What does the website do, and what does it leave to others?
The website finds your market from your ZIP code, sets out that market's rules for home solar with their sources, and gives you a way to read installer quotes line by line. Designing, installing and servicing a system belongs to the installer you choose. Solar is a big decision, and the first steps are reading, not signing; the website is built for those steps.
What the website does
- Finds your market. Your ZIP code is matched to a market. The website does not use your location, and every visitor sees the same page.
- Sets out your market's rules. Net metering, the steps to connect a system and how to look up an installer, each with its source and check date.
- Gives you the tools to read quotes. A checklist, a blank table and a worked example with made-up numbers. How to compare solar quotes
What it is not
- Not an installer. It does not design, install or service solar systems.
- Not a utility or a government agency. It does not bill you, connect your system or set any of the rules it reports.
- Installer partners only. A comparison does not cover every installer. If another installer sends you a quote, add a column to the blank table and read it the same way. What an installer partner is
Where does My Solar Brokers work?
My Solar Brokers works in two markets: Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Each has its own public agency overseeing its electric utilities and its own rules for the power you send back to the grid.
| Market | Agency | What the agency oversees | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pennsylvania | Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission | 11 electric distribution companies, among them PECO Energy, PPL Electric Utilities and Duquesne Light. | Pennsylvania guide |
| New Jersey | New Jersey Board of Public Utilities | Regulated utilities, which provide services such as natural gas, electricity, water, telecommunications and cable television. | New Jersey guide |
Source: Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Electric Companies and Suppliers (undated); New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, About (undated). Checked 9 Oct 2026.
Rules for the power you send back differ from market to market, which is why each market has its own guide and the rest of the site reads the same everywhere.
Source: Pennsylvania Code and Bulletin, 52 Pa. Code 75.13(d), which has a utility credit your system's output at the full retail rate (code current through 8 Aug 2026); New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, notice in Docket QO24090723 (8 Nov 2024). Checked 9 Oct 2026.
Where do the facts on this site come from?
Every fact comes from a named public source, such as a law or regulation, a utility tariff, a regulator, a federal agency or a national laboratory. Pages from installers, lenders and other sites that sell solar can point to a source, but they never carry a fact on their own.
| Kind of source | What it settles | Examples on the site |
|---|---|---|
| Law and regulation | What the law requires. | Pennsylvania: 52 Pa. Code 75.13, net metering (code current through 8 Aug 2026). New Jersey: the Board of Public Utilities notice in Docket QO24090723 (8 Nov 2024), which cites the net metering statute, N.J.S.A. 48:3-87. |
| Utility tariff | How a utility applies a rule to your bill. | PECO Energy Company, Electric Service Tariff, Rate RS-2 (Supplement 24, effective 1 Apr 2026). PPL Electric Utilities, Tariff, First Revised Page 21B (Supplement 2, effective 1 Jul 2026). |
| Regulator or state agency | Who oversees a utility, and what you can look up yourself. | Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Electric Companies and Suppliers (undated). Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, Home Improvement Contractor Registration (undated). |
| Federal agency | National rules and consumer guidance. | Internal Revenue Service, "Residential Clean Energy Credit" (page updated 4 Jul 2026). Federal Trade Commission, "Solar Power for Your Home" (April 2022). U.S. Department of Energy, "Homeowner's Guide to Solar" (page updated 15 May 2026). |
| National laboratory | Measured data and calculation tools. | National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR, formerly NREL), PVWatts (undated), whose own caution says its predictions include many assumptions and uncertainties. |
Source: Each document linked in the table. Dates are the publishers' own, and a source that prints no date is marked undated. Checked 9 Oct 2026.
When two sources read differently, the page prints each in its own words and names the document, so you can see where they differ. The tables in the market guides work this way. All sources, by market
How do you read a source line?
A source line names the publisher, the document, the publisher's own date and the day a person checked it. Here is one from the site, taken apart.
The Internal Revenue Service says the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for property placed in service after 31 December 2025.
Source: Internal Revenue Service, "Residential Clean Energy Credit" (page updated 4 Jul 2026). Checked 9 Oct 2026.
| Part | What it tells you | In the example |
|---|---|---|
| Publisher | Who wrote the document. | Internal Revenue Service |
| Document | The page, rule or tariff to open. | "Residential Clean Energy Credit" |
| Source date | When the publisher wrote or last updated it. A source that prints no date is marked undated. | Page updated 4 Jul 2026 |
| Checked | The day a person reopened the source and compared it with the sentence on the site. | 9 Oct 2026 |
How is a page checked before it carries a date?
A person reopens every source on the page, compares each sentence with it, and only then types the Facts checked date. Software never generates the date.
-
Draft the page from its sources
A page is drafted from its sources. Software helps with the drafting; it does not check the result.
-
Check each sentence against its source
A person reopens each source and reads its sentence next to the page's. A sentence that does not match is rewritten or removed.
-
Type the Facts checked date
A person enters the date once the check is done, and it appears under the page title.
-
Flag what is changing
On a market guide, a deadline, a closing date or an open proceeding is listed with its date in a "What is changing" table.
The same check is open to you: follow the source link and read its sentence next to the site's. How facts are sourced, dated and corrected
Why does the site show sources and not scores?
Every line on the site has to trace to a document you can open. An installer scoreboard or a star count would not, so the site has neither. The guides show you how to work out your own answer from your quote, your usage and your utility's rules.
What if a page is wrong?
Tell My Solar Brokers through the Contact page, naming the page and the line. A correction is printed on the page it changes, with its date, and listed in the corrections log.
