Our Story

We Help People Spend Less on Energy. That’s It.

Energy and solar decisions involve thousands of dollars and long-term commitments. Most of the content out there is written by companies with something to sell you. We’re not one of them.

Exspenditure is an independent energy education platform. We research electricity plans, solar equipment, battery chemistry, and incentive programs so you can make an informed decision — before you sign anything or hand over a deposit.

Our Commitment to Helping You Save

Most energy content is either too vague to be useful or quietly written to push you toward a specific product or installer. We got tired of it.

People researching solar installs, backup batteries, or electricity plans deserve straight answers — not landing pages dressed up as guides. That’s the gap Exspenditure exists to fill.

Who Are We?

The name Exspenditure is a deliberate play on the word expenditure – the money we spend. We swapped in spend to make it feel more active and direct. Because when it comes to electricity bills, solar decisions, and energy choices, most of us are spending more than we need to. We believe that understanding the numbers shouldn’t feel complicated or out of reach.

Where Do You Get Your Information?

Every article on Exspenditure is built from primary sources. For electricity rate data, we use the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), state public utility commission filings, and official utility tariff sheets. For solar incentive programs, we verify directly against DSIRE (the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency), state energy office websites, and program administrators. For product specifications, we cite only the manufacturer’s official U.S. product pages and published user manuals — we do not rely on third-party spec aggregators or retailer listings as primary sources.

What We Cover

Every data point — rates, incentive amounts, program deadlines, product specs — is checked against the primary source before an article goes live. Where a program or rate has changed since our last update, we update the article and revise the publication date. If we cannot verify a claim against a primary source, we do not publish it.

Some topics we cover include:

Solar panels — efficiency ratings, pricing per watt, installer comparisons

Battery storage — home backup systems, chemistry comparisons, sizing guides

Portable power stations — real-world capacity testing, van life and off-grid use

State solar incentives — tax credits, rebates, and utility programs by state

Electricity plans — deregulated markets in Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois

We Found Another Rebate

And we'll email you when we find more. Plus solar/energy tips, honest reviews, and incentives you can actually benefit from. Sound good?
