EcoGen America is free for homeowners. Every guide, comparison, and calculator on this site costs you nothing to use, and we do not sell or install solar equipment ourselves.
The Model in One Sentence
Solar installation companies pay us when we connect them with a homeowner who asks to be contacted. That is the entire business.
What That Means in Practice
- When you enter your ZIP code or request quotes, we pass your request to vetted installation companies serving your area, and those companies pay us for the introduction.
- You never pay us anything, at any point.
- If you read our guides and never submit a form, we earn nothing from your visit. There is no paid placement inside our content.
What Payment Never Buys
Rankings, ratings, and recommendations are not for sale. A company’s position in our comparisons is never influenced by whether it works with us or how much it pays. Our partners are listed openly on our About Us page, and a company we cover is not automatically a partner.
Why We Publish This Page
Solar is a major purchase, and much of the advice online is sold rather than written. We would rather tell you exactly who pays us, so you can weigh what we publish with full information. How we research, write, and check the content itself is covered in our Editorial Process & Content Standards.
