Editorial Independence & Rate Audit Policy

Electric utility rate riders, VPP capacity caps, and demand charges change through formal regulatory dockets. Our editorial desk follows strict verification rules:

  • No Pay-to-Rank Formulas: Utility rankings, tariff winners, and hardware payout outputs are computed strictly from published tariff formulas—never altered by installer sponsorships.
  • Docket-Triggered Updates: Pages are re-audited whenever a state commission issues a new rate order, seasonal VPP enrollment bulletin, or capacity waitlist update.
  • Fast Correction Protocol: If an installer or homeowner flags a revised utility adjustment factor or rider change, we verify the tariff sheet and update our JSON dataset within 48 hours.
