Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
If you contact us through our Contact Us page or by email, we collect whatever information you choose to include, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry.
Calculator Inputs
The appliance names, wattages, hours, and system preferences you enter into our free electrical calculator are processed entirely in your browser to generate your results. We do not collect, store, or transmit these calculator inputs to our servers.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and referring website. This is collected through standard analytics tools described below.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function as intended if you do.
Analytics Tools
We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand Site traffic and usage patterns. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses this data and opt out where available through Google’s own privacy tools.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some blog posts on this Site may contain affiliate links to third-party products (such as solar panels, batteries, or inverters). If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Any post containing affiliate links will include a clear disclosure statement near the top of that post.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect any information you provide to us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
