Affiliate disclosure

SolarSpecDB earns commission on some links. Here is exactly how that works and what it does not change.

The short version

As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases. Buying through a link here costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same price you would pay arriving at the retailer directly.

What commission does not buy

A payment cannot change a verdict. The four checks are arithmetic against published figures, and no manufacturer or retailer has any input into the result. A pairing that conflicts still says conflict on a page that carries a link to both units. A component with no documentation still reads unverified.

Products are listed because they appear in the database, not because a commission rate is attractive. Several components tracked here are not sold through any affiliate programme at all and are listed anyway.

How to identify these links

Affiliate links sit inside a bordered box headed with where to buy, and each box carries this disclosure. They are marked with rel=”sponsored nofollow” in the page source. Links inside the body text, to manufacturer documents and to other pages here, are never affiliate links.
