How many quotes should I get for a solar job in Provo?

At least three. In the permit record the middle half of Provo solar firms usually file between $15,281 and $28,493 a job, so two ordinary firms can sit 1.9 times apart and both be normal for Provo. A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.

Why is this different from the per-watt prices I see online?

Online prices are quoted per watt. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many watts plus the work around them, and the Provo file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $23,100 into a price per watt.

Do bigger houses get bigger bills?

In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $21,000, the lower third $16,400. That is firms, not single jobs.

How these numbers are made

Source: Provo City building permits on single-family homes, two-family homes, townhomes and condos (one record per permit number). The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.
