Affiliate Disclosure
Effective date: September 5, 2026
How The LOTS Project Is Supported
The LOTS Project publishes practical information, videos, product reviews and real-world project updates. Some of this work is supported through affiliate links, referral programs, sponsorships and products provided by companies.
If you follow certain links or use a referral code, I may receive a commission, service credit, product or other compensation. This generally does not increase the price you pay.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Affiliate Links
Some links on The LOTS Project website are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, I may earn a commission from the retailer or affiliate network.
Affiliate relationships may include Amazon Associates and companies that sell solar equipment, tools, technology, Bitcoin products, off-grid equipment and other products relevant to the projects documented here. These relationships can change over time.
I place a short disclosure near affiliate links, product recommendations and reviews whenever practical. This page provides additional information but does not replace those link-level disclosures.
Referral Programs
Some links may be referral links rather than traditional affiliate links. If you sign up or make a purchase through one of these links, I may receive cash, account credit, service credit, discounted service or another reward. In some programs, you may also receive a benefit when using the referral link.
Sponsored Content
A company may occasionally pay The LOTS Project to sponsor a video, article, livestream, podcast episode or project. Sponsored content will be identified in or near the relevant content.
Payment does not guarantee a positive review, prevent me from discussing problems or give a sponsor control over my opinions.
Free, Discounted or Loaned Products
Companies may provide products for free, offer discounted equipment or loan products for testing or review. When that relationship applies, I will disclose it with the relevant content.
Receiving a product does not guarantee that it will receive coverage or a favorable recommendation. I may identify good features, problems, limitations and situations in which I would not recommend it.
Editorial Independence
The opinions published by The LOTS Project are my own. Recommendations are based on my experience, testing, research and the conditions under which I used the product.
My results may not match yours. Products, prices, specifications and availability can change, and a product that works for one project may not be appropriate for another. You should compare current specifications, prices and requirements before making a purchase.
No Guarantee of the Best Price
Using an affiliate link normally does not cost you anything extra, but it does not guarantee the lowest available price. Prices, discounts and promotions are controlled by the retailer and may change without notice.
External Websites and Purchases
Purchases made through affiliate or referral links are transactions between you and the outside retailer or service provider. The LOTS Project does not control their websites, ordering systems, shipping, returns, warranties, privacy practices or customer service.
