Terms of Use
Last updated: November 13, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of rvwatt.com and the RVWatt calculator, guide and related pages (the "Site"), operated by RVWatt LLC, an Idaho limited liability company ("RVWatt", "we", "us"). By using the Site or relying on any result from it, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. Estimates only, not professional advice
The Site provides general, educational planning estimates for solar panels, batteries, charge controllers, inverters, fuses and cables. Results come from simplified formulas, average climate data and typical appliance figures that you can edit. They may not match your equipment, installation, climate or use, and they may contain errors.
Nothing on the Site is electrical, engineering, legal or other professional advice, and using the Site does not create a professional or advisory relationship of any kind. We are not licensed electricians or engineers, and we have not inspected your vehicle or system.
2. Your responsibility for safety
Batteries, inverters and DC wiring carry enough current to start fires, melt cable, cause burns, explosions and electric shock, and damage property or vehicles. You are solely responsible for your system's design, purchase, installation, operation and maintenance. Before you buy or install anything, you agree to:
- verify every result yourself, and follow each manufacturer's installation manual and specifications. Where a manual differs from the Site, follow the manual, or use the larger fuse or cable when it is safe to do so;
- follow applicable codes and standards, such as the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, including Article 551 for RVs), NFPA 1192, ABYC E-11 and local requirements;
- use a qualified, licensed installer or electrician for any work you are not fully qualified to do, and have high-current wiring inspected before you connect it;
- fuse every battery positive conductor and use properly rated components, cables and terminals.
3. Products, links and third parties
The Site may display ads and affiliate (paid) links to third-party products and stores. We do not make, sell, install or warrant those products, and we are not responsible for third-party sites, products, prices, availability or content. Your purchases are between you and the seller. See our affiliate disclosure.
4. No warranty
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT AND RESULTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. We do not warrant that results are correct or suitable for your situation, or that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
5. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RVWATT AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, THE SITE OR ITS RESULTS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limits, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, such as liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct where the law does not allow it to be limited.
6. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless RVWatt and its owners, members, contractors and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Site, your system's design, installation or operation, or your violation of these Terms.
7. Acceptable use
You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial planning. Do not misuse it, interfere with its operation, scrape it at a scale that burdens it, or copy and republish its content or code as your own. All Site content, design and code are owned by us or our licensors, except public data such as NASA POWER climatology.
8. Age
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13.
9. Changes
We may update the Site or these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date shows when the Terms last changed. Changes apply from that date to later use of the Site. If you keep using the Site, you accept the updated Terms.
10. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Site will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Blaine County, Idaho, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where the law of your place of residence requires otherwise.
11. General
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect, and that part will be enforced to the maximum extent allowed. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site.
