No, they are two different things. Your $29 membership makes the at-cost price possible and funds the mission. The panel is then sold to you at exactly what it costs us, with nothing added on.

There is no catch, and we prove it by publishing our costs. We make nothing on the hardware. We are a 501(c)(3) funded by dues, not product margin. We need to reach about 34,000 members to become fully self-sustaining, which is why, if you find real value here, the best thing you can do is help us spread the word.

We publish the full breakdown line by line: hardware, shipping, payment processing, and a small reserve for returns. That is the entire price. We also bring in an independent firm every year to verify that members pay exactly what the kits cost us, and if costs change in either direction we reprice and publish it.

Because we are not here to make investors or ourselves rich. No shareholders keeps everything clean: every dollar of the business goes back to members. It also lets us make long-term investments, like our policy work, that lower your costs over time but take patience to pay off.

No. You can join the movement without buying anything. As our membership grows we will use its strength both to fight global warming and to find more ways to save you money. Membership is a vote for that future as much as it is a way to buy a panel.
