So AD/CVD has been in effect for 10 years and the industry is still weasling around them such that it affects 2/3rds of the market? Sounds like they aren’t trying.

Jordan is 100% right . I am in the exact situation right now. We had a very old roof when SunRun the biggest solar company at the time. Had a salesman tell us that our roof is acceptable to have solar panels on, but don’t worry our company will remove them free of charge one time to replace the roof. We finally got a new roof this year taking out a home equity loan and at the cost of $22000 we had to pay sunrun an additional $2000 to remove the panels because the 20 page contract the salesman had us sign after promising a couple of times that they would remove the panels for free. Included a clause that not only would they charge us but the contract also added that it superceded any other prior agreements. Without even stating how much it would cost. The day that they said they were charging us they wouldn’t tell us how they came to that amount. I could go on for days how a multi million maybe even billion dollar valued company screwed us over. They even wanted to charge us for two of the panels that weren’t working and that they had already told us they were replacing. They were gracious enough to take that off of the price. Gee thanks. Finally after filing a complaint with the BBB did they have someone call us saying they would contact the salesman of whom nobody prior even knew who it was. and on and on and on. I hope that they aren’t able to get their panels because if they don’t replace within 180 days they are in breach of their own contract

Jordan, I’m truly sorry you had that kind of experience. I’m in the solar industry, and work for a Certified B corp that employees over 100 people. In our area alone there are probably thousands employed in our Industry. And – there are a couple of companies that probably employ less than 50 people, and that use such deceptive marketing practices and poor installation services, they are giving our entire industry a bad name. Our states AG has open investigations. We have numerous complaints filed ourselves. We work to have these companies precluded from using any state funding because of their deceptive marketing practices. We do our best to educate consumers, but I do recognize it’s still a problem. So – again, I’m truly sorry for you, or anyone, who falls victim to these companies, but please consider not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I think the solar industry in some cases is reaping what it has showed into the lives of innocent families like mine who went solar and now face financial hardship due to the lies and deception of solar companies. It’s amazing to me that they continue to get away with harming low income families like mine. How about you report on that? Feel free to contact me if you want to report on the real story that’s happening in America. Thank you
