By using this site you agree to these terms. In short: we give honest, general information to help you — but always confirm the details with a licensed professional.
Golden State Solar Guide is a free, independent information resource. Everything here — articles, maps, the rooftop designer, savings and price estimates — is general information to help you learn. It is not financial, tax, legal, or engineering advice, and it is not a binding quote. Always confirm current programs and get a firm proposal from a licensed professional before you make a decision.
The rooftop designer and any prices, production figures, savings, payback, or incentive amounts are estimates based on public data, satellite imagery, and assumptions that may not match your home. Actual equipment, pricing, roof conditions, utility rates, and program eligibility can differ. Treat all numbers as a starting point for a conversation, not a promise.
We are not a utility and not a solar installer. We are not affiliated with PG&E or any utility or installer. Product and company names are used for identification only.
The site uses public and third-party data (for example OpenStreetMap, WRI, EIA, IRENA, Global Energy Monitor, Esri and Google imagery) and may link to other sites. We don’t control that data or those sites and aren’t responsible for their accuracy or content.
If you ask us to, we may introduce you to a licensed local solar professional. Any agreement, quote, installation, or warranty is strictly between you and that company — we are not a party to it and don’t guarantee their work. We may be compensated for a referral; that never changes the honest information we give you.
The site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Golden State Solar Guide is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or reliance on its estimates or information.
Please use the site lawfully and don’t attempt to disrupt it, scrape it at scale, or misuse the chat assistant. The site’s content and design are ours or our licensors’.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when. Questions? Email hello@goldenstatesolarguide.com.
