    <h2>FAQ</h2>
    <h3>Does financing change payback?</h3>
    <p>Yes. Include monthly EMI/markup in cash flows to see net difference vs. cash purchase.</p>
    <h3>How accurate are these estimates?</h3>
    <p>They’re directional. For a precise quote, request a site survey and shading assessment.</p>
    <h3>What about panel/inverter replacements?</h3>
    <p>Include their expected cost in maintenance if replacement is anticipated within the horizon.</p>
