FAQ

Can I buy from you?

Not yet. Today the site is research only. Product pages link to the manufacturer with an unpaid link. When merchants approve us, buttons will name the store and carry a commission note.

Is plug-in solar legal where I live?

It depends on your state, and on the date. Signing a law and the law taking effect are different days. Our laws-by-state page lists the bill, signing date and start date for every state, with sources.

Will a plug-in kit power my home in a blackout?

No. Certified plug-in inverters shut down when the grid does, to protect utility crews. Backup power needs a battery your appliances plug into, or a home battery installed with a transfer switch.

How big a kit can I plug into one outlet?

On a shared 15 A household circuit, about 360 W leaves safe headroom. Bigger systems, up to your state's cap, need a dedicated circuit and an electrician.

Can I plug a power station or generator into the wall to run my house?

No. That can energize the grid and bypasses every protection in a certified kit. Plug appliances into the power station instead, or have an electrician install a transfer switch.

How much will a kit save me?

It depends on your sun, your electric rate and how much of the power you use as it is made. Our savings calculator shows the math with every input changeable. We do not publish a single savings number.

Why are there no prices?

We only show prices that come from an approved, current merchant feed, with the date. Prices typed in by hand go stale and can break merchant rules.

Have you tested these products?

Not yet. Product pages cite the maker's published specs and link every source; products we could not source reliably say "Unverified". When we test something, the page will say "Hands-on tested" and link the method.

Are you affiliated with any solar or battery maker?

No. We describe their products because they are relevant, and we are not sponsored or endorsed by any of them.
