1. Overview
Home Power Lab (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a reader-supported, independent testing and review website focused on home backup power systems, generators, portable batteries, and solar technology.
To keep this site operational and to support ongoing product testing, we participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This disclosure explains how those relationships work and how they may affect the content you see.
2. How Affiliate Links Work
Throughout this website, you will find outbound links directing you to products or services offered by third-party retailers or manufacturers. When you click those links and make a purchase:
- We may earn a commission at no additional cost to you
- The retailer places a standard tracking cookie on your device
- We do not see your payment information or order details
Affiliate links never influence the outcome of our testing or product ratings.
3. Amazon Associates Program
Home Power Lab is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
Amazon requires the following exact disclosure:
“As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.”
We display this statement on this page and in other required areas across the site.
4. Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon Associates, we may participate in affiliate programs through:
- Awin
- ShareASale
- Impact
- Commission Junction (CJ)
- Direct manufacturer partnerships
These relationships operate similarly: if you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.
5. Our Testing Independence
Although we earn commissions from some retailers, we maintain strict editorial independence. This means:
- We never accept payment for positive reviews
- We do not allow brands to influence our ratings
- We buy or borrow equipment ourselves when possible
- Test results are based on measurable performance, durability, and value
- Affiliate partnerships do not affect the order in which products are tested or recommended
If a manufacturer supplies a product for testing, this will be clearly disclosed in the review.
6. Why Affiliate Links Matter
Affiliate revenue allows Home Power Lab to:
- Purchase products for hands-on testing
- Maintain reliable hosting and security infrastructure
- Produce in-depth guides, charts, and comparison tools
- Keep the website free and accessible to all readers
Supporting us through affiliate links costs you nothing and directly contributes to the quality and longevity of our work.
7. Transparency Commitment
We believe trust is earned through transparency. Therefore:
- Any post containing affiliate links includes a disclosure at the top
- All recommendations are merit-based
- We only promote products we believe offer genuine value or performance
- You are never charged additional fees for supporting the site
Our priority is to help you make informed, safe, and cost-effective decisions about backup power equipment.
