Editorial policy
Every factual claim on HyreSolar is sourced to a named primary document with a retrieval date. This is the policy that governs that work: what we publish, what we will not, how we expect to make money, and what happens when something is wrong.
Who this binds. Every guide, study, calculator and FAQ on HyreSolar, and the Research Desk that writes them. No commercial arrangement overrides it.
How does HyreSolar source its claims?
HyreSolar sources factual claims to primary material: federal agencies, state commissions, national laboratories and utilities’ own tariff documents.
A time-sensitive claim (a tax provision, an incentive program, an export rate) carries the date it was last checked. We link the source on the page rather than keeping it in a file somewhere. How the research figures are computed is on the methodology page.
What will HyreSolar not publish?
- Averages sold as prices. A national average price presented as though it were your price.
- Unsupported listings. Installer listings, ratings or reviews we cannot support from primary sources.
- Unevidenced proof. Testimonials, case studies, statistics, certifications or awards we cannot evidence.
- Unverified incentives. An incentive described as available when we have not verified that it currently is.
- Pages written to rank. Pages written for a search phrase rather than to answer a question.
What happens where the data is missing?
Where HyreSolar does not have verified data, the page says so. That is why the site carries no installer directory today: the research process behind one is still being built, and an empty framework described honestly is worth more than a populated one that cannot be defended.
How we vet solar professionals sets out the standard, and what we do not check.
How does HyreSolar expect to make money?
HyreSolar expects to earn revenue by connecting homeowners with solar professionals. That relationship will be disclosed wherever it applies, and it will not determine what the guidance says. Nobody can buy a placement, a ranking or a favorable description on this site. About HyreSolar says where the commercial terms stand today.
