Editorial Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026.

At Inverter HQ, our goal is to publish the most accurate, useful, and trustworthy content about solar PV systems and inverters that we can. Here is exactly how we do it.

Who writes our content

Every article is written by a named human author with relevant, hands-on experience. Our lead author is Arjun Mehta — a decade around residential and small-commercial solar, covering array sizing, inverter commissioning, battery integration, and performance monitoring. Author details appear on each post. (“Arjun Mehta” is the consistent editorial byline for the site.)

How we research

We start from primary sources: manufacturer datasheets and manuals, published standards, first-hand field testing, and real monitoring data. We prefer original data and hands-on findings over rehashing what other sites say. Where numbers matter — efficiency, sizing, losses — we show our working. We do not scrape, spin, or auto-publish unedited content.

How we write

Content is written to be people-first: clear, specific, and genuinely helpful for homeowners, prosumers, and DIYers who want to understand and run their own solar setups. We aim for a practical, plain-language voice at roughly a grade 8–9 reading level, and we prioritize solving the reader’s problem over stuffing keywords.

How we review and fact-check

Before publishing, each article is reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and completeness. We verify factual claims, sanity-check calculations, confirm that links work and point to reputable sources, and make sure any safety-critical guidance is correctly caveated — including a clear reminder to use a licensed installer or electrician for electrical work.

How we handle updates

Solar technology and best practice change over time. We periodically review and update older articles, refreshing facts, product references, and recommendations. Significantly updated posts show a revised date.

How we correct mistakes

We are not perfect. If we get something wrong, we fix it. Spotted an error? Email [email protected]. We review every report, correct confirmed errors promptly, and note substantive corrections transparently.

Editorial independence

Advertising never dictates our conclusions. Inverter HQ plans to display ads through Google AdSense, but ads are managed separately from our editorial work and do not influence what we recommend. We do not currently participate in any affiliate programs, so no article is shaped by commissions.

AI and automation

Where we use tools to assist research or drafting, a human author reviews, edits, fact-checks, and takes responsibility for every published word. We do not publish unreviewed machine-generated text, and we never let a tool make a safety call in place of qualified human judgment.
