Solar is not a scam…but damn the way some companies act it seems like it is.
This website is meant to answer some questions about going solar, expose some of the tactics used to sell people solar and if solar is a good fit for your home, help you go solar. We are just getting started, please stop by again to see our progress.
So, is solar a scam?
Since the early 2000s, government incentives have spurred remarkable growth in the sola industry, attracting both altruistic individuals seeking to make a positive impact and profit-driven individuals aiming for quick financial gains. Unfortunately, this influx has also brought forth negative associations due to deceptive practices, aggressive sales tactics, and inadequate customer support. It’s essential to recognize that solar energy may not be suitable for every home or homeowner. Our approach begins with a thorough assessment to determine compatibility, considering factors such as roof shading, orientation, design, duration of homeownership, and current electricity costs. If solar isn’t a viable option or if you’re not interested in our Ambassador program, we part ways amicably.
Cash, Finance, Lease or PPA?
There are several ways for homeowners to adopt solar energy. The best option for you depends on various factors. Here, we will briefly discuss the pros and cons of each approach. Let’s determine which option is best suited for your family.
Cash: Opting for cash payment offers the most economical route to solar installation, ensuring substantial savings compared to current expenses. With us, you receive the best price along with a 30-year warranty. While upfront costs may pose a challenge for some, those with excellent credit can explore loan options from Credit Unions* or a HELOC*. We’re available to guide you through this process and ensure you retain the Tax Credit. Please note that the cash price is exclusive and cannot be applied to alternative options.
Finance: Opting for financing ensures savings and includes our 30-year warranty, a popular choice among homeowners. We partner with multiple financing companies offering flexible terms and lower credit score requirements. You can still claim the tax credit, but note that financing plans assume it will be used to pay down the loan.
Lease or PPA: Options provide savings based on your location. Some states offer leases, while others allow Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). Both offer the benefit of the lowest monthly payment and a 25-year equipment guarantee since the company owns the equipment, ensuring system performance. This option is appealing, particularly for those considering battery backup. It’s important to note that with leases or PPAs, the company receives the tax credit.
