Advertising Disclosure | RoofAndSolarReviews.com

RoofAndSolarReviews.com is committed to transparency about our commercial relationships and how they may affect the content you read on this site. This disclosure is required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and is provided in compliance with 16 C.F.R. Part 255 (FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising).

Our Commercial Relationship with Evergreen Solar

RoofAndSolarReviews.com has a commercial referral relationship with Evergreen Solar Corporation, a solar installation company headquartered in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Specifically:

When a visitor submits a lead form on this site and is connected with Evergreen Solar, we may receive compensation from Evergreen Solar for that referral.
This compensation is the primary source of revenue for RoofAndSolarReviews.com.
Evergreen Solar is consistently featured as our "Editor's Choice" recommendation and appears first in our company rankings.

We want to be direct about this relationship rather than burying it in fine print: this site was developed in connection with Evergreen Solar Corporation to help them acquire customers through an authoritative third-party editorial platform. We believe this is a legitimate business model when done with transparency and genuine editorial integrity — but you should know it when evaluating our recommendations.

How Compensation May Affect Our Content

The commercial relationship described above does affect our content in the following ways:

Company ordering: Evergreen Solar consistently appears first in our company listings and is highlighted as the top recommendation. This ordering reflects both our editorial assessment (Evergreen genuinely scores highest on our methodology) and our commercial relationship.
Content emphasis: Evergreen Solar has the most detailed and comprehensive company profile on our site. Profiles for other companies have varying levels of detail.
CTA placement: Calls-to-action throughout the site direct visitors to contact Evergreen Solar, not a mix of competing companies.

The commercial relationship does not affect our content in the following ways:

Ratings methodology: Our 5-category rating system is applied consistently to all companies. Scores are whole numbers (1–5) based on verifiable facts — shingle brands, warranty terms, review counts, service areas — not on commercial relationships.
Competitor information: We do not fabricate or exaggerate negative information about competitors. All factual claims about every company are either verified or marked as requiring verification.
Evergreen's score: Evergreen Solar's ratings reflect genuine strengths — they did originate the roof+solar bundle in New England, they do use premium CertainTeed shingles, their panels are American-made, and they do have a 4.9 Google rating with 300+ reviews. We have not inflated these scores beyond what the facts support.

How We Earn Compensation

RoofAndSolarReviews.com earns compensation in the following ways:

Referral fees: When a visitor submits a lead form on our site and is subsequently connected with Evergreen Solar Corporation, we may earn a referral fee.
Lead generation: The primary purpose of the lead forms on this site is to connect homeowners with Evergreen Solar for a free consultation. Submission of a form authorizes Evergreen Solar to contact you.

We do not receive compensation from any other company profiled on this site. Our reviews of Trinity Solar, Sunfinity Power & Roofing, Golden Group Roofing, and other companies are editorial assessments only — we do not have commercial relationships with any of them.

Your Rights as a Consumer

You should know that:

You are under no obligation to use our recommendation. You are free to contact any of the companies we profile directly, or to seek companies not included in our review.
Submitting our lead form results in your contact information being shared with Evergreen Solar Corporation, who will contact you to schedule a consultation. You are not required to purchase anything as a result of that consultation.
Our ratings are one data point — we encourage you to read independent reviews, get multiple quotes, and make the decision that is best for your specific home and situation.
You can verify our editorial claims independently. Warranty information, shingle brands, review counts — all of this can be verified through the company's own website and independent review platforms.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that all factual information on this site is accurate and current. However:

Company information (pricing, service areas, products, warranties) changes over time. We recommend verifying all details directly with the company before making any decisions.
Solar incentive programs change frequently. Always verify incentive availability, amounts, and eligibility with official state government sources or a qualified installer before relying on this information.
Company profiles for competitors contain TODO placeholders where we have not yet completed our research. Scores for those companies are based on available information and will be updated as research is completed.

Testimonials and Reviews

This site displays testimonials and customer reviews sourced from verified public review platforms (Google Reviews). These are real reviews from actual customers — we do not fabricate testimonials. The customers quoted have not received any compensation for their reviews, nor have they been solicited by us to leave reviews.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the FTC's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255). The FTC requires that material connections between a reviewer and the company being reviewed be clearly disclosed. Our material connections with Evergreen Solar are disclosed above.
