Here is what I would recommend, only pay cash for the system. If you are paying interest or fees it is not worth it. Also, size your system based on what you can afford and don’t worry about trying to replace all your grid usage. The off the grid thing is just a way to try to get people to buyer a more expensive system. Also, if you have 1:1 net metering, you can use the grid to take excess energy rather than buying a battery.
I was ripped off by a solar panel company. I trusted them to design the best system and implement it quickly. WRONG. After this particular solar panel company went bankrupt, I hired another company to check out my solar system. They told me that the original company had tripled the number of panels I really needed, thus increasing my loan amount and making the company some quick money. Then the original company took over a year to get the system up and running. But even with savings in utility company bills, the loan itself is HIGHER than any of those utility company bills. So I now pay more than I would have for power without a solar system. The only good part is that I got a government tax rebate of $30,000 for the system, which eased the pain somewhat. And although I have the loan payments, I will never pay a utility company bill again. Every month the utility bill is a negative number that I owe.
Solar panels decreased 3% each year so in between 20 and 25 to 30 years you will have to replace the solar panels and the battery pack last between 5 and 15 years . And if you have problems with your roof then you have to take the whole system down to replace the roof
Lucky you, not sure which state you live in, but in Texas utility companies designed their solar buyback plans such a way that solar owners will never have zero bills, rather, customer with solar panel will pay more than without solar. I have solar installed on my rooftop but I use now standard no buyback plan because solar buy back plans cost me more.
@@dewanh40 I live in Arizona. Happily, our state (like all others EXCEPT Texas) are attached to the national grid, so power needs can be balanced among the southwestern states. We have not had a power outage in over 20 years. My daughter's husband was transferred to Dallas the year Texas had a bitterly cold winter and the power went out. They had to flee to Oklahoma to keep warm! There are benefits to being part of the USA instead of pretending to be a sovereign nation. I have little to say positive about Texas (and neither does my daughter's family), but I wish you the best.
Saddest thing I saw was when new neighbors moved in and had panels installed. Their house faces south, as does mine. They did not have any of them installed on the south side, instead only on the northwest side. :-(
I too am experienced with solar sales, installation, and repair. I have also had Solar on my home since 20005. Everything this guy said is spot on. If your roof faces east, south, and/or west, has little shade, and has room for solar, it is a great investment for your wallet and our environment.
@@Johnny-xj5qu Exactly so the electric savings is gone and turned into a big debt. So why would anybody install these? Your financially handcuffed to the house.
As a construction contractor I make my living performing upgrades and builds. I am not a bank or a finance company. Many competitors have side hustles allowing them to make additional money of of the financing of projects.
1:1 Net metering is mostly something of the past now. I was switched from 1:1 to approx 4:1 a year ago. Got a letter in the mail stating that they "mistakenly" set me up with a 1:1 scheme that ended in 2018 and that i have to go to this new scheme instead. So now i have a $100 electric cost and a loan. This is approx 3 times i used to pay in the winter and 2 times in the summer all the way around the year. Now I am basically forced to get batteries, which i will get cash. I love the solar thing, but man these corps find any way to screw you.
This is the same experience I have. Even though I have solar installed, I use standard plan because buyback plans cost me more. I just give away free electricity to the utility grid generated by my expensive solar system.
Hi!! I am new to this. Are you saying that the power company was giving you a whole or full credit on what you produced and sold to them and now, they dropped that to only 25% credit to your whole you are producing? That was my concern when I learned about this credit system going to the power company. I thought, in theory, if everyone went solar then how would the power company stay in business? It makes no sense for them to even do this program. I thought, at some point, this whole "system" would somehow be turned on all of us, as they always do, and we'd still be forced in to a position to have give these corporate pigs or government pigs our money. I would have to have enough panels and batteries to be completely off the grid an self sufficient. If I have the option to tap in to the grid when I want and go off the grid, when I want - day by day, as I wish, then that would be my optimum situation.
@@marcoverfelt2956 Yes, that is exactly true. I used to get a $14 bill every month and now like i said it's between $100 and $130 a month. For July I exported 600kWh, which netted me a whopping $20. Conversely I pulled about 900 kWh that I am paying the rate on now so you can do the simple math by bill is around $100... not happy to say the least. I believe California NEM 3.0 is basically the same thing (that i have in Texas). That's the reason why people are buying batteries like crazy.

Conflicting statements: Solar contractors use low(est)-cost materials, charge inflated prices and fees, yet (15:00) "solar is a low-margin business". A + B ≠ C
I am a fan of solar but I don’t see a clear path to a ROI. I have a $1500.00 year electric bill and would pay about 15K out of pocket for a system that would provide 75% of my electricity saving me $1125 per year x 25 years saving me $28,125. Electric rates will go up and the performance may go down and maintenance and repairs are unknown so let’s project a net $40,000 savings over 25 years. If I invest 15K and earn 5% over 25 years I will have 51K. Am I missing something?
@@paulmarc-aurele5508 perfect, me too. Your generator setup is way cheaper than solar most places. Although for my location and usage, I'm going to install solar.

Solar is not low margin lmfao i got a 9k system i priced out every component and wiring and conduit the final bill was 12000 the compay wanted to charge 28000 cash 39000 loaned . Thats some kinda mark up that was 😅
Your solar lease statement is not 100% informative and deceptive. 1. If a client doesn’t have $20k+ to purchase the lease is 100% the best option! 2. What is the rate of the lease? If a home owner is paying .40 cents kWh with the utility company and the lease can cover all or most of their usage at .20 cents they are saving toons of money! Let’s add the 2.99% escalator you speak about at .20 cents it will take more than 20 years for it to catch up to their current rate at .40 cents. 3. Lease allows the company to remove the panels for free at no cost after the lease is over! You don’t mention most roofs need to be replaced after 25 years. So if they own the panels they need to remove them at a cost! And it’s not cheap to remove and re install panels. 4. Ownership also = you’re liable for any damages or upkeep of the panels. With a lease the company is liable and most offer a warranty. 5. You also didn’t mention that solar panel production diminishes every year. So yeah you own those panels 25 years later they won’t be working as they did when you first installed them. So at the end of the day you’ll need to upgrade them. = removing the panels most companies charge $200+ per panel. You left off a lot of information. 2:16
Getting a lower fixed rate even with a small escalator is still better than being raked over the coals at .40 per Kwh with your rate doubling every five years. Also if someone really just has to own the system they can buy it out after 5 years at a huge discount.
@@ryanwelsch9384 Here in socal with socal Edison the off peak rate is .37 per kWh winter rate but between 4-8 or 5-9 it’s .75 per kWh. Which usually ends up being about $.41 blended. Some companies offer a lease, but they need collateral. Other companies put you on the hook as far as Credit goes. The easiest option for most people like you mention if you don’t have 20 K to throw down on some panels is to get the PPA lease. Our PPA lease does not require collateral or go on your credit. It’s just a utility service, so we’re able to get people down lower than the lowest tier of SCE’s rate / low income or, partly renewable or if they have life support equipment in their house or an electric vehicle. And we also have a cash PPA, which has all the same benefits as our PPA. That means everything is warranted for 25 years. That means you’ll get two replacement batteries for each one battery you got, the panels are good for 25 years guaranteed, the inverter is guaranteed for 25 years, and the roof is guaranteed for 15 years under one warranty and another 10 years on the other warranty. That means if the roof starts to leak and it’s determined that somebody damaged it during the installation process it’s 100% covered. The escalator is anywhere from 2% to 3.9%, which is still less than a 20% annual increase which it has been historically. In 2018 SCEs rate was $.17 per kilowatt hour in 2023 it was $.33 per kilowatt hour which is a 97% increase and from 2023 to 2024. We got a notice saying that their rates were going up 22.6%. So you can see that even with our tiny escalator it’ll take a lot of years just to equal to one year with SCE. It’s kind of a no-brainer. Have your rate doubled every five years or just goes solar with a PPA that saves you money day one. A lot of people like to say that solar is a scam but if you really look at who’s doing the scamming, you’ll see it’s the utility companies. It’s not like they’re gonna call you up and tell you you can do better. Right? There are some shitty solar companies to so picking the right one is very important. Our company is privately owned so we don’t have shareholders for us. The shareholders are the homeowners so we have their back instead of a few people sitting around a big desk wanting more money lol. Oh yeah, I forgot to answer your question lol. You always want to get a warranty no matter what if you’re buying it cash on your own you’re going to have to deal with four different warranties one for the roof one for the panels one for the inverters and one for the batteries. Also, in addition to all that if you try to do it on your own thinking that you’re that guy that’s just gonna do it. You also have to deal with all the permitting. If you’re a skilled electrician, go for it. It wouldn’t be a question of your skill. It would just be a question of whether or not you really want to deal with climbing up there to troubleshoot the system or deal with each separate warranty on your own. That’s kind of a no-brainer too lol. With us we take care of everything without having anyone spend any money out of pocket on anything except with the lower bill. Also, one other thing is you get what you pay for. I’m in the process of helping someone right now. Who’s had a general contractor tie his money up for 13 months because he’s not a specialized solar installer. He’s still dealing with the permits as of today. After general contractors are done the likeliness that they will willingly just come out and fix anything are slim especially if they subcontract it with a cheap installation crew. Good luck with getting them to fix anything .Bottom line is nobody’s gonna want to come out and fix your shit after they get paid for free, especially if there is no warranty. I don’t type all this. I just ramble on into the microphone BTW. 🤣
You can also get a lease or PPA with a 0% escalator so the payment stays the same throughout. But in any case, the total of payments, regardless of the escalator, is the same at the end of 25 years. So, the purpose of the escalator is to increase savings up front while the utility rate is where it is now. As the utility rate increases, so will the escalator. Leases and PPAs are good options for a many homeowners.
Here is what I would recommend, only pay cash for the system. If you are paying interest or fees it is not worth it. Also, size your system based on what you can afford and don’t worry about trying to replace all your grid usage. The off the grid thing is just a way to try to get people to buyer a more expensive system. Also, if you have 1:1 net metering, you can use the grid to take excess energy rather than buying a battery.

If you do the lease, you have problems selling your home
In many circumstances, this is correct.
A lein on your home and the new home buyer must agree to taking over that 30 year lease on the solar.total ripoff.
Not totally correct, you will have problems selling your home with panels on the roof anyway they got there plus they lower the value of the house .
I'm not sure if it's trouble selling the house..... As long as the current homeowner is going to pay off the system completely before closing.

You always want to get a warranty no matter what if you’re buying it cash on your own you’re going to have to deal with four different warranties one for the roof one for the panels one for the inverters and one for the batteries. Also, in addition to all that if you try to do it on your own thinking that you’re that guy that’s just gonna do it. You also have to deal with all the permitting. If you’re a skilled electrician, go for it. It wouldn’t be a question of your skill. It would just be a question of whether or not you really want to deal with climbing up there to troubleshoot the system or deal with each separate warranty on your own. That’s kind of a no-brainer too lol. With us we take care of everything without having anyone spend any money out of pocket on anything except with the lower bill. Also, one other thing is you get what you pay for. I’m in the process of helping someone right now. Who’s had a general contractor tie his money up for 13 months because he’s not a specialized solar installer. He’s still dealing with the permits as of today. After general contractors are done the likeliness that they will willingly just come out and fix anything are slim especially if they subcontract it with a cheap installation crew. Good luck with getting them to fix anything .Bottom line is nobody’s gonna want to come out and fix your shit after they get paid for free, especially if there is no warranty. I don’t type all this. I just ramble on into the microphone BTW. 🤣
@@marcissobadass With those utility rates you have to be retarded to not want solar on your house. Here the rate is about $0.25/kwh.
You can also get a lease or PPA with a 0% escalator so the payment stays the same throughout. But in any case, the total of payments, regardless of the escalator, is the same at the end of 25 years. So, the purpose of the escalator is to increase savings up front while the utility rate is where it is now. As the utility rate increases, so will the escalator. Leases and PPAs are good options for a many homeowners.
Sounds like a lot of bullshit...I will never get solar. We get about 5 guys a week wanting to install solar. I had to become an asshole to them.
What would happen to the Solar Panels when the Sun won’t shine ✨ and the Moon turns into Blood before the great day of the Lord. ?????
Making obvious declarations hoping to generate attachments.......you thought it possible,,,, are you judging others by your standards?
This guy is a con artist too, telling you what the other guy does - same as he does. Dont get solar on your house.
I’ve got a better solution. Don’t even have them at all. Just pay your bill whatever the price. barely goes up a couple hundred pound a year.
your loss if you don't like to save money.
You only need to know one thing to avoid a solar scam:
If they come to your house soliciting solar, it is a SCAM!!!!
