I hope it helps with your research and to avoid some of the bad solar companies out there. All the best!

We had a very good experience with Brian Gearing at Convert Solar. He knew his stuff. Low pressure but kept in touch. Pretty seamless install and permitting. Stuck to the timeline. Got us set up with reselling SRECs. Price was right- we joined the local solar co-op and got an already negotiated price. The only hiccup we had was the installers were about to directly drill panels into our metal roof. Thankfully, I was watching what they were doing and stopped them. Got it sorted out quickly and they used seam clamps like they were supposed to. Haven’t had any problems since install 8 months ago. Didn’t like Sigora at all. Salesperson was an absolute dufus with no respect for my time.

Everything there is closed now except for the Dollar Tree. Not sure when they'll be forced out but it's just a matter of time

Generally, more than you would think. Even a sober person can put up a surprising amount of fight when fight or flight response kicks in.
Vividly remember it taking like 6 adults to hold my brother down to get bloodwork when he was 5 or 6 and that was while having significant medical issues. He was just that terrified of needles and his flight or fought response was a lot even for being a little kid.
That said, I just don't see any real fight coming from the victim here. Movement looks minimal and the LEO response obviously wildly over the top. Don't see how anyone could justify their actions.
Not sure I agree with charging the medical staff though. It's not really reasonable to expect them to have intervened. Morally maybe, but they could just as easily end up dead trying to stop the police here.

How do some people here clean the pollen off their panels? I've tried everything but this green shiz streaks and cakes...

Radiant Solar is a great company that will actually evaluate and give you the truth about whether it's worth it or not on your house. Only about 2 in 10 really are apparently.

Maybe I shouldn't have wait until 202X when all this wraps up after appeal in order for me to exercise my right to petition government for redress of grievances.
I'd like to know what Henrico Sherriff's Department is going to do to prevent this from happening again before it goes to trial.

For real. 9/10 people would look at my screen and be like, “I literally have no idea what this is”. They may get a glimpse of my wicked Slack meme skills though.

fun fact, markets do indeed care about people's opinions.

I agree with that. That’s why this comment from u/gracetw22 has always stuck with me.

I don't do anything near interesting enough to have that be a concern.

Big solar companies don’t do residential jobs. As someone working in the solar industry, rooftop residential solar is too predatory for me to ever feel comfortable in.

When I was in high school, a rep from PepsiCo visited our school during the lunch periods. She was handing out free bottles of Josta and related swag like soccer jerseys, t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc. I’ve always found that odd.

Fair, I laughed. The industry is plagued by poor explanations and overpriced installs. It doesn’t take a lot of math ability to look at warranty expiration compared payoff timelines for the “0 down” offers to realize you never own the panels and you will barely reap much benefit. My gripe has nothing to do with the tech, or benefits of solar, and everything to do with big solar companies.

It's Richmond. People still call the Landmark Theater "The Mosque" even though it's none of those names.
