Contact Our Research & Engineering Team.
HowMuchSolarCost.com is an independent research project and simulator network. To maintain our focus on editorial quality, we keep our communications direct and focused. Every inquiry is reviewed and addressed by the contributors who maintain the site.
Who reads your message?
Depending on the subject tag you select in your email, your inquiry is directly routed to one of our core members' personal dashboards:
Emma Hayes
Lead Editorial Researcher
Emma validates regional sunlight statistics, utility tariffs, solar panel efficiency degradation coefficients, and state net metering schedules. If you find a data out-of-date error, she will review and update the database.
Daniel Cross
Lead Product Engineer
Daniel designs the calculator math engines, payback compound formulas, manages API outputs, and coordinates page load performance (Core Web Vitals). Write to him for any math bugs or UI display errors.
Why we keep communications email-only
By avoiding phone systems and automated ticket software, we save hundreds of hours in operational overhead. This savings allows us to focus 100% of our energy on creating highly complex, accurate mathematical tools and making them accessible completely free of charge. We aim to reply to all legitimate, non-automated inquiries within 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before sending a manual message, check our quick-help guide below. Many common inquiries are answered here instantly:
Yes! Educational institutions, real estate publications, green energy groups, and independent journalists are highly encouraged to link to and use our calculators. We support the open-source dissemination of data-driven energy analysis. For custom iframe embed requests or licensing of our calculation engines, please contact us under the [Commercial / Licensing] tag.
Our state electricity tariffs, net metering policies, and solar hardware indices are updated on a quarterly basis. We source our data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), NREL, and state regulatory utilities. If your local utility provider has changed its net metering policy (e.g., NEM 3.0), please send an update request using the [Data / Rate Update] tag with a direct link to the utility bulletin.
Absolutely not. To protect our readers and maintain our editorial standards, we reject 100% of guest posts, paid link insertions, and sponsored placement pitches. We write all our research internally and back it up with data analysis. Automated outreach emails of this nature are classified as spam immediately.
Yes! We cooperate with green energy projects, educational programs, and local councils to configure customized solar generation engines. If you have unique solar sizing datasets or wish to adapt tools to a specific local utility, please reach out via the [Commercial / Licensing] tag.
