Affiliate Disclosure

What you need to know in 30 seconds

S.E.T. — Sun Energy Technology — is an independent solar generator comparison site. We earn affiliate commissions when readers buy through certain links on our pages. The retailer pays us — you pay the same price either way. We disclose this relationship on every page that contains affiliate links, in compliance with the FTC's Endorsement Guides.

Commissions help fund our hands-on testing, research, and the running of this site. They do not buy us. Our rankings reflect our independent judgment about which generators are actually worth buying for the use case in question.

S.E.T. participates in the following affiliate programs as of the date above:

What happens when you click a link

When you click an affiliate link on S.E.T. and complete a purchase on the retailer's website:

• The retailer's site sets a tracking cookie on your browser so the sale is attributed to S.E.T.
• If you complete a purchase within the cookie window (typically 24 hours for Amazon, 30 days for most Awin partners), the retailer pays us a small percentage of the order value.
• You pay the same price as anyone else — affiliate links do not raise the price you pay.
• The retailer is the seller of record. S.E.T. does not sell, ship, or warranty any product.

Affiliate links on this site are marked with rel="sponsored" or rel="noopener" attributes in the underlying HTML, per FTC guidance and search engine best practices.

Why commission rates don't change our rankings

This is the question that matters most: do you recommend higher-commission products?

No. Here is how we keep that line clean:

• Rankings are written before commissions are checked. Our reviewer scores a unit on capacity, build quality, real-world runtime, warranty, and price — then we look up which programs we can join. Not the other way around.
• We recommend products we don't earn from. Several "Top Pick" cards on this site link to retailers where we have no affiliate relationship at all. If a product is the right answer, we say so — commission or not.
• We disclose every affiliate-linked card. Every "Check Price" button that goes to a partner site is tagged in the HTML and disclosed in the banner at the top of every page.
• We don't accept payment for placement. No brand pays us to be a "Top Pick," to appear in a use-case section, or to be reviewed favorably. The only money that changes hands flows through the standard affiliate networks listed above, after a reader makes their own purchase decision.

What gets tracked and why

S.E.T. uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand which pages get traffic and which links readers find most useful. We do not sell personal data, build profiles for advertising networks, or share browsing data with third parties outside of these analytics and affiliate-tracking purposes.

When you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer's affiliate-tracking cookie is set on your browser. You can clear these cookies at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will not affect anything except whether a future purchase is attributed to S.E.T.
