Our Editorial Mission

Every guide on SolarProGuide is written to help homeowners make an informed decision about solar — not to sell them anything specific. We are compensated by installers only when a homeowner signs a contract, and the fee is identical across every installer in our network. That structure means we have no incentive to steer readers toward one panel brand, one financing option, or one installer.

Editorial Team

James Whitfield — Senior Editor & Solar Analyst

12+ years in the solar industry. NABCEP Associate certified. Previously at SunRun and a boutique installer in Denver. Reviews every guide + cost table before publication. Full bio →

Editorial Team

Content writers with backgrounds in journalism, engineering, and consumer finance. All draft content is reviewed by James Whitfield and cross-checked against SEIA, NREL, and EIA source data before publishing.

Fact-Check Process

Every price figure, tax-credit rule, and net-metering claim is verified against a government or industry source. Data older than 12 months is refreshed at annual review.

How We Write

  1. Assign topic — based on Google Search Console queries where readers show up but don't get a good answer
  2. Research phase — writer pulls current data from IRS, DOE, NREL, SEIA, EIA, DSIRE, and 2-3 recent installer proposals to sanity-check numbers
  3. Draft with sources cited inline — every claim gets a link or specific citation
  4. Expert review — James Whitfield reads for accuracy, especially cost figures and code compliance
  5. Publish + monitor — Search Console tells us if readers are getting what they need or bouncing
  6. Annual review — every published guide gets re-checked once per calendar year

Corrections Policy

If you spot a factual error in any guide, email [email protected]. We investigate every reported issue within 2 business days. Confirmed errors are corrected with a visible correction note at the top of the affected page, dated and initialed.

Our compensation comes from a single source: installer referral fees. Fees are identical across every installer in the network. We do not accept payment from panel manufacturers, inverter companies, or financing platforms in exchange for coverage. If a specific brand appears in a "best of" ranking, it's there on merit — measured by the criteria disclosed at the top of that page.

Reader Feedback

We read every email and phone message. If a section of a guide is unclear or missing information you need, tell us — we update guides based on real reader requests. Reach us at (844) 210-9286 or via the contact page.
