Your privacy is fundamental to our relationship. At Solar Urja, we are committed to protecting the personal data of our homeowners, installers, and partners with the same rigor we apply to solar engineering.

This Privacy Policy describes how Solar Urja ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit our marketplace, use our calculation tools, or interact with our registered solar installers.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, information from third parties, and information that is automatically collected when you use our services.

A. Information You Provide

When you request quotes or create an account, we may collect:

  • Full name and contact information (email, phone, address).
  • Property details including roof type, shading, and electricity usage patterns.
  • Financial information relevant to solar financing applications.
  • Communications between you and solar installers via our platform.

B. Automated Data Collection

Our servers automatically record certain log data, including your IP address, browser type, and interaction patterns with our solar calculators and marketplace listings.

2. How We Use Your Information

The primary purpose of data collection is to facilitate the transition to solar energy efficiently. We use your data to:

  • Generate accurate solar energy production estimates for your specific location.
  • Connect you with qualified, local solar installers who serve your area.
  • Process applications for federal and state-level solar tax incentives.
  • Improve our recommendation algorithms for panel efficiency and battery storage.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data to mass-marketing firms. We only share information under the following circumstances:

Installer Matching

When you request a quote, your project details are shared with up to three (3) vetted installers in our network to provide competitive pricing.

We may also share information with service providers who assist in financing, permit processing, or grid interconnection services required for your installation.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your experience. These allow us to remember your zip code and saved panel preferences across sessions.

You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some features (like the solar savings calculator) may be limited.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Regardless of your location, we believe you should have control over your data. You have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Update inaccurate property or contact information.
  • Deletion: Request that we delete your account and associated project history.
  • Opt-out: Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.

6. Data Security

We implement enterprise-grade security measures to protect your information. This includes 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmissions.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
