Figures you can check
Every number on this site carries its source and the date we last looked at it. Where the honest answer is "it depends", we say so and show the method instead of inventing a headline figure.
- We are not an installer, and we do not carry out any work.
- We sell no equipment and take no payment from any manufacturer.
- We publish no single payback figure, because no honest one exists.
- Installers pay us for the introduction, so the service is free to you.
