Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using SolarInfoPath. These terms apply to all visitors, readers, and users who access or browse this website.

1. About SolarInfoPath
SolarInfoPath is an independent informational website dedicated to helping American homeowners research, understand, and evaluate residential solar energy. We publish guides, articles, cost breakdowns, and regional information to support readers who are making informed decisions about solar power in the United States.
We are not a solar installation company. We are not a financial institution. We are not a government agency. We are an independent publishing team with no commercial stake in whether or not you go solar, which company you choose, or what equipment you buy. You can learn more about our values and how we operate on our About Us page.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing any page on SolarInfoPath, whether you arrive through a search engine, a direct link, a social media post, or any other source, you are agreeing to these Terms and Conditions in full. These terms apply to every page on the site, including articles, guides, legal pages, and any other content we publish now or in the future.
If you are accessing this site on behalf of a business, organization, or any other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these terms, and the word “you” in this document refers to both you personally and that entity.
3. Informational Purpose Only
3.1 No Professional Advice
All content published on SolarInfoPath is intended for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes or should be treated as professional financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, engineering advice, or installation advice of any kind.
We are not licensed financial advisors, certified public accountants, attorneys, electricians, or solar contractors. The articles and guides we publish are written to help you understand how solar energy works and what the process of going solar typically looks like for American homeowners. They are not designed to replace the guidance of qualified professionals who know your specific situation.
3.2 Consult Qualified Professionals
Before making any significant financial decision related to solar energy, including purchasing a system, signing a lease or power purchase agreement, claiming the federal solar Investment Tax Credit, or selecting a financing option, we strongly encourage you to consult with a licensed professional in the relevant field. A certified tax advisor can help you understand how federal and state incentives apply to your personal tax situation. A licensed solar installer can evaluate your property and provide accurate quotes. An attorney can review contracts before you sign them.
Our content on pages like the Solar Costs and Incentives page and the Solar Installation Guide is intended to prepare you for those professional conversations, not to replace them.
4. Accuracy of Information
4.1 Our Commitment to Accuracy
We take the accuracy of our content seriously. Our team researches each topic using publicly available government sources, utility company disclosures, and industry data. We review our most important pages on a regular schedule and update them when we become aware of significant changes in the US solar landscape.
4.2 Limitations We Cannot Overcome
The solar energy industry in the United States changes frequently. The federal Investment Tax Credit percentage can be modified by Congress. State rebate programs launch and expire. Utility net metering policies are revised by state commissions. Installation pricing fluctuates with equipment and labor markets across different regions of the country.
Because of this, we cannot guarantee that every figure, percentage, policy detail, or program description on this site is current and accurate at the exact moment you are reading it. Information that was correct when we published it may have changed since then.
Always verify specific incentive amounts, tax credit rules, and program availability independently before making financial decisions. Government websites, your state energy office, and your local utility company are the most reliable sources for confirming current program details.
4.3 No Warranty of Accuracy
SolarInfoPath makes no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of any information published on this site. All content is provided as is, for general educational purposes, without any guarantee that it reflects current conditions.
