Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Kindastuff! By using our website and solar analytics tools, you're agreeing to these terms. We've tried to write them in plain English rather than dense legal jargon.
If something doesn't sit right with you, we totally understand — but please don't use our tools in that case. If you have questions, reach out to us anytime.
What We Offer
Kindastuff provides free, browser-based tools for solar power plant performance analysis. Our calculators help you analyze:
Important: Every calculation happens right in your browser. Your data never travels to our servers because, frankly, we don't want to manage your data — we just want to help you analyze it.
Your Privacy
Let's be crystal clear about this:We do not collect or store any solar plant inputs, calculation values, or results you enter into our tools.
What We DO
- Process all calculations locally in your browser
- Respect your privacy completely
- Keep our tools free and accessible
- Update tools based on industry standards
What We DON'T Do
- Collect your plant performance data
- Store calculation inputs or results
- Track your calculation inputs or results
- Sell or share any information
We use basic analytics (Google Analytics) to understand general traffic patterns — like how many people visit the site. This helps us improve our tools. If you want the full details, check out our Privacy Policy.

Intellectual Property
Everything on Kindastuff — the design, code, tools, articles, graphics, and the name itself — belongs to us. It's protected by copyright and intellectual property laws.
When you use our tools, you're not gaining any ownership rights. Think of it like using a calculator at a store — you can use it while you're there, but you can't take it home.
The formulas we use are based on industry standards but our specific implementations, UI design, and overall product are original works.
Accuracy & Disclaimers
We work hard to make our tools accurate and reliable. They're built using industry-standard formulas and have been validated against real-world solar plant data. That said, we need to be upfront:
Our tools are provided "as-is"
While we strive for accuracy, we can't guarantee that every calculation will be perfect for every situation. Solar plant performance depends on countless variables — equipment specs, weather patterns, installation quality, and more.
Always verify critical decisions with on-site measurements and professional engineering judgment.
These tools are designed to help you analyze and estimate performance — not to replace proper engineering analysis or contractual obligations. If you're making million-dollar decisions, please cross-check with multiple sources.
Limitation of Liability
We provide these tools for free because we want to help the solar industry. In return, we ask that you understand our limitations:
- We're not liable for any losses — financial, operational, or otherwise — that might result from using our tools
- We're not responsible for decisions you make based on our calculations
- We can't guarantee uptime — the tools might occasionally be unavailable for maintenance
- We're not liable for data loss — though since we don't store your data, this shouldn't be an issue!
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kindastuff and its creators shall not be held responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
Changes to These Terms
The solar industry evolves, and so might these terms. If we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
For major changes that affect your rights, we'll do our best to notify users through our website. But it's always a good idea to check back occasionally.
Continuing to use our tools after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Questions?
We tried to make these terms clear and fair. If something doesn't make sense, or if you have questions, we're happy to help.
