How we make money
The site is paid when a homeowner it refers to a solar provider signs an agreement.
How the site is paid
California Rate Relief is an independent information and referral site. When a California homeowner asks for help, the site refers them to a solar provider. California Rate Relief is compensated when a referred homeowner signs an agreement.
What that means for a reader
- The guides, source links, calculators and checklists can be used without submitting an inquiry.
- A submission is not a quote, financing approval or program eligibility decision.
- A provider decides whether it can serve the project and what it can offer.
What the site is not
It does not install anything. It is not a utility, a contractor or a government agency.
Placement
As the methodology page states, the site does not accept payment for placement.
