These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SimpleSolarGuide.com, operated by McNary Ventures ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Nature of the Site — Educational Information Only
SimpleSolarGuide.com is an independent consumer information and lead generation website. All content published on this site — including solar savings estimates, cost data, payback calculations, state incentive information, and product recommendations — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.
Important Disclaimer
Solar savings estimates generated by our calculator are approximations based on national averages and publicly available data. They are not guarantees of actual savings, system performance, or financial returns. Actual results will vary based on your specific home, roof, local utility rates, installer pricing, and other factors. Always obtain multiple quotes from licensed solar installers before making any purchasing decision.
2. Affiliate Relationships and Compensation
SimpleSolarGuide.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. We have affiliate relationships with solar companies including EnergySage, SunPower, Palmetto Solar, Renogy, EcoFlow, GoSun, and others. When you click on affiliate links or submit a quote request through our site, we may receive compensation in the form of a commission or referral fee.
This compensation does not influence our editorial content, product recommendations, or the savings estimates generated by our calculator. We strive to provide accurate, unbiased information regardless of affiliate relationships.
All affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255).
