## Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 10 of the 32 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 22 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 295 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): every installed price an Arizona solar company publishes on its own site, normalised to one grid - dollars per watt DC, total price by system size (3, 5, 8, 10, 13.5 kW), equipment tier, whether storage is included, and the purchase form (cash, loan, prepaid lease, PPA) - giving the median, interquartile spread and range per metro, the NATIONAL-BRAND PREMIUM (the gap between a national installer's published city page and a local Arizona installer's own figure, measurable here because one national publisher posts five Arizona city pages), the storage adder, and the share of installers publishing any price at all rather than quoting. That share is the finding this market hides: an exhaustive SERP run for Arizona solar cost returns lead-generation aggregators and comparison sites far more often than installers' own pages, so the index measures publication as well as price, and an installer that publishes nothing is recorded not-published rather than imputed. A calculator is only as honest as the price it multiplies, which is why this is the flagship: it is the input the site's one certified keyword asks for.
