Disclosure

Effective date: July 28, 2026

Our Commitment to Transparency

Transparency matters to me. This Disclosure explains who I am, how Dave’s Energy Solutions operates, the types of professional and business relationships I maintain, and how I may be compensated when someone uses a link, accepts an introduction, enrolls in a program, or purchases a product or service that I share.

This website is owned and operated by David “Dave” Brown under the name Dave’s Energy Solutions. References to “Dave Brown,” “Dave’s Energy Solutions,” “I,” “me,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to the website owner and business.

My role is to educate, ask better questions, identify overlooked opportunities, and connect homeowners, renters, businesses, organizations, contractors, and professionals with resources that may fit their circumstances.

Energy Advisory Role

Dave Brown is a Certified Energy Advisor through the Think+ Network.

Within the scope of my training, certification, experience, and authorized relationships, I may provide education and guidance concerning energy options, electricity programs, energy supply, energy efficiency, utility costs, and related services.

My certification and advisory role do not mean that I am a utility company, government agency, professional engineer, licensed electrician, energy auditor, electrical contractor, or representative of every company or program discussed on this website.

Affiliate, Referral, and Business Relationships

Dave Brown and Dave’s Energy Solutions maintain independent business relationships with certain companies, programs, platforms, providers, contractors, consultants, and professionals.

These relationships may include:

  • Affiliate relationships
  • Referral relationships
  • Advisory relationships
  • Connector or introduction relationships
  • Dealer or independent sales relationships
  • Marketing or promotional relationships
  • Consulting or development relationships
  • Revenue-sharing arrangements

The existence of one type of relationship with a provider should not be interpreted as creating the same relationship with every company, product, program, or professional mentioned on this website.

How I May Be Compensated

Some pages and communications may contain affiliate or referral links. If you click one of these links, register, enroll, schedule an appointment, purchase a product or service, or proceed through an introduction I provide, I may receive compensation.

Compensation may include:

  • Affiliate commissions
  • Referral fees
  • Sales commissions
  • Dealer or connector compensation
  • Consulting or development fees
  • Revenue shares
  • Marketing compensation
  • Other performance-based compensation

Unless clearly stated otherwise by the applicable provider, using one of my links or introductions does not add an extra charge to your purchase. You are never required to use my link, accept my introduction, or proceed with a provider I mention.

Where appropriate, I will also place a shorter affiliate disclosure near content containing affiliate links so that the relationship is visible before a decision is made.

Independent Providers

Many products, services, programs, installations, evaluations, and professional services discussed on this website are offered or performed by independent third parties.

Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, Dave Brown and Dave’s Energy Solutions do not own, operate, manage, or control those third-party businesses. Each provider is responsible for its own:

  • Products and services
  • Pricing and contract terms
  • Licensing, insurance, and regulatory compliance
  • Workmanship and warranties
  • Customer service and business practices
  • Privacy, security, and data-handling practices
  • Approval, eligibility, availability, and final results

An introduction reflects my role as a connector and resource. It does not remove your responsibility to review the provider, agreement, qualifications, pricing, and terms before proceeding.

Product Recommendations, Reviews, and Sponsored Content

I may discuss, demonstrate, compare, recommend, or review products, programs, platforms, services, books, technology, or other resources. These discussions may include personal opinions, professional observations, provider information, or my own experience.

I may occasionally receive commissions, referral compensation, discounted access, complimentary products, services, or another material benefit connected to content or a recommendation. When a material relationship exists, I will make a reasonable effort to disclose it clearly.

Compensation does not guarantee a favorable opinion. I aim to share resources I believe may be useful, but you should decide whether a particular product or service is appropriate for your circumstances.

Testimonials, Case Studies, and Results

This website may include testimonials, customer experiences, success stories, case studies, savings examples, performance information, or estimated outcomes.

These examples describe particular people, properties, businesses, or circumstances. They do not promise that every person will receive the same or similar result. Outcomes may vary because of location, eligibility, usage, property conditions, equipment, participation, provider availability, market conditions, and other factors.

Testimonials may be edited for length, spelling, grammar, or clarity without intentionally changing their meaning.

Business and Income Opportunities

I may share information about affiliate, connector, referral, dealer, sales, marketing, or entrepreneurial opportunities. If I benefit when someone joins or participates through me, that is a material business relationship.

Income examples, commission illustrations, or success stories are not promises or guarantees. Individual results depend on experience, skills, relationships, effort, participation, market conditions, and other personal and business factors.

Professional Boundaries

I am an advisor within specific areas in which I have training, certification, experience, or an authorized professional role. My use of the terms “advisor,” “connector,” or “resource” should not be interpreted as claiming every type of professional license or authority.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, Dave Brown and Dave’s Energy Solutions are not acting as:

  • Attorneys or legal professionals
  • Accountants, tax professionals, or customs brokers
  • Financial advisors, investment advisors, securities professionals, or fiduciaries
  • Insurance agents or insurance advisors
  • Healthcare providers or medical professionals
  • Real estate agents, brokers, appraisers, or mortgage professionals
  • Professional engineers, electricians, contractors, solar installers, or licensed building professionals
  • Government agencies, public utilities, or regulatory authorities

When a matter requires specialized or licensed professional advice, I may provide an introduction to an appropriate professional. You should rely on that professional for advice within their licensed or specialized area.

Program Availability and Individual Circumstances

Products, services, rates, programs, savings opportunities, incentives, pricing, financing, tax benefits, and eligibility may vary by location, utility territory, property type, ownership, usage, billing history, credit approval, provider availability, and program requirements.

Programs and provider relationships may change. An assessment, application, provider review, or direct conversation may be required before availability, eligibility, pricing, approval, or enrollment can be confirmed.

Third-Party Links

This website may link to third-party websites, videos, applications, scheduling tools, platforms, marketplaces, providers, and other external resources. These links may be informational, affiliate, referral, or partner links.

Third-party websites are governed by their own terms, disclosures, privacy policies, security practices, and business policies. I encourage you to review those materials before providing personal information or entering into an agreement.

Changes to This Disclosure

This Disclosure may be updated when my qualifications, services, business relationships, compensation arrangements, or website practices change. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version.
