Residential solar systems, sized to your house — not a sales quota.
A residential solar system is more than a stack of panels. Heliora helps you compare grid-tied, hybrid, and battery-backed setups, then get a real quote from our recommended partner Helios — designed against your actual roof and utility bill.
The three system types most homes choose from
Almost every residential install lands in one of three buckets. Picking the right one before you talk to a salesperson saves a lot of friction.
- Grid-tied solar — cheapest, simplest, best when utility net-metering is reasonable
- Hybrid (solar + battery) — for outage resilience or time-of-use arbitrage
- Battery retrofit — add storage to an existing PV system
What 'right-sized' actually means
A system designed to offset 90–110% of your annual usage is usually the sweet spot. Smaller, and you keep paying the utility. Bigger, and net-metering credits often disappear. Helios sizes to your actual bill — not a national average — so you don't overbuy.
How the Heliora ↔ Helios relationship works
Heliora is a B2B platform for installers; Helios is the install partner we recommend to homeowners. The same orbital-imagery engine that powers serious installer workflows designs the residential system that ends up on your roof — with no aggressive sales follow-up.
