I was going to purchase an whole array of solar panels (a 80,000 dollar purchase) but after reading pages of pages fine print of the contract and then being LEGALLY lied to by the sales person, I decided not to and here's why. (I'm going to make this as short as I can but, still giving key points as I understand them)
- If you miss out on the payment of your solar panels, They try to put you at ease by telling you that they (company who sells you the solar panels) won't put a lean on your house but, the loaning company will.
- My objective was to buy solar panels so I didn't have to rely on the grid, not because of climate scam. Well, guess what? The local power company commandeers the power you stored or are generating during a blackout. Your access to your OWN power depends on the whim of your local power company.
- By law you cannot disconnect from the power grid.
- You have to have wi-fi so your local power company can control your own panels
- The percentage of the your battery storage limit is at the discretion of your local power company
- The salesperson does not represent the company. They are essential outside contractors. So they can make any claim that they want without the company being held liable.
- The local power company buys the energy from you at 10% of the value of the power generated
There is more but, I hope these reasons alone will convince you NOT to get solar panels
A UCC-1 statement is a legal notice that some creditors file to publicly declare their right to seize assets from anyone who defaults on a lease granted to them for their solar project. In other words, it allows the lender the right to repossess the solar panels in case of a default. This is not a lien on your home.
If you’re in the City, yes you must remain Grid Tied,, If the Grid goes down.. then you are obviously off Grid with your Panels . Battery back up. The Battery system is sized to run off the Solar System size. Electric companies have nothing to do with battery back ups.. only the Solar system,,. As you are back feeding the grid.
Wi-Fi is to monitor the system,. App on your phone, Company that installed can monitor.. — this is an option… electric companies have nothing to do with this.
Yes we are independent contractors 1099. A good energy consultant should find you the best Value & Products,, for which you are looking for.
Power companies sell at Retail & buy at Wholesale. They are crooks and continue to raise rates.
Most likely they would just leave the panels.. and make sure you pay your balance when you sell your house… so I understand stand what you are saying.
They have direct access to your Meter, Electrical meter, not Wi-Fi.. you can disable monitoring, and the system will still produce.
That is not true. They have total control of the storage limits of your battery and access to the power your solar panels generate through your wi-fi at their own discretion, as I understand it.
Every area has its own Utility company,,. If that’s true with yours, that’s messed up. The Batteries should be sized according to the system.. The wi-fi has always been an option (most use to monitor) .. but it is not mandatory in my area.
