Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SolarCalc at YOUR-DOMAIN.com (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may update these terms at any time; continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

2. Use of Calculators

SolarCalc provides free online calculators covering solar panel savings, payback periods, IRA tax credits, home battery ROI, EV charging costs, energy bill savings, net metering, utility rate escalation, generator vs solar comparisons, and carbon footprint estimation.

All calculations run entirely within your web browser. No data you enter is transmitted to or stored on our servers. Results are mathematical estimates based on the inputs you provide and standard published industry formulas and averages.

You acknowledge that:

• Calculator results are estimates only and may differ significantly from real-world outcomes.
• Actual solar savings, payback periods, and tax credits depend on factors specific to your property, tax situation, utility, installer, and local regulations that this tool cannot fully account for.
• IRA tax credit eligibility and amounts should be verified with a qualified tax professional or the IRS directly before relying on them for financial planning.
• You are solely responsible for any decisions made based on information obtained from this Site.

3. Not Professional Advice

Nothing on this Site constitutes financial, investment, tax, energy, engineering, or legal advice. The calculators are educational tools designed to help you ask better questions — not to replace the advice of a licensed solar installer, certified financial planner, tax advisor, or attorney.

Always obtain professional guidance before making significant energy investments, signing solar installation contracts, or claiming tax credits.

4. No Warranties

The Site and all calculators are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that:

• Calculator results are accurate, complete, or current
• The Site will be available without interruption or error
• Any particular result will be achievable in practice

We update calculator formulas and default values regularly, but electricity rates, solar incentives, equipment costs, and tax laws change frequently. You should verify all figures against current sources before acting on them.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SolarCalc and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this Site or its calculators — including but not limited to financial losses resulting from decisions made based on calculator outputs.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from use of the Site shall not exceed zero dollars, as the Site is provided entirely free of charge.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

Some calculators include links to third-party services such as solar marketplace platforms and energy providers. These links are affiliate links, clearly labelled “Sponsored.” If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or submit a quote request, we may earn a referral commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not influence calculator results, formulas, or editorial content. We only link to services we consider genuinely relevant and useful for the context in which they appear.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site — including calculator code, design, copy, graphics, and layout — is owned by or licensed to SolarCalc and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

You may use the calculators freely for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may embed any calculator on your own website using the embed code provided on the Site, provided the “Powered by SolarCalc” attribution link remains intact and unmodified.

You may not reproduce, republish, scrape, reverse-engineer, or commercially exploit any part of this Site without prior written permission.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites including solar installers, energy marketplaces, and government resources. These links are provided for convenience only. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Visiting a third-party site is at your own risk.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use this Site to:

• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically extract data from the Site
• Introduce malware, viruses, or any harmful code
• Use automated tools to access the Site in ways that overload our servers
• Misrepresent calculator results or attribute fabricated figures to SolarCalc

10. Changes to the Site

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may update calculator formulas, add or remove tools, or change default values as energy rates, incentives, and technology evolve.

11. Governing Law
