No offense, but that’s a terrible name for a solar company.

Why?

I’m confused about NBC12’s statement. Why have a discussion with the management team about airing the video?

Probably the biggest thing to watch out for is getting locked into a solar lease. If possible buy your solar PV equipment outright. Solar leases come with penalties for early termination. I work in the solar industry, in the training sector and write to a global audience on everything solar PV. It would be a conflict of interest to recommend specific companies. It's best to gather 3-5 quotes from large to small solar companies for the best balance of customer service and cost. Energysage is trusted by many Redditors to compare solar quotes by location, get $25 off by clicking this link. For another option in gathering solar quotes, EnergyPal helps to leave the final decision of the solar company selected, totally in your hands.

Are you approved, licensed and insured to operate in my state/county/city?

Ask for their license and policy number and verify that it’s in good standing with the appropriate licensing board and insurance providers.

Is my roof a good fit for a solar PV array?

Realistically, most solar panels can be arranged to capture the greatest amount of energy with adjustable racking technology and other assessment tools. In the end, some homes will have better solar coverage of their roof over others. Using a tool like Project Sunroof can help you assess on your own and without a salesperson. If your roof is covered in shade by large trees or a nearby building, north facing or in poor condition it may be not suitable for solar installation. Installing a new roof and solar system at the same time can be a cost effective way to combat climate change and lower your carbon footprint.

What happens if I want to sell my property or move out?

Look for specifics in your contract and ask for them to be explicitly noted. If there are any penalties or fees you’ll see them here. Another important point is the ability to move out of the property and rent it to tenants. In this case, the options should be stated as applicable. Perhaps you wish to have your tenant pay the electric bill but you wish to continue with the financing payments for the PV system. Learn all of these details up front and from the contract’s top to bottom.

Do you use contractors to install the equipment?

Using a third party contractor can bring opportunity for uncertified or unlicensed/uninsured workers on your property.

What type of warranty does the system and install come with?

Warranties and guarantees can vary greatly. They can exclude certain components and not provide a point of contact should something go wrong. Get as many details in writing as possible before signing a contract.

What is your estimated timeline for project completion?

Timelines can vary greatly and can influence total cost. Watch out for the estimated timeline and that it works with your schedule.

Can you provide the total cost of the system to me in digital or paper format?

If you are looking to finance or lease your system ask about any required down payment and how much monthly payments will be. Any state/federal/provincial tax credits/benefits should also be detailed here. We strongly advise readers to own their equipment outright to avoid any additional hidden costs or penalties/fees should they want to exit the contract or sell their property.

Southern Exposure Solar

Great local company - Ask for Grayson (804) 965-4040

I would avoid Sigora at all costs.

Grand jury indicts 10 people charged with Otieno’s death

I found them to be very pressing in perusing the contract. Solar was not the best option given the low 'offset' but they kept pressing me.

I used sigora solar. They were great, but it was more the sales person. Brian Gearing. He is fantastic. He works for a new company, Convert solar. brianwgearing@gmail.com or 804-263-0655. He is very low pressure.

Total racket

It's like that on the Facebook page also.

I mean we're already at a stage where Kraft Heinz have their foot in the door and are supplying school lunches l, which is effectively the same thing when you think about it.

It's not inconceivable that they provide them cheap as a loss leader then pull the old bait and switch and say to school boards "do this thing which is in our interests or we pull your cheap lunches".

Can't wait to send my kid to Carytown Tobacco High.

Yeah, in fact, the consultant I worked with lives in the city. I'll message you his info.

Every solar installer will provide that as part of their service

Unsure about that yet. Haven't gotten into the process. Gotta save up for the cost first.

Does the solar tap into your local power company to offset their bill?

Do they come out to Midlothian/Richmond Va?

I used Convert Solar, based in Va Beach. Fair pricing, great service, familiarity with the process with county permits and Dominion set up, great warranty.

Let me know if you want contact info for the sales guy, I'll try to find it.

Libbie Mill library is great

Oh my.

The roofing company I worked with recently is branching into solar. retex roofing were nice and offered us the best price for what we wanted. We actually want to do solar as well but required a new roof which needed to happen anyway.

> Well isn’t that scummy and corrupt,

If something is filed publicly in court, it's like posting it on a public bulletin board or reddit. There is nothing scummy or corrupt about that.

They should just name schools after numbers. It would solve a lot of headaches.

Its been way longer than that. It was renamed sometime late 2000's/early 2010's
