Editorial Policy
How we plan, write, review, and update the content on Front Range Solar Guide.
Mission
Front Range Solar Guide exists to help Colorado homeowners make informed solar decisions. We publish practical guidance, original research, verified data, and expert answers — never sales copy dressed as journalism.
Homeowner-first principles
- Answer the reader's real question directly and honestly.
- Show trade-offs, limitations, and uncertainty rather than hide them.
- Never pressure readers into a decision or a provider.
Source and fact-checking expectations
Every factual claim about utility rules, incentives, tax credits, permitting, financing, or provider offerings must be tied to a verifiable source and pass our weekly information verification review. See our source policy.
Human review
Human editors review every published article, resource, expert answer, and research report. Subject-matter reviewers review content within their verified area of expertise.
AI-assisted drafting
We may use AI tools to assist with research summarization or drafting. AI output is never published without human review, source verification, and editorial approval. See our AI-assisted content policy.
Provider claims and comparison content
Provider-specific claims must be sourced from the provider or a verified public record. Comparisons use neutral language and consistent fields. See our comparison methodology.
Corrections and updating
See our corrections policy. Material corrections are labeled and preserved. We do not silently overwrite published errors.
Commercial relationships
See commercial relationships for full disclosure.
Privacy
We never publish private homeowner questions, electric bills, proposals, contracts, or messages. Research and public data are always aggregated with a minimum privacy threshold.
