Note sull'episodio
In Episode 27 of the Solar Power Hour, William Grant and Austin Bare pull back the curtain on everything wrong with the solar industry — and they are not holding back.
From federal legislation removing homeowner tax credits to leasing companies funneling your payments into PAC funds, from disrespectful door-to-door reps making the industry look bad to a competitor paying an overseas phone farm to sabotage Sun Collectors' ad spend — this episode covers the full picture of why the solar industry has become so toxic, and what you can do about it.
But it is not all bad news. William and Austin also break down what a legitimate solar company looks like, why owning your system will always beat renting your roof, and how Sun Collectors is building a different kind of solar company in central Illinois.
Episode Highlights:
⚡ Why the federal government removed the 30% tax credit and who actually benefits
⚡ How solar lease payments get pocketed and funneled into PAC funding for politicians
⚡ The overseas phone farm a competitor paid to drain Sun Collectors' ad spend using real homeowner data
⚡ Why leasing adds zero equity to your home and hands all your incentives to the leasing company
⚡ What an honest solar consultation actually looks like vs. the free solar clickbait pitch
⚡ How to use the Illinois Power Agency to research solar companies and complaints in your area
⚡ Why local solar companies that service their own systems are the only ones worth trusting
⚡ How Sun Collectors gives back through charity events, Rotary, and community involvement
Whether you are a homeowner considering solar or someone who has already been burned by a bad solar company, this episode is required listening.
