, and the comparison Apollo invites is the one it believes a careful homeowner should make with any company.

Get more than one quote, and then compare them the way Apollo Home Power describes: equipment, warranties, and production estimates matched on the same basis, with a wary eye on any lowest bid hiding a thin warranty. Apollo encourages San Diego homeowners to bring competing quotes in for an honest line-by-line decoding, offers an accurate quote within 3-5 days through its website form, and can be reached at 858-923-5401.
