Here's a copy/paste from BBB about solar:From the get go, the whole thing is a scam. The salesmen are dishonest, phony, and untrustworthy. The sad thing is, they pride themselves on their underhanded tactics when amongst each other. They have a company developed app that tells the sales reps information about the people living in the houses on the streets that they're working. I'm talking about how many people are living in the houses, ages of the people, credit scores, it's a total invasion of privacy. They're forceful with their pitches by promising the world but what they don't tell you is that you're paying a lower price per kilowatt for the first two years but after that, it's on an escalating scale for the next 18 years. 20 years, you're locked in with a company that doesn't see you as anything but a cash cow for them. They also don't tell you that after a couple of years, the efficiency of the cheap chinese made panels they carelessly mount to your roof, drastically decreases so you're paying more money for less power produced. Your sales rep and customer service will treat you like gold when you're going through the process but as soon as the deed is done, you're avoided like the plague. A page right out of the sales book, a nice little trick these scam artists have adopted, change their phone numbers every couple of months so you can no longer get in contact with them to express any complaints or concerns. They're door to door sharks preying on the weak. They tell you that it's a completely free system but leave out all of the little details. For instance, if you want to sell your house and you have panels on your roof, you have to get the buyer to agree to take over your contract, if not, guess what? You're paying the remaining balance of your term. The incentives and pay these people get to screw you over are mind blowing and disgusting. The installers and electricians for the most part are hard working and decent people but don't be mistaken. A lot of these people come from absolutely no trades background and are pentrating your roof and house not to mention your electrical system. They use devices called "hot taps". They're insulated bugs that just bite in to the mains in your electrical panel. They are very unsafe. The surveyors come and do the diagnostics for your system, they are told to proceed with the process even if your roof doesn't get the proper amount of sunlight hours. Even if your house is surrounded by trees, it doesn't matter because the company is still making money off of you, regardless if it benefits you or not. Listen people, don't get scammed by this company. They are just out for your money and could care less about your wellbeing, your family's financial wellbeing, and the whole green movement and earth friendly stance is a huge joke. Think about the toxic materials found in a solar panel, now, think about a broken solar panel going into a regular dumpster instead of being properly and safely disposed of. Yeah, that happens on a daily basis
