Solar Panel Companies To Avoid – We’re not naming, but armed with knowledge, it will be obvious…Especially in their advertising…
Based on the search results about the type of solar panel companies to avoid, it seems there is some truth to the claim that people are being misled about grid-tie solar systems, though the issue is complex.
The key points from problem solar panel company research are:
1) Grid-tie solar systems do shut off when the grid goes down, so they provide no backup power during outages. This is an important limitation unannounced by several solar panel companies to avoid and that some consumers may not fully understand[1][3][6][14].
2) There are some potentially misleading ads and sales tactics used by some solar companies, like exaggerating potential savings or tax benefits[1][6][15][21][24]. Consumers need to do their research and be wary of high-pressure sales tactics.
3) However, grid-tie solar can still provide significant savings on electric bills through net metering in many areas[8][13]. (Actually, this Is Not True) But, Do Your Own research — You are responsible to yourself.
