Financial Projections Disclaimer

This applies to every savings figure, payback period, incentive estimate and projection published on this website, produced by the savings calculator, or included in a OneWorld Solar proposal.

OneWorld Solar financial projections and representations are estimates only and cannot be relied upon alone to make a financial decision. The projections are based on assumptions that are out of OneWorld Solar's control. REAP grants, Tax Credit and PV Savings are the responsibility of the client to procure and validate. OneWorld Solar only makes estimations based on past experience with similar customers. The customer is responsible for verifying all tax information with a Certified Tax Accountant. PV income may be taxable even if it is avoided cost. Tax consequences could be offset by interest expense if client chooses to finance the transaction. Solar power generates power during daylight hours and will not have an impact on evening usage. Utilities may set a customer's peak demand during times when solar is not effective or during a cloudy or rainy day. While Solar Power will reduce the customer's overall kW usage, it cannot be expected to mitigate a customer's peak demand. OneWorld Solar is not responsible for future peak demand increases and rate changes by the Utilities. The customer is responsible for contacting its local utility account representative to verify savings.

What this means in practice

Everything on this site that involves a number about your money is an estimate based on past projects with similar customers. Three points are worth restating plainly:

  • Grants and tax credits are yours to procure and validate. We prepare the technical documentation an application or a claim needs. We do not, and cannot, guarantee that a USDA REAP grant, the federal investment tax credit or Section 179 treatment will be awarded or allowed in your case.
  • Verify tax matters with a Certified Tax Accountant. We are a solar contractor. Tax advice is not our profession and nothing on this site should be read as it.
  • Solar does not solve peak demand on its own. A utility can set your peak demand at a moment when the array is not producing. Reducing kilowatt-hours and reducing peak demand are two different problems — which is why we discuss battery storage separately.

Where this disclaimer appears

The same text is shown with the results of the commercial solar savings calculator, on every commercial solar incentives page, and on articles that discuss cost or payback. It is stored once, in content/legal/disclaimer.md, so every copy stays identical.
