INFORMATIONAL USE ONLY. Results provided by SolarTruth are for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Always consult a licensed financial advisor, tax professional, and qualified solar installer before making any solar investment decision.
ESTIMATES, NOT GUARANTEES. Solar production estimates, savings projections, payback periods, NPV, IRR, and all financial outputs are mathematical estimates based on publicly available data. Actual results will vary based on installation quality, local weather, shading, utility rate changes, equipment performance, and other factors. No guarantee of any specific financial outcome is made or implied.
NEM AND UTILITY POLICIES. Net energy metering policies, utility rates, and solar incentive programmes change frequently. Data reflects publicly available information as of the date shown. Verify current NEM policy, export rates, and utility tariffs directly with your utility before relying on any figures.
FEDERAL AND STATE INCENTIVES. Tax credit information is based on publicly available IRS guidance and state programme data. Tax credit eligibility depends on your individual tax situation. The federal ITC requires sufficient federal tax liability to utilise. Consult a qualified tax professional. State incentive programmes are subject to funding availability and eligibility criteria.
ROOF AND STRUCTURAL. This tool does not assess roof structural condition, load capacity, waterproofing integrity, or suitability for solar installation. A qualified roofing professional and structural engineer should assess your roof before any solar installation.
NO INSTALLER AFFILIATION. SolarTruth is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or financially connected to any solar installer, manufacturer, financier, or energy company. If you provide contact information, it may be shared with licensed solar installers in your area who have agreed to our partner terms. You are under no obligation to purchase any product or service.
LEAD SHARING. By submitting contact information, you consent to being contacted by up to three licensed solar installers in your service area. Your information will not be sold to data brokers or used for unrelated purposes. You may opt out at any time.
EV CALCULATIONS. EV consumption estimates are based on EPA fuel economy ratings and typical driving patterns. Actual EV energy consumption varies by driving style, climate, charging behaviour, and vehicle condition.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. To the maximum extent permitted by law, SolarTruth and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of this tool or reliance on any information provided herein.
METHODOLOGY. Production estimates use a multi-stage physics-based calculation pipeline validated against US government solar benchmarks. Utility rates are sourced from EIA Form 861 (2023). NEM policies are sourced from state PUC orders and DSIRE (2024). Federal incentive data is sourced from IRS guidance and IRA 2022.
