Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how SolarCal may collect, use, and protect information when you use this website.
SolarCal is a UK-focused solar calculator and information website. It provides general estimates, guides, affiliate links, and partner links. We do not install solar panels, provide formal quotes directly, or arrange surveys ourselves.
Information we may collect
We may collect basic website usage information, such as pages viewed, calculator interactions, button clicks, affiliate link clicks, device type, browser type, approximate location, and traffic source.
If forms are added in the future, we may collect information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, phone number, postcode, property details, and installation preferences.
Calculator information
The solar calculator may process information such as monthly electricity bill, home size, region, roof direction, shading, daytime usage, battery interest, EV ownership, and installation timeframe.
This information is used to create an estimate and may also be used in anonymous analytics events to understand how visitors use the calculator.
How we use information
We use information to operate the website, improve calculator results, understand which pages and buttons are useful, track affiliate clicks, measure website performance, and improve content.
If lead forms are added later, submitted information may be used to connect users with relevant solar, battery, EV charger, or home energy partners.
Analytics and tracking
This website may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to measure website visits, page views, calculator completions, quote button clicks, affiliate clicks, and other interactions.
Analytics tools may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings.
Affiliate links and partner websites
Some links on this website may be affiliate links or partner links. If you click one of these links, the partner website may receive tracking information showing that you came from SolarCal.
Partner websites are responsible for their own privacy policies, cookie policies, quote processes, products, services, and customer support.

Third-party services
This website may use third-party services such as Google Analytics, Vercel hosting, affiliate networks, quote partners, product retailers, and other tools needed to operate and monetise the site.
These third parties may process information according to their own policies and terms.
Data security
We take reasonable steps to keep the website secure. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
