This service is a not-for-profit project of Energy Matters who relies primarily upon revenues from its other activities, and site supporters, to maintain this as a free public service. Our original partner and funder is the California Energy Commission. Over the years, additional support has been provided by several nonprofits and government agencies including: Renewable Energy Long Island, the US Department of Energy, the Canadian Wind Energy Association, Global Possibilities, the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) *. Additional support has been provided by individuals or companies that made contributions in support of our work. We thank these entities for their support.
Energy Matters has developed several other successful and proprietary software tools, including EnergyPeriscope.com, to facilitate the adoption and growth of solar and renewable energy in the United States and Canada. Energy Matters produced the television programs "This Renewable House", "Sunny & Friends", and a series of renewable energy public service announcements featuring Lee Iacocca. The company is also an authorized IRS e-file tax return partner (See: Taxhead.com). Press Releases: |

* - Our technology and work was responsible for placing "FindSolar.com" on the map. However, we no longer endorse nor recommend, nor are we in any way affiliated with "Findsolar.com" (a.k.a. CoolerPlanet.com) which has now become a commercial site that collects and sells consumer information under the auspices of the American Solar Energy Society (ASES).

SOLAR-ESTIMATE.ORG is a free, public service. We believe the efficient use of energy and renewable energy systems makes for comfortable living and a more secure future. So we want to help you reduce your energy demands, increase your energy efficiency and help you utilize more energy from renewable energy systems and sources -- like solar electric (PV - photovoltaics), solar space (air), water & pool heating, wind turbines, biomass furnaces and ground-source heat pumps. Our mission is to serve as a convenient, user-friendly means for home and small commercial building owners to make preliminary evaluations of renewable and solar energy options for their location, run financial analysis and help find and verify the experience, quality and business status of certified solar contractors, and other professionals who can design, install and service renewable and solar energy and energy efficient power systems. (See How It Works). As a business verification service, we maintain the largest directory of current local solar installer and solar contractor profiles including extensive customer reviews and ratings of these professionals. Profiles are not limited to solar energy professionals, but include many other renewable energy, design, engineering and support professional services. We also serve as a consolidator of national and region-specific solar and energy efficiency programs, and utility information about renewable energy, solar energy and energy efficient measures. Our software tools and content include: Online solar estimator (solar calculator, analysis) to help you determine the costs and benefits of a renewable or solar energy system for your particular location and building needs, including financial analysis tools. We also provide a trusted means by which you, as a consumer, can review and access solar panel installers, solar contractors, solar pros and other solar, renewable energy and energy efficiency professional services. And we offer answers to frequently asked questions about renewable and solar power, links and resources to current information about solar power, solar energy, renewable energy, energy bill savings, energy efficiency data, solar incentives, tax credits, rebates and other programs and helpful information so you can learn about solar energy, help us promote renewable and solar power adoption and, hopefully, install a solar system for your home, building, company or community and/or improve your energy efficiency and use.
