What a Custom Proposal Actually Includes
A Coastal Energy proposal is a written document built specifically for your property, not a generic brochure. It starts with a production model based on your roof's orientation, shading, roof planes and your 12 month usage history, so the estimated kilowatt hour output reflects your actual home.
From there, it lays out a real cost range for the equipment and installation, financing options if you want them, and a realistic timeline from signed contract through permitting, installation and utility permission to operate.
You can request a proposal for solar panels alone, solar paired with a Tesla Powerwall or similar battery, a re-roof ahead of solar, or a combined system. Commercial properties can request a proposal built around demand charge reduction on our commercial solar page.
The four pieces
The Four Things Every Proposal Answers
No matter the system size, a Coastal Energy proposal answers these four questions in writing.
Production Model
Estimated annual kilowatt hour output for your specific roof, along with the offset percentage against your current usage.
Cost Range
A real installed cost range for the system size and equipment discussed. Federal residential tax credits have expired, so this is a straight installed-cost number, not a pre-credit and post-credit split.
Financing Options
Cash purchase, solar loan terms, or lease and power purchase style options where available, laid out with estimated monthly payments.
Timeline
A realistic schedule from signed contract through engineering, permitting, installation, inspection and utility interconnection.
System options
What a Proposal Might Cover, by System Type
Rough ranges to set expectations. Your proposal will have a specific number, not a range this wide.
| System type | Typical cost range | Backup power | Financing available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solar panels only | $16,000 - $38,000 | No, unless a battery is added | Yes |
| Solar panels + Powerwall 3 | $31,000 - $67,000 | Yes, whole home capable | Yes |
| Tesla Solar Roof | $76,000 - $96,000+ | With Powerwall only | Yes |
| Commercial solar + storage | Varies by facility | Depends on design | Commercial financing available |
Final numbers depend on roof condition, panel count, electrical upgrades and equipment selected. Your written proposal reflects your property, not this table.
Process
How to Get from a Request to a Signed Proposal
01
Request Your Proposal
Send your address and a recent power bill. We start modeling production and pricing right away.
02
Consultation Call
A design specialist reviews your usage and goals and confirms which system type to build the proposal around.
03
Site Survey
A technician inspects your roof, attic framing, main panel and grounding to confirm the design is buildable as modeled.
04
Delivery of Your Written Proposal
You receive the production model, firm cost range, financing options and timeline in writing to review at your own pace.
05
Sign When Ready
There is no pressure to sign on the spot. Once you are ready, we schedule engineering and permitting.
Financing
How Financing Fits Into Your Proposal
Most homeowners pay cash or use a solar loan through Climate First Bank, our financing partner, at 7% to 8% APR with $0 down available. Your proposal will show what a monthly payment looks like alongside the cash price. Federal residential tax credits have expired; depreciation may be available depending on your tax situation, and we can connect you with Solar ITC to review it.
We do not lock you into a financing decision before the proposal is delivered. Our financing page walks through loan terms and incentives in more detail if you want to review the options before your call.
