Editorial Guidelines
Review Battery Planning's editorial standards for battery guides, calculators, source quality, updates, corrections, and ad separation.
Last updated: July 7, 2026
Our editorial mission
Battery Planning exists to help homeowners understand home battery systems and backup power options before they speak with installers. Our content focuses on practical questions about battery sizing, backup runtime, chemistry tradeoffs, installed costs, incentives, and system selection.
How topics are selected
We prioritize topics that solve real planning problems, explain confusing battery terms, support calculator workflows, or help readers compare assumptions before making financial or installation decisions.
Source standards
For technical, policy, and financial topics, Battery Planning prefers official government resources, utility documentation, manufacturer documentation, standards organizations, credible industry sources, and clearly identified data assumptions. When rules vary by location, we explain that readers should verify local details.
Calculator methodology
Calculator pages should explain the formulas, assumptions, and limitations behind the result. Outputs are designed for planning and comparison, not final engineering, tax, or installer approval.
Review and updates
Battery incentives, utility rules, equipment pricing, and product standards can change. Battery Planning content may be reviewed and updated when important assumptions change or when readers identify unclear or outdated information.
Corrections
If you find an error, unclear statement, outdated incentive reference, or calculator issue, contact us with the page URL and supporting detail. We review corrections and update pages when needed.
Advertising separation
Editorial recommendations and calculator assumptions are not controlled by advertisers. Ads and sponsored placements should remain visually separate from educational content.
Author accountability
Battery Planning content is published under a clear author identity and edited for accuracy, usefulness, and readability before publication. The site avoids publishing anonymous, unsupported claims on technical or financial battery topics.
