About how much is the power bill each month?
Power company only, not the solar payment. A rough yearly average is fine.
The report will note it's an estimate.

What the Contract Terms grade is scored on
These come straight out of the agreement and are added up to a letter — no judgement is applied. Correct anything the extraction misread and the grade moves with it.
Also read from the document
Recorded on the report but not scored. Anything missing simply was not stated in the agreement.
A few things the contract can't show
These happen after signing, so they aren't in the document. Answer what you know; the grade uses them.
Benchmarking against the local market and scoring the five categories…
The shareable link carries the report inside the URL itself, so it works for anyone you send it to and never reaches our servers — but anyone holding the link can read whatever it carries, including anyone the link is forwarded to. By default the address, client name and bill text are left out. Don't post the link publicly if the contract details are sensitive.
About this report: RateMySolar is not a law firm. This report is not legal advice or a legal review of the contract. It summarizes key terms and grades them against published data and set criteria, as a simple guide. The contract itself controls. For what any term means for you legally, talk to a licensed attorney in your state. RateMySolar is not responsible for any decision to buy, sell, own or take over a solar agreement. See our terms.
Estimates, not advice. Grades compare the contract with published figures, not a site survey.

Before you upload
Not legal advice. RateMySolar is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We don't tell you what your contract means legally or what you should do. We pull the key terms from the contract and grade them against published data, like local utility rates, typical solar prices and expected output, using the same criteria for every contract. The result is a simple guide to a complex document. For a legal review of your contract, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
Your information
Solar contracts usually contain your name, home address, signature, and
financing terms. Here's exactly what happens to that:
Your document is uploaded for analysis to read the contract terms.
It isn't saved to our servers and isn't used to train any
model. It exists for the length of the analysis. Our provider may hold it
briefly for abuse monitoring, as API providers do, before it ages out.
We keep the contract data and the property address, not the people.
We keep the system size, lender, terms and where the system is as data. We don't need
names, signatures, phone numbers, emails or account numbers, so those are removed. That data is what
other people get benchmarked against, and we license it as market
research. It helps keep the MLS snapshot low-cost.
Your name and contact details are never kept or sold. No leads,
no sales calls. You can ask us to remove your property at any time.
Redact first if you'd rather. Account numbers and signatures
aren't needed for the grade.
