Product photos
Product photographs in our directory of plug-in solar systems (EcoFlow, Anker, Plugged Solar, Hoymiles, APsystems) are sourced from each manufacturer's public product page and used for editorial review of the product. They remain the property of their respective manufacturers; we do not relicence them.
Maps and data
The Canada campaign map is built from the svg-maps Canada outline by Victor Cazanave, licensed CC BY 4.0. We simplified the geometry and recoloured it to the campaign palette.
The film
The film on the home page and the campaign pages was drawn in code by Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. Its paper-cutout style follows the animations of Kevin Ngo. The handwriting is Caveat by Impallari Type, under the SIL Open Font License.
