The four steps

What actually happens, in order.

01

Tell us your servicer & lease terms

Which servicer you're with (SunStrong, Sunrun, Renewbrook, or another), your lease or PPA type, and the numbers straight off your contract: annual guaranteed production, the true-up interval (most SunPower-era leases use 24 months), and the $/kWh true-up rate.

02

We pull your real production data

Enphase systems connect directly through Enphase's own login — no password shared with us. SolarEdge systems use a CSV export from your monitoring account, or manual entry if you don't have admin access (common on orphaned systems where the original installer held the account).

03

We tell you if you're owed money

Honest either way. The true-up formula accounts for any surplus or shortfall carried over from your last true-up period, so it's the same calculation your servicer is supposed to be running — just actually run, and shown to you plainly.

04

We draft your claim letter

Only if a real shortfall exists. Servicer-specific, written in your own voice, with the calculation and your production data attached as an evidence packet — you sign and send it yourself.

Worked example

The exact math, with real numbers.

This mirrors the same true-up calculation GuaranteeCheck's diagnostic runs — not a simplified version of it.

Annual guaranteed production (from your lease)9,200 kWh/yr
True-up interval24 months
Guaranteed production for this period9,200 × (24 ÷ 12) = 18,400 kWh
Carried-over balance from prior period0 kWh
Actual metered production (from Enphase/SolarEdge)15,760 kWh
Net shortfall18,400 − 15,760 = 2,640 kWh
True-up rate (from your lease)$0.15/kWh
Shortfall credit owed2,640 × $0.15 = $396.00

If your period instead showed a surplus (actual production above the guarantee), that surplus carries forward and offsets a shortfall in a later period, rather than being paid out on its own — the same mechanic your lease's true-up clause describes. This is deliberately simple arithmetic once the real inputs exist; the hard part was never the math, it was actually running it and getting real production data instead of trusting the servicer to run it for you.

What this isn't. GuaranteeCheck doesn't read or parse your actual lease PDF — you enter the guaranteed production, true-up interval, and rate yourself, straight from your contract. There's no legal review of your specific lease language; this is a calculation tool, not legal advice.
