Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 25, 2026
Simple Plug-in Solar earns commissions when you purchase products through our links. This doesn't affect our recommendations — we recommend products based on quality and value for you, not what pays us the most.
How We Make Money
Simple Plug-in Solar participates in various affiliate marketing programs. When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or manufacturer.
Our affiliate partnerships include:
- Amazon Associates
- Direct partnerships with solar equipment manufacturers
- Commission Junction (CJ) affiliate network
- ShareASale affiliate network
How This Affects You
It doesn't change the price you pay. Affiliate commissions come from the retailer's marketing budget, not from an increase in your price. You pay the same price whether you come through our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Editorial Independence
We maintain strict editorial independence. Our product recommendations are based on:
- Product quality and specifications
- Value for money (price vs. performance)
- Customer reviews and ratings
- Suitability for different use cases
- Manufacturer reputation and warranty support
Commission rates do not influence our rankings or recommendations. We will never recommend a inferior product just because it pays a higher commission.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Links to products on our site may be affiliate links. We clearly mark external links with an icon (↗) and all affiliate links include proper "sponsored" relationship tags as required by the FTC.
Direct Product Sales
Some products on our site may be sold directly by Simple Plug-in Solar. In these cases, we earn the full retail margin rather than a commission. These products are clearly labeled as "Ships direct from Simple Plug-in Solar."
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We are committed to full transparency about our business model and how we earn revenue.
Product Warranties and Support
Simple Plug-in Solar is not responsible for product warranties, returns, or support. These are handled directly by the manufacturer or retailer you purchase from. We provide educational information and facilitate connections to products, but we are not the seller (except where explicitly stated).
