Write for Us Renewable Energy: Renewable Energy Blog Guest Post Guidelines

A renewable energy write for us search mostly brings back directories and green lifestyle blogs, and the pitches we get tend to be broad essays about the future of energy. What this blog wants is the view from someone who's put panels on a roof or a heat pump in a building: how a small factory worked out whether solar suited its usage, what an energy manager checks before signing a supply contract, why one installation took twice as long as planned and what they'd do differently.

My readers are business owners and operators weighing up whether renewable energy makes sense for their premises. They already use my guide to energy management software. A renewable energy post has to help them decide and plan, not just tell them it's the right thing to do.

60-second renewable energy guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you install, design, manage or sell renewable energy systems
• Can you describe a real project and what happened
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you avoided claims about savings that can't be checked
• Would a business owner with no engineering background follow it

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Working out whether solar suits a business premises
• Heat pumps and electrification for commercial buildings
• Battery storage explained for business owners
• Choosing an installer and what to ask them
• Energy monitoring before and after an installation
• Running a clean energy startup, from founders who do
• Planning permission and grid connection hurdles
• What goes wrong on installations and how teams fix it

If your post could be published on any renewable energy site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in renewable energy posts

These are the renewable energy topics that land, and the version of each that gets turned down.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Solar	A project you designed or installed	General claims about free energy
Heat and storage	How heat pumps or batteries worked on site	Product brochures rewritten
Installers	How to choose and brief one	A promo for your own company
Monitoring	What the data showed after a switch	Savings figures with no source
Industry	Running a clean energy business	Policy rants

What we don't accept

• Greenwashing or unchecked savings claims
• Policy rants with no practical advice
• Product promotions written as articles
• Thin posts with no first hand experience behind them
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong renewable energy pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about why renewable energy is the future." A strong one says "I install commercial solar for small factories, and I want to show how we read a site's usage before quoting, the roof survey issue that delays most jobs, and what owners should ask about monitoring." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Reading a building's energy use before any installation
• Questions to ask an installer before signing
• When battery storage makes sense for a business
• Heat pumps in older commercial buildings
• Why some installations overrun
• Monitoring energy after the switch
• Getting a grid connection approved
• What a clean energy founder learned in year one

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept renewable energy guest posts?

Yes. Renewable energy guest posts are welcome from installers, energy engineers, energy managers and clean energy founders. We publish practical project lessons for business owners, and decline greenwashing, policy rants and product promotion.

What renewable energy topics do you accept?

Commercial solar, heat pumps, battery storage, choosing installers, energy monitoring, planning and grid connection, and running a clean energy business. The common thread is a decision a business owner has to make about their premises.

Do you accept solar guest posts too?

Yes, and pitches that focus only on solar panels and installation suit the solar page well. Every pitch reaches the same editor, and the same rule applies: real projects, checkable claims and plain English.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a renewable energy guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience installing, designing or managing renewable energy systems. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
