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.

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.

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.
