The world is a better place because of SolarCity. This is an inspirational company that touches every person that comes in contact with them. Imagine what the world will be like in a few years as more and more people choose solar to power their beautiful homes...
SolarCity is awesome! Finally you have a choice in your electricity provider. The contract is simple and everything is written in simple terms. They cover all maintenance, repairs, monitoring free for 20 years. They even place a $2 million insurance plan on your roof at no extra charge. If you can purchase a system great! If not, you can still save $ every month by leasing a system.
They are down here in Florida now. Essentially you make nothing off the deal. They pocket the Fed credit and then get payments out of you for 20 years that are higher than the electric would be if you just bought it from the power company. What you end up owning is the outdated gear that needs to be replaced by then. (You'll have to replace it with your roof no matter what so you better have a fairly new roof). Not even remotely a good deal. It would be ALOT less expensive for you to buy the panels, inverters, and mounting hardware and then hire a local company to come install the equipment. Better yet do it yourself in a ground or pole mount (then your roof will never be an issue and much easier/safer to install and maintain) and have an electrician come out and bless your work. You'd own it day 1 and would break even around year 10 instead of year 20.
Just started the process with solar city with buying it. Zero down. Electric payment goes down ($75 for 1st 18 mo. then goes up but still save 30 a mo. for remaining term) AND get 7k tax credit/rebate. Or roll the 7k back in and it remains $75 savings for full remaining term. NO BRAINER.
seems like a scam to me. you should be getting all power you need for free. they are getting all the land for their power company (your roof) plus you pay for the power that pays for the solar panels and the people pay for all the kickbacks the gov give you. people need to wake up.
gotta have a dummy A scam? The fucking electric companies are the scam dumb shit. Buy solar. Have free electricity. Or buy it on a loan and the electricity is free and the payment on the loan is less than average electric payment. Does that make sense?
I had Solar City install panels on my roof seven months ago and the system is still not up and running they have no explanation as to why in the mean time my electric bill is massive. My roof leaked as soon as the panels were installed and they still have not fixed it.
4ourthofjuly The panels were installed and turned on but the system was not converted over to Solar therefore increase load to electric panel which leads to higher electric bill. I am a customer of Solar City voicing my experience. I am not the only one, I know others unfortunately. Just keeping it real.
So the extra wiring alone drew power for seven months? If you already signed your contract with solar city to buy electric city from them, why would you be the one paying your old electric bill at that point? Still not buying it.
Also cant belie e that your profile says you've viewed over 2,000 videos, but all your comments are rants against solar city. Sounds like a shill. How much were you'd supposed to pay them for electricity and how much for the lease?
well if youd like contact me and i can give you a free no obligation energy consultation!! i work for solarcity!! message me and ill shoot you my number
solar cities to add power walls at a great price to the packages in nevada when the solar users in nevada go off grid or build neighborhood installations so no grid link is needed then the power company that won't work with their customers becomes unnecessary and redundant.lets see them make more money in that climate lol..
Taking your part in creating a better future is all good without a doubt. But I don't buy this "you'll pay less" bullcrap. Can a 10 years old solar city customer convince me it's true?
Don't buy on these guys, they are fraud. Buy the system for your self. Aka the Tesla powerwalls plus the solar panels. Mine cost 18k (with everything) and it's mine.

tockblade >believing you're saving anything when you have to pay a rental fee (that can be as high as 100/month) that increases 5% every year.
I feel like this is something that we should have had awhile ago.
Carter put solar panels on the white house in 79. Reagan took them down in 86. Repubs wants to burn more fossil fuels and Dems want more renewable
yeah, and i would like the dems and repubs to stay out of my business and my wallet.
Very impressive entrepreneur! Fantastic marriage of products that have no catches.
I would love to work for Solar City!
They need to open a branch here in South Africa. Give back to their home country , this could be a solution to Eskom's load-sheddings.

Why would you say that "in the mean time my electric bill is massive"? Why would it be any higher after the install? Can't take this post seriously.
Seeing as how you have no other activity on your profile, I have to conclude you're a shill.

Its a trap to lease it. Buy your own Solar panels.
