Disclaimer
Last Updated: January 1, 2025
General Disclaimer
The information provided on the Energy Future Arkansas website, energyfuturearkansas.com (the "Website"), is for general informational and educational purposes only. While Energy Future Arkansas, LLC ("Energy Future Arkansas," "we," "our," or "us") makes every effort to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information presented, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the Website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Website for any purpose.
Any reliance you place on information found on this Website is strictly at your own risk. Energy Future Arkansas shall not be held liable for any loss or damage, including without limitation indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from the use of information presented on this Website. The content on this Website is subject to change without notice and may not reflect the most current industry developments, regulatory changes, or pricing at the time you access it.
Professional Advice Disclaimer
The content on this Website is intended to provide general information about solar energy, renewable energy technologies, battery storage systems, electric vehicle charging, energy efficiency, and related topics. This content is educational in nature and should not be construed as professional engineering advice, financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional counsel. The information provided does not create a professional-client relationship between you and Energy Future Arkansas.
Solar energy systems involve complex engineering, electrical, structural, and financial considerations that vary significantly based on individual circumstances. Before making any decisions regarding solar panel installation, battery storage, or other energy improvements, we strongly recommend that you consult with qualified professionals, including licensed electrical engineers, structural engineers, certified public accountants, tax advisors, and legal counsel, as appropriate to your specific situation. Any financial projections, tax credit information, or incentive details mentioned on this Website are provided for illustrative purposes and should be verified with a qualified tax professional or financial advisor before making investment decisions.
While our team holds NABCEP certifications and relevant professional credentials, the information on this Website is not a substitute for a personalized, on-site assessment and formal proposal prepared specifically for your property and energy needs. Regulatory requirements, building codes, and permitting processes vary by jurisdiction within Arkansas, and the information on this Website may not reflect the specific requirements applicable to your location.
Calculator and Tool Disclaimer
Our Website provides interactive tools and calculators, including solar savings calculators, system cost estimators, energy production calculators, and return-on-investment tools. These tools are designed to provide rough estimates based on general assumptions, average data, and the information you input. The results generated by these tools are approximations only and should not be relied upon as precise figures or guarantees of actual performance, costs, or savings.
Actual costs for solar installations and other energy improvements vary significantly based on numerous site-specific factors, including but not limited to the physical condition, orientation, pitch, and shading of your roof, the structural capacity of your building to support additional equipment, the specific equipment and components selected for your system, current labor market rates and availability of qualified installers in your area, local permit fees and inspection requirements that differ across Arkansas municipalities and counties, utility interconnection fees and policies that vary between Entergy Arkansas, Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation, and municipal utilities, and the availability and terms of incentive programs at the time of your installation.
Equipment pricing fluctuates based on supply chain conditions, manufacturer pricing changes, and market demand. The cost estimates provided by our tools are based on average pricing at the time the tool was last updated and may not reflect current market conditions. We update our tools periodically but cannot guarantee that pricing data is current at all times. For an accurate, binding cost estimate, please contact us to schedule a free on-site consultation and receive a detailed, written proposal.
Solar Savings Disclaimer
Statements on this Website regarding potential energy cost savings from solar installations are based on typical results observed across our customer base and general industry data. Actual savings from a solar energy system depend on many variables that are unique to each customer and property, and individual results will vary, sometimes significantly, from the estimates and averages presented on this Website.
Factors that affect actual solar savings include your current and future energy usage patterns, which may change due to lifestyle changes, household size, the addition of electric vehicles, or the installation of new appliances. Utility rate changes are another significant variable, as electricity rates may increase, decrease, or be restructured in ways that affect the value of your solar production. Weather and climate conditions, including annual variations in solar irradiance, cloud cover, precipitation, and temperature, directly impact system energy production and can cause year-to-year variation in savings.
System performance over time is also a factor, as solar panels experience gradual degradation in output, typically around 0.5 percent per year, which is accounted for in manufacturer warranties but may affect long-term savings projections. Maintenance requirements and costs, while generally minimal for solar systems, can affect net savings over the life of the system. Changes to net metering policies by your utility or the Arkansas Public Service Commission could significantly alter the financial value of excess solar energy you export to the grid. Federal, state, and local incentive programs are subject to legislative changes, expiration, or modification, and the incentives available at the time of your installation may differ from those described on this Website.
Testimonials Disclaimer
Testimonials, reviews, and case studies displayed on this Website represent the individual experiences and opinions of specific customers and are not intended to represent or guarantee that any current or future customer will achieve the same or similar results. Each customer's experience is unique and is influenced by their specific property characteristics, energy usage, system size, equipment selection, local utility rates, weather conditions, and other individual factors.
The testimonials on this Website reflect honest feedback from real customers, but individual results vary. The savings figures, production numbers, and satisfaction levels expressed in testimonials are specific to those individual customers and their particular circumstances. We do not claim that the experiences described in testimonials are typical or that you should expect to achieve the same outcomes. Before making a decision about solar installation or any other energy improvement, we encourage you to schedule a personalized consultation to receive projections based on your specific situation.

Accuracy of Information
Energy Future Arkansas strives to provide accurate, up-to-date information on our Website regarding solar energy, renewable energy technologies, energy policies, incentive programs, utility rates, and related topics.

Information that was accurate at the time of publication may become outdated as conditions change.
In particular, federal and state tax incentives for solar energy, including the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), are subject to legislative changes that can affect eligibility, credit percentages, and phase-out schedules. Arkansas net metering policies, utility interconnection procedures, and rate structures are determined by individual utilities and the Arkansas Public Service Commission and may change without notice on our Website. Equipment specifications, pricing, and availability are determined by manufacturers and distributors and may change based on market conditions. We update our Website periodically but do not guarantee that all information reflects the most current developments at the time you view it. We recommend contacting us directly or consulting with appropriate professionals to verify any information that is material to your decision-making.
