Rough 2026 pricing for this roof — pick a size, add backup, compare cash, loan and lease. Illustrative estimates, not a quote.
Upfront cost $0 — SkyFusion funds the Max-roof system, a 48-hour battery bank and the node itself. Your electric bill $0 — this roof makes 18,813 kWh a year at max size, more than a typical home uses. And the AI Prosperity Dividend: $100–$300/mo paid to you for hosting the node (illustrative — final terms from SkyFusion).
Estimator assumptions: $2.85/W installed (2026 national average; Colorado typically $2.70–2.90/W) · battery $12,500 per 13.5 kWh unit purchased, whole-home backup at average use · loan 7.5% APR (the median quoted solar-loan rate), term selectable · lease priced per kWh produced plus $60/mo per battery unit, first-year payment (leases typically escalate ~3%/yr) · typical home use 10,000 kWh/yr · power valued at $0.16/kWh · no federal homeowner credit in 2026 (it expired Dec 31, 2025); third-party leases can still benefit from the commercial credit. Payback math: power prices rise at the rate picked above (3%/yr default), panels fade 0.5%/yr, surplus beyond home use at ≈$0.02/kWh (Xcel’s year-end payout rate; rollover banking keeps it at retail), battery time-shifting at ≈$0.09/kWh on Xcel’s time-of-use spread. Each EV adds ≈3,300 kWh/yr (≈12,000 miles at 0.275 kWh/mile); the ≈$1,200/yr per-EV gas saving (30 mpg, $3/gal) is context only and is not counted in any payback.
These are estimates, not a quote. Every number on this page is modeled from aerial imagery and public data. Your actual price and savings will depend on the final system design an installer prepares after a site survey — panel and inverter selection, your roof’s real condition, pitch and shading, electrical panel capacity, permitting, and the incentives in effect when you install. Quotes vary from installer to installer, which is exactly why the button above sends your roof to up to four of them.
