r/solar Rules

1

Reddiquette is required

Reddiquette is required. Trolling, insults, or antagonism towards the subreddit participants, the moderators, or even the community itself may result in a ban. Discuss and express opinions about solar but avoid making attacks / disparaging remarks. Disagreements are fine but personal attacks and insults will be removed and may lead to a ban. No witch hunts

2

Self-Promotion / Lead generation / Solicitation of Business / Referrals

No posts/comments which discuss/link to anything you are affiliated with. No lead generation or solicitation of business of any kind. This includes recruiting as well as offers of referral codes. Repeat violations, and attempts to end run the rule, especially via DM/PM, will lead to a ban. See also Reddit's policies on spam.

3

No posts from new or low/no karma accounts

New accounts and those with no/low karma may not post in this subreddit. This is a spam, troll, and other trouble account prevention measure. The rule is a common practice around reddit and has proven to be effective in handling the problems it was designed to address. Those who are new or have low karma can resolve it quite easily by participating in the comments of other posts before attempting to post again - the threshold is low.

4

No blogspam / blog copypasta

No blogspam / blog copypasta - Do not submit posts or comments which are only copy / paste of text from a blog post. Sponsored content is not welcome. This is a discussion forum.

5

No URLs in post titles

No URLs in post titles

6

Images are restricted

Images are restricted - images can only be submitted via reddit rather than linking to images off site.

7

Sites are restricted

Sites are restricted - some news, blog, social media, and other kinds of sites are restricted most often due to spam, personal info, or user tracking issues.

8

Crusading is not welcomed here

Repeated promotion or disparagement of the same organization, individual, or topic is unwelcome, and may result in a ban. This form of participation tends to be antagonistic, hyperbolic, lacking in substance, and can subsequently lead to personal attacks and violations of other rules. If you are lying in wait for posts or comments mentioning a specific company, public figure, political affiliation, country, state/province/territory, proposed legislation, etc., you are likely the problem.

9

No battery, EV, crypto, AI, etc. posts/comments; r/solar is for discussion of solar PV systems

No posts/comments focused on batteries, electric vehicles, crypto / bitcoin mining, AI, etc. are allowed. The primary focus is discussion, news, advice, etc. on rooftop or ground-mounted solar photovoltaic systems.

These topics may ONLY be discussed if directly related to a solar photovoltaic system - discussions of these topics in the context of generic electricity use is NOT allowed.

10

No DM/PM requests

Due to ongoing spam / promotion / lead generation and site privacy rule violation issues, we no longer allow "DM/PM me" requests in the comments.
