Sunalite exists to give homeowners and renters honest, accurate information about solar and backup power. Here’s how we create content and choose what to recommend.
Table of Contents
How we research
- Primary sources first: manufacturer specifications, utility and government sources (such as state legislatures, the USDA and Illinois incentive programs), and reputable published testing.
- Show the math: run times, sizing and savings estimates include the formulas and assumptions, so you can plug in your own numbers.
- Honest about testing: when we’ve personally used or tested a product, we say so. When a recommendation is based on specifications and published reviews, we’re clear about that too.
How we choose products
We recommend products based on fit for real household needs: battery chemistry, output and surge capacity, expandability, safety certifications, warranty and brand support. Commission rates and advertising don’t influence our picks, and we don’t accept payment for coverage. See our affiliate disclosure.
Keeping content current
Solar incentives, state laws and product lineups change quickly. We review and update articles regularly, and time-sensitive pages (like state law trackers) note when they were last updated.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please email hello@sunalite.com. We’ll review it promptly and fix confirmed errors.
Safety first
We’ll never recommend unsafe practices like backfeeding power through an outlet or running generators indoors. Anything involving your home’s electrical system should be done by a licensed electrician.
