my understanding was that this would violate google's terms (unless we are willing/able to pay), but maybe i'm mistaken. we use google's geocoder when we display data on maps, but i thought it was prohibited to use the geocoder for other purposes (e.g. geo-based data at ohmji.com/solar/san-francisco not rendered on a map).

by narrow do you mean you want to see more features, a broader thematic focus, results for more cities?

We've begun with California data only. Texas is on the short-list of places we'll target next, Austin especially.

Are there specific things you would like to know about solar installers or about what it's like to install solar that you would want to hear from solar owners themselves in reviews and comments?

By number: 1) Name was a tough one. In the end we opted for something that didn't have solar or green or anything 'eco' in it. It is unbelievable how many companies in this space have names so similar they are indistinguishable. We hoped this difference might be memorable. And it may be... 2) Do you mean adding autocomplete in the search text field? 5) Sort is coming.

Features that highlight solar payback are planned

You're right. We'll be enabling city-only search soon. I didn't realize how many people would blow by the 'city, state' hint without pause...

Thanks in advance for your feedback. -Jason

Thanks. SuperHappyDevHouse looks great, as do local coworking facilities - I know about artist co-ops, but wasn't aware hackers had similar setups.
