Advertising does not set our methodology
Advertising relationships do not determine solar-production assumptions, electricity-rate data, calculator outputs, product specifications, policy interpretation, Real Solar Prices methodology or corrections.
Display advertising
The site may display third-party advertising, including contextual or interest-based advertising. Ads should be visually distinguishable from editorial and calculator content. Advertising platforms may use cookies or similar technologies as described in our Privacy Policy when those services are enabled.
Installer discovery and quote matching
Live installer search results from Google Maps Platform are discovery results, not paid Home Solar Atlas rankings or matching-partner endorsements. The initial first-party quote-matching request stays with Home Solar Atlas and does not authorize contact details to be shared with installers.
Home Solar Atlas may internally suggest approved installer candidates for a qualified homeowner request. Before any contact details can be delivered to one of those installers, the homeowner must receive a separate installer-specific consent request that names that company and expressly authorize the sharing scope. A consent for one installer does not authorize sharing with another installer.
If Home Solar Atlas receives referral, lead, listing or other compensation from a solar installer or matching partner, that commercial relationship will be disclosed in the relevant matching or profile experience. Compensation is not evidence that an installer is technically superior, lower priced or independently verified.
Paid placement and rankings
Paid placement is not used to secretly change factual comparison tables or make an advertiser appear technically superior. Sponsored content, paid listings or affiliate relationships will be disclosed where the commercial relationship affects the content or placement.
Our priority
The long-term value of Home Solar Atlas depends on homeowners trusting the numbers. Commercial revenue is therefore kept separate from the data and editorial rules documented in our Methodology and Editorial Policy.
