About

Chad runs GreenReviewsHub as a research-driven review publication covering portable power stations, e-bikes, mini splits, smart thermostats, generators, and adjacent green-energy gear. Every review is built from manufacturer specifications, independent lab data (Project Farm, Consumer Reports, and comparable testing outlets), aggregated owner reports across retailers and owner forums, and warranty terms — cross-checked to surface where real-world performance diverges from the spec sheet.

Areas of focus

• California solar installer market and CSLB licensing
• NEM 3 net metering and post-2024 California solar economics
• Green-energy gear: portable power stations, e-bikes, mini splits, generators, smart thermostats, heat pump water heaters
• Home security cameras, video doorbells, smart locks; privacy posture and warrant policies
• At-home biohacking devices: red light, cold plunge, infrared sauna, PEMF, vibration plates — anchored in peer-reviewed research

How I work

Most reviews on GreenReviewsHub are research-led: I read primary sources (license records, court filings, CVE databases, peer-reviewed literature, manufacturer specs) and aggregated owner reports, then synthesize what matters for the buyer. When I have personally owned or installed a product, I say so on the page.

Every review carries a "Last reviewed" date stamp. I refresh installer reviews every 90 days, product reviews every 60–90 days depending on category, and health-claim pages every 180 days against current literature.

What I won't do

• Accept payment for placement, sponsored reviews, or rankings
• Recommend a product I would not own myself in the buyer's situation
• State a health claim without naming the evidence tier and citing a PMID or DOI
• Quote a price without a source URL
• Hide affiliate relationships — they're disclosed at the top of every relevant page and on our affiliate-disclosure page
