How We Make Money

Last Updated: March 14, 2026

We believe in complete transparency about how we generate revenue. This page explains our business model so you can understand how we operate and fund our free platform.

How We Generate Revenue

Installer Lead Referrals

When a homeowner requests a quote through our platform and connects with an installer, we may receive a referral fee from that installer. This helps us maintain our free comparison tools and educational content.

Important: Your quote request is always free, and you are under no obligation to use any installer we recommend.

Featured Listings

Solar installers and manufacturers can pay for enhanced visibility in our directory through featured placement. This may include prominent positioning in search results or special badges indicating their partnership status.

Pro Subscriptions

Industry professionals, including installers, distributors, and solar developers, can subscribe to our Intelligence section for access to advanced market data, procurement insights, and professional tools.

Affiliate Links

Some product links on our platform may be affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

What Never Influences Our Rankings

We take editorial independence seriously. Here's what will never affect our product rankings or efficiency data:

  • Manufacturer Payments

    No manufacturer can pay us to influence their ranking or position in our comparisons.

  • Paid Ratings

    No brand can pay for a higher rating. All ratings are based on objective data and independent analysis.

  • Editorial Influence

    Our editorial content is fully independent. Our technical analysis team evaluates products based on publicly available specifications, lab testing data, and real-world performance metrics—not on advertising relationships.

Our Commitment to You

Our goal is to be the most trusted resource for solar panel information on the web. We know that trust is earned through transparency and objectivity. Here's our promise to you:

  • We will always clearly label sponsored content and advertising
  • We will never manipulate our rankings based on advertising revenue
  • We will always disclose when a product or service has been provided for review
  • We will continue to invest in independent testing and data verification
  • We will always prioritize accurate, up-to-date technical specifications
