About this disclosure
CaSolar Solutions LLC (“CaSolar,” “we,” “us”) operates an information and comparison service at https://casolarsolutions.com. We believe you deserve clear, plain‑English transparency about how we make money and how that influences (and does not influence) what you read here. -
How CaSolar makes money
- Some links, forms and phone numbers on our site are “affiliate” or partner links. If you click, submit a quote request, schedule an appointment, or make a purchase, we may earn a commission or referral fee from the company at no additional cost to you.
- We may receive:
- Lead generation fees (for connecting you with installers)
- Referral commissions on eligible purchases
- Fixed sponsorships for specific placements clearly labeled as “Sponsored”
- Most of our content is free to read. These earnings help us maintain the site, improve calculators, and keep our guidance up to date.
- Editorial independence
- Our goal is to present accurate, useful information that helps you make better solar decisions.
- Partners do not approve our articles, methodology or rankings, and cannot buy favorable reviews.
- When compensation could influence placement (for example, a sponsored card), we label it “Sponsored” or “Partner”.
- How we choose and present companies
- Baseline criteria: active license/registration where applicable, insurance, warranty transparency, equipment quality and service coverage.
- Evidence considered: public license databases, manufacturer programs, installer references, third‑party signals (when available), and our own checks.
- Methodology signals (not exhaustive): equipment brands and warranties, workmanship warranty, NABCEP credentials, coverage area, responsiveness, clarity of proposals, and service track record.
- We periodically update lists as markets and companies change.
- Identification of affiliate relationships
- “Partner” or “Sponsored” badges indicate paid placement.
- “Get quotes” or “Call” buttons may use tracking parameters so the partner can attribute your request to us.
- If a page contains affiliate links or partner CTAs, consider the entire page monetized.
- What compensation does not buy
- It does not buy positive language, higher scores, or omission of material drawbacks.
- It does not allow partners to alter our methodology or data presentation.
- It does not override safety, licensing or basic eligibility checks.
- Your responsibility and due diligence
Solar is a significant home improvement and a YMYL (“Your Money or Your Life”) topic. Always:
- Verify licenses, insurance and permits with official sources.
- Read all contracts and warranties; ask for exclusions in writing.
- Confirm incentives and tax matters with your utility and qualified tax advisor.
- Get at least two quotes and compare equipment, price and terms.
- Privacy and data sharing
- If you request quotes, we share your information only with matched providers to fulfill your request. See our Privacy Policy for details, state privacy rights and opt‑out choices.
- We do not sell your personal information for money. Some analytics/advertising partners may constitute a “share” under certain privacy laws—see our Privacy Policy to opt out.
