About 1solar.in

1solar.in is an independent website that helps homeowners and small businesses decide whether solar is worth it for them. We publish free calculators, practical guides, and solar news from around the world. We do not sell panels, and no manufacturer, installer, or government pays for our articles.

How articles are written

Many articles are drafted with the help of AI, from public sources such as government energy agencies, regulators, research bodies, and established trade publications. Every draft is then checked automatically against those sources before it is published. Claims the sources do not support are removed or the article is held back.

• Each article lists the sources it was checked against, and the date it was last checked.
• Articles about safety and installation work are always read by a person before they are published.
• We never give step-by-step electrical or rooftop instructions. That work needs a qualified installer.
• Incentives, tariffs, and net metering rules change often, so we ask readers to confirm them with the official source.

How the calculators work

The calculators run in your browser. They use published climate data for your location and the standard formulas engineers use for solar output, battery sizing, and payback. Results are estimates, and a site survey by an installer will always be more exact.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, we correct it and note the change on the article. Articles that go out of date are updated or removed.
