Affiliate hops are placeholders: /go/jackery, /go/bluetti, /go/anker-solix. Manufacturer homepages until real click IDs are pasted.

Rooftop solar, solar installers, net metering, Tesla Powerwall. EcoFlow is not a featured partner. Short cookie window. Jackery, BLUETTI, and Anker SOLIX do not sell traditional pad generators. That silo is informational.
