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
It would cost a shitload more money to recover the silver than you would get selling it. An ounce of silver is only 30 bucks.
Really? Care to share how you would extract the silver from the panel for less than $30 in your own home? And...actually make it worth your time so you'd pull a profit? Because I feel that right there would be an interesting read.
