In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), this page discloses the financial relationships behind GoSolarBusiness.com. We believe you deserve to know exactly how we make money before you use our service.
Material Connection Disclosure
GoSolarBusiness.com has material financial connections with solar installation companies and solar lead/quote networks ("partners"). When you submit a quote request through our site and we connect you with one or more of these partners, we receive a referral fee. This referral relationship exists across the entire site — you should assume that any link or form that connects you with a solar installer results in compensation to us.
How We Earn Commissions
Our business model is simple and consistent:
- You request a free solar quote through our form;
- We match your request with licensed solar installers or quote networks serving your area;
- Those companies pay us a referral fee for the introduction.
Three things never change under this model:
- Our service is always free for you. You will never be charged by GoSolarBusiness.com for anything.
- Quotes are not marked up. The referral fee is paid by the installer out of their marketing budget — it is not added to your quote.
- You are never obligated to accept any quote or work with any installer we introduce.
Editorial Independence
Our referral relationships do not control our content. The guides, cost figures, and recommendations published on GoSolarBusiness.com are produced by our editorial team based on industry data, primary sources (IRS, Department of Energy, SEIA), and our experience helping business owners evaluate solar. Specifically:
- We do not accept payment to publish positive coverage of any specific company or product;
- We tell you when solar is not a good fit — even though that costs us referral revenue;
- Our savings figures include disclaimers because honest ranges serve you better than inflated promises;
- Partners do not review or approve our editorial content before publication.
No Guarantees
Compensation we receive never guarantees the performance of any installer or solar system. Savings estimates on this site are illustrative, vary based on location, system size, and energy usage, and are not promises of results. Always evaluate installers independently and consult qualified professionals before signing contracts.
