3.1 Informational Purpose Only ALL CONTENT AND TOOLS ON THIS SITE ARE PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Nothing on this Site constitutes, or is intended to constitute, licensed electrical advice, professional engineering advice, contractor recommendations, or any regulated professional service. USE OF THIS SITE DOES NOT CREATE ANY PROFESSIONAL-CLIENT, CONTRACTOR-CLIENT, OR FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND. 3.2 Calculator Outputs Are Estimates Only All computational tools on this Site — including the Panel Capacity Calculator, Heat Pump Sizing Calculator, Energy Savings Calculator, Rebate Finder, and any future tools — generate estimates based on user-provided inputs and simplified calculation methodologies. These estimates are NOT professional engineering advice, NOT a substitute for on-site evaluation by a licensed professional, and NOT a guarantee of any outcome. Rebate and incentive information is sourced from publicly available data and may not reflect current program status, eligibility requirements, funding availability, or application deadlines. Rebate estimates are not guarantees of eligibility or payment. Verify all rebate information with program administrators before making purchasing decisions. 3.3 State and Local Code Variability The National Electrical Code (NEC) is a model code. Each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and thousands of local jurisdictions adopts the NEC with its own amendments. Users bear sole responsibility for verifying all applicable local requirements with a licensed professional and their local AHJ before taking any action. 3.4 No Guarantee of Permit Approval or Installation Outcome A calculator output indicating a panel "passes" or has available capacity is an estimate only. It does not guarantee permit approval, code compliance, utility approval, or a successful installation.
