Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated March 23, 2026

We earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through links on this site. You pay the same price. Our data doesn't change either way.

How We Make Money

OffGridEmpire participates in affiliate programs with solar equipment retailers and manufacturers. When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase, we receive a small commission from the retailer. The price you pay is identical whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

Affiliate commissions are our primary revenue source. We do not charge for access to the comparison tool, and we do not accept payment from manufacturers to alter kit scores, completeness ratings, or real build cost calculations.
