Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of Bywatts. In plain terms: the site is a free, informational reference compiled from public and curated data sources. Use it freely and lawfully, but treat the data as a starting point, not as verified professional advice.
Acceptance
By accessing Bywatts (bywatts.pro) you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
What Bywatts is
Bywatts is a free, publicly accessible database and interactive map of US energy infrastructure (solar companies, installers, power plants, substations, transmission lines, and data centers), operated by Sunhub. It is provided for general information and research. No account or payment is required.
Paid services
Bywatts offers optional paid subscription plans (Pro and Featured) that unlock priority placement and other listing features for verified accounts. Paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe, our payment processor; we never receive or store your card details.
You can cancel at any time through the billing portal. Your plan stays active through the end of the period you already paid for, and we do not offer refunds for partial periods.
Paid placement is advertising: it changes where a listing appears and carries a clearly labeled “Sponsored” marker, but it does not imply endorsement, verification, or any assessment of quality by Sunhub.
Quote requests and introductions
The quote form introduces you to installers who have verified ownership of their listing. Bywatts is not a party to any agreement you reach with an installer, does not perform the work, and does not warrant any installer's work, licensing, pricing, or conduct. We make no guarantee that any installer will contact you, and if no verified installer covers your area we will tell you rather than pass your details to someone else.
Paid placement is advertising. It is not an endorsement and does not indicate that a listing is verified.
Data accuracy disclaimer
The information is aggregated from public sources (including HIFLD, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and PeeringDB) and curated industry data. It is provided “as is” and “as available.” It may contain errors, omissions, or out-of-date records, and geolocation is approximate. Nothing here is professional, legal, financial, engineering, or investment advice. Verify independently before relying on any record for a decision.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the site unlawfully or to infringe others' rights;
- attempt to disrupt, overload, or circumvent the security of the site or its APIs;
- scrape or bulk-download the content at a scale or manner that degrades the service, or to republish the compiled database wholesale as your own; or
- misrepresent the source of the data.
Reasonable, considerate automated access to public pages is fine; abusive access is not.
Intellectual property
The design, layout, original text, and the selection and arrangement of the database are © Sunhub. The underlying facts and public-source records are subject to their own licenses and are not owned by us. Company names and marks belong to their respective owners; their appearance in the directory does not imply endorsement.
Third-party data and links
The site links to and displays third-party information and loads third-party services (see the Privacy Policy). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites and services.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sunhub disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding the site and its data, and will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time; the “last updated” date above reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept it.
