Our Commitment to Transparency
At MedicSolar.com, honesty is non-negotiable — especially when it comes to how we make money. This page explains exactly how affiliate relationships work on this site, how they affect (and don’t affect) our recommendations, and what you should know before clicking any link.
We believe you deserve to know this upfront, not buried in fine print.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
When you click certain links on MedicSolar.com and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer — at absolutely no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would if you went directly to the retailer’s website.
These links are called affiliate links. They contain a small tracking code that tells the retailer a visitor came from our site. If you complete a purchase, we receive a percentage of the sale as compensation for referring you.
Programs We Participate In
MedicSolar.com participates in the following affiliate programs:
Amazon Associates Program
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means:
- Links to Amazon products on this site are affiliate links
- We earn a commission when you click and purchase within a qualifying window
- Your price is never affected
Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon, we may also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers and brands in the solar power and medical device space, including but not limited to:
- EcoFlow
- Bluetti
- Jackery
- Anker
- Goal Zero
- Other solar and medical equipment retailers
When we link to any of these brands, the same principles apply — we may earn a commission at no cost to you.
How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content
This is the part that matters most.
The short answer: they don’t.
We are committed to providing honest, research-backed recommendations regardless of affiliate relationships. Here is exactly how we handle this:
What We Will Always Do
- Recommend products we genuinely believe are the best fit for our readers’ medical needs
- Include products in our reviews whether or not they have an affiliate program
- Clearly state the pros AND cons of every product we recommend
- Prioritize your safety and medical device compatibility over commission rates
- Update our recommendations when better products become available, even if the new product pays a lower commission
What We Will Never Do
- Recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission
- Suppress negative information about a product to protect an affiliate relationship
- Accept payment from brands in exchange for positive reviews
- Allow sponsored content to appear as independent editorial content without clear disclosure
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines under 16 CFR Part 255, we are required to disclose any material connection between ourselves and the products or services we recommend.
A material connection includes receiving compensation, free products, or other benefits in exchange for coverage or promotion of a product or service.
This disclosure page, along with in-content disclosures throughout the site, satisfies this requirement. You will also see a disclosure notice at the top of any post that contains affiliate links.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, MedicSolar.com may publish sponsored content — articles, reviews, or guides that are produced in partnership with a brand. When this occurs:
- The content will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” at the top of the page
- Sponsored content is held to the same editorial standards as our independent content
- We will not publish sponsored content that contradicts our honest assessment of a product
- Sponsorship does not guarantee a positive review
Free Products & Review Units
From time to time, brands may provide us with free products or review units for testing and evaluation purposes. When this occurs:
- We will clearly disclose that the product was provided at no cost
- Receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review or any coverage at all
- Our assessment is always based on real-world testing and honest evaluation
Editorial Independence
Lee Arnold, the author and owner of MedicSolar.com, maintains full editorial control over all content published on this site. No affiliate partner, advertiser, or sponsor has the ability to:
- Approve or reject content before publication
- Request changes to editorial content
- Influence star ratings, rankings, or recommendations
Our readers come to this site because they need reliable information about powering life-critical medical devices. That trust is worth far more to us than any commission.
A Note on Medical Device Recommendations
Because MedicSolar.com covers products used with life-sustaining medical equipment — including CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and insulin storage devices — we hold ourselves to a higher standard than a typical affiliate site.
Every product recommended on this site is evaluated first and foremost on:
- Safety for use with medical devices
- Reliability during extended or emergency use
- Accuracy of manufacturer specifications
- Real-world performance data and user feedback
Commission rates play no part in this evaluation.
