This website is operated under the name Dave’s Energy Solutions by Dave Brown, an independent connector, advisor, and resource.

The website provides general educational information about energy, energy efficiency, water efficiency, utility costs, solar, technology, programs, business resources, professional services, and other opportunities that may be available through independent companies, service providers, installers, professionals, affiliates, and partner networks.

Information on this website is intended to help visitors better understand possible options. It is not a substitute for a property-specific, business-specific, technical, legal, financial, engineering, tax, or professional evaluation.

2. Educational Information Only

The information provided on this website is for general educational and informational purposes only.

Dave Brown and Dave’s Energy Solutions do not provide legal, tax, accounting, engineering, investment, financial-planning, utility-regulatory, or other licensed professional advice.

When specialized advice or analysis is required, visitors should work directly with an appropriately licensed, certified, or qualified professional.

3. No Guarantee of Savings or Results

Results vary based on many factors, including property condition, building design, equipment, utility rates, usage patterns, climate, location, eligibility, installation quality, program requirements, customer behavior, financing terms, and service-provider performance.

Any references to potential savings, efficiency improvements, performance, payback periods, incentives, rebates, tax benefits, income, revenue, commissions, or other outcomes are estimates, examples, or general information unless expressly stated otherwise in a written agreement from the responsible provider.

4. Products, Services, Programs, and Availability

Products, services, installers, utility programs, financing, incentives, rates, technologies, promotions, and eligibility requirements vary by location and may change without notice.

Some options may be available only in certain states, provinces, utility territories, markets, property types, or customer classifications.

The final terms of any product, service, program, installation, enrollment, purchase, financing arrangement, or professional engagement are controlled by the applicable provider’s agreement, contract, disclosures, policies, warranties, and terms.

5. Independent Relationships and Compensation

Dave Brown and Dave’s Energy Solutions operate independently and are not a utility company, government agency, law firm, accounting firm, engineering firm, bank, investment firm, or direct employee of every company, provider, platform, or professional referenced on this website.

Dave Brown may maintain independent affiliate, referral, advisory, marketing, connector, sales, brokerage, dealer, contractor, or partnership relationships with certain companies and professionals.

Dave Brown or Dave’s Energy Solutions may receive a commission, referral fee, affiliate payment, revenue share, marketing compensation, or other compensation if a visitor purchases, enrolls, registers, schedules, or moves forward through certain links, introductions, or professional relationships.
