Editorial Policy

Scope and intent

Kilovolt covers home energy topics in Ireland (solar, EV charging, storage, tariffs) and a separate Grid & Industry section for HV and power infrastructure services.

Sources

When we make claims that should be verifiable, we prefer primary sources, including:

Regulators and official bodies (Ireland/ROI and, where relevant, EU)
Grid operator and market documentation
Manufacturer installation manuals and product standards
Recognised industry guidance on safety and compliance

Where policies or commercial terms vary frequently (tariffs, grants, export payments), we use general wording and point readers to official sources rather than quoting numbers that can become wrong.

Updates

Guides may be updated as standards, market rules, or best practice evolves.
Where practical, we include an updated date on the page.
If a topic is time-sensitive, we prefer “how to check” instructions over “what it is today”.

Corrections

If you believe something is inaccurate, email Contact with:

The URL of the page
What you think is wrong (quote the relevant passage)
A source we can verify (official documentation preferred)

Advertising and affiliate disclosure

Kilovolt may display advertising (for example, via AdSense) and may use affiliate links on some pages. If we do:

We aim to disclose affiliate relationships in a clear, non-technical way.
We do not sell “reviews” and we avoid making performance claims we cannot justify.
We prefer explaining trade-offs and constraints over recommending a single product.
