Acceptance of these terms
By using OwlSolarNews (owlsolarnews.com), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Using the site
Content here is for your personal, non-commercial use. You’re welcome to read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts of our articles with proper attribution — but wholesale republishing of our content elsewhere isn’t permitted without our written permission.
Comments and user conduct
If you comment on a post where commenting is enabled, you agree not to:
- Post spam, unrelated advertising, or malicious links
- Harass, threaten, or abuse other visitors or us
- Post anything illegal, defamatory, or infringing on someone else’s rights
We reserve the right to remove any comment, and to block any visitor from commenting, at our discretion — no lengthy justification required.
Our content and intellectual property
Articles, graphics, and the OwlSolarNews name and logo are our property (or used with permission) and are protected by copyright. This doesn’t apply to third-party content we embed or link to (like YouTube videos or third-party data/charts), which remains the property of its original owner.
Our coverage reflects our honest editorial judgment
Articles, analysis, and any product coverage on this site reflect our genuine opinion at the time of publication. Where we cover a specific product (like solar panels, inverters, or EV chargers), we don’t guarantee it will perform for you exactly as described — individual results, units, installation conditions, and use cases vary. See our Disclosure page for how we handle products or access we’ve received for free, and how that never changes what we actually say.
Affiliate links and third-party sites
Some links on this site are affiliate links, and some link out to third-party retailers, manufacturers, or other websites entirely outside our control. We’re not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, or practices of any third-party site you reach through a link on OwlSolarNews.
No warranty
This site, and everything on it, is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We work to keep information accurate and current, but we don’t guarantee it’s error-free, complete, or up to date at every moment. Energy policy, incentives, and technology specs change — always confirm current details (like rebates or tax credits) with an official source before making a purchasing or installation decision.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OwlSolarNews is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site — including damages resulting from a product or installer we covered, a third-party site we linked to, or an outage or security issue affecting infrastructure outside our direct control (see our Privacy Policy’s Data Security section for more on that).
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after a change means you’ve accepted the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
