Claire Jensen
Editor & Lead ResearcherHi! I’m Claire, and I’ve been writing about sustainable home technologies for nearly a decade. I started out as a green living blogger in California, and I’ve gradually shifted my focus to solar energy and energy-efficient home systems. I’m especially passionate about making renewable tech easy to understand — whether you're retrofitting a house or just curious about how solar water heaters work. When I’m not researching tax credits, I’m probably hiking with my rescue dog, Roo.

DIY & Installation ContributorI’m Dan — former plumber, full-time tinkerer. After 15 years in residential plumbing and HVAC, I moved off-grid in New Mexico and started documenting my own solar projects. I specialize in practical, no-BS guides for installing and maintaining gear like solar water heaters. If it can be bolted to a roof or fed with PEX tubing, I’ve probably tested it. I write to help others avoid the mistakes I made figuring things out the hard way.

Tanya Malik
Product Reviewer & Data NerdHey there — I’m Tanya. I’m an energy policy grad turned product tester who’s obsessed with data-driven decisions. I handle the side-by-side reviews on the blog, diving into performance specs, pricing, and user feedback to help you find what’s really worth your money. I may not install panels myself (yet), but I’ll tell you which system performs best in cloudy weather and which one has the highest user satisfaction. Numbers are my comfort zone — and I’m here to help you make sense of them.
