About MagaSolar

Who We Are

MagaSolar is an information resource for American homeowners who want straight talk about solar energy — the economics, the equipment, the incentives, and the fight against utility monopolies.

We’re not solar industry boosters. We’re not environmentalists. We’re Americans who’ve done the homework and believe that energy independence, American manufacturing, and property rights matter.

This site is part of the Energy Sovereignty information campaign — a multi-property initiative connecting homeowners with accurate solar information across different motivational profiles. Our audience is the America First homeowner: fed up with the utility monopoly, skeptical of green marketing hype, committed to American manufacturing, and ready to take action when the numbers make sense.

How We Make Money

Lead generation — not product sales.

Our primary call to action connects you with vetted local installers for a free energy audit. If you request an audit and ultimately hire one of those installers, we receive a referral fee.

That’s it. We don’t sell panels. We don’t have affiliate links to Amazon shopping lists. We don’t take advertising from solar companies that would compromise our editorial independence.

This model only works if we send you to good installers with accurate information. Bad referrals destroy credibility. We take that seriously.

Our Editorial Standards

Data accuracy is non-negotiable. The populist voice is how we say things. The data is what we say. We never sacrifice one for the other.

Sources We Accept

• U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) — Rate data, consumption, pricing
• National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) — Solar resource, system costs, reliability
• Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory — Home value research, installation market data
• National Association of Realtors (NAR) — Buyer surveys, home sale data
• IRS.gov — Tax credit guidance, Form 5695
• DSIRE (dsireusa.org) — State incentive database
• SEIA — Industry trade data, domestic content, state market reports
• Manufacturer public filings — For Buy American claims

Sources We Don’t Accept

Advocacy organizations of any stripe — environmental, industry, political — are not cited as primary data sources. We cite the raw data from government agencies and academic research. Advocacy groups may have agendas. Government data agencies publish what they measure.

Standards for Claims

• All data claims include a named source
• ROI projections state their assumptions explicitly (rate escalation %, base bill, system cost)
• Limitations are acknowledged consistently (“based on national averages,” “individual results vary”)
• When numbers don’t work for a reader’s situation, we say so directly. Credibility is everything.

What We Don’t Cover

Environmental framing — ever.

This site does not use environmental guilt, climate urgency, or “save the planet” framing. Not as a primary argument. Not as a secondary benefit. Not as a footnote.

This is about money, independence, and American manufacturing. Period.

If environmental benefits are a factor in your decision, that’s your business. We’re not here to sell that message — there are thousands of websites that do. Our audience responds to different things: financial returns, American jobs, property rights, and sticking it to monopolies. That’s what we write about.

What We’re Upfront About

• Subsidies: The ITC exists. Leaving money on the table that your neighbors are taking is a choice, not a principle.
• Chinese panels: We’re transparent about country of origin, always.
• When solar doesn’t pencil: If your usage is low, your rates are low, or your roof isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. A bad solar deal is bad for our credibility, not just your wallet.
• Limitations of our projections: Every projection on this site states its assumptions. Verify with your specific utility rates, your specific roof conditions, and a local installer.
