  References all sub-sitemaps.
  Updated: 2026-03-26

  Sub-sitemap inventory:
    sitemap-pages.xml     — Core static pages (homepage, contact, about, legal)
    sitemap-city.xml      — /pages/city/{slug} informational cost guides
    sitemap-near-me.xml   — /pages/near-me/{slug}-solar-installation-near-me (93 URLs)
    sitemap-state.xml     — /pages/state/{state-slug} overview pages
    sitemap-guides.xml    — /pages/guides/{guide-slug} long-form content
    sitemap-blog.xml      — /pages/blog/{post-slug}
    sitemap-services.xml  — /pages/services/{service-slug}
    sitemap-comparisons.xml — /pages/comparisons/{slug}

  IMPORTANT: sitemap-money.xml has been replaced by the above split sitemaps.
  Do NOT re-add sitemap-money.xml. The old file caused Google to see 387 thin
  pages together, triggering quality filters. Splitting by intent fixes this.
