Could you build this?
Partial The calculator and guide pages are easy to vibe-code. The product's value depends on accurate, current state-by-state plug-in solar law research, which requires legal and regulatory expertise and ongoing maintenance.
What it would actually take: The calculator uses standard solar production models such as PVWatts with simple payback math, and the site can be static or lightly dynamic. The hard part is a continuously maintained, legally accurate database of state and utility rules, built with regulatory research and periodic review, and ideally reviewed by a qualified professional.
