Calculator math, cost ranges, warnings, and recommendation paths come from static assumption files, not from advertiser bids.
Clear monetization policy
Affiliate disclosure
This site may earn revenue from display ads, configured affiliate links, and future approved quote-partner links. Compensation should never decide the calculator math, cost ranges, warnings, or source notes.
How the site may earn money
Ads and affiliate links are separate from the estimate
Display ads
Some pages may show Google AdSense placements when publisher and slot IDs are configured. Ads are separate from calculator results and guide recommendations.
Affiliate links
Some product buttons may use tracked affiliate URLs. If you buy after clicking, this site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Quote partners
Installer or solar-storage quote CTAs appear only when an approved partner URL is configured. The calculator does not sell your contact details in v1.
Fallback links
When no approved affiliate URL is configured, product cards use ordinary merchant or source links and label them as fallback links.
Editorial independence
The worksheet comes before the commission
Partners cannot pay to change the calculator output, hide warnings, or remove source notes.
Product cards belong only where the buying path makes sense, such as portable backup, expansion batteries, monitoring, or transfer-safe accessories.
Incentive language points readers to official IRS, DSIRE, utility, installer, or tax resources instead of promising eligibility.
Link policy
Tracked links, fallbacks, and click labels
Tracked product links use sponsored or nofollow attributes where appropriate.
Non-affiliate fallbacks stay available when a tracked URL is configured so readers can open the merchant without affiliate tracking.
Outbound click telemetry is limited to product and merchant context for site-quality review, not homeowner contact collection.
Ad blocks and affiliate links should be visually separate from cost assumptions, source notes, and quote-readiness checklists.

Disclosure FAQ
Common questions about paid links
Do affiliate links change the estimate?
No. Affiliate availability does not change battery sizing, installed-cost ranges, warnings, or recommendation logic.
What does a fallback link mean?
A fallback link is a normal merchant or source link used when no approved affiliate URL is active for that product card.
Are quote partner links paid placements?
They may become paid or tracked placements only after a partner URL is approved and configured. Until then, the site should not imply a quote partner relationship.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. The site is a planning tool. Incentive, tax, permit, warranty, and electrical-code decisions should be verified with qualified professionals and official sources.
