A&R Solar’s Post

I just had an idea: What if solar sales people had an option to track exactly what someone would have paid without solar, and then gave a discount? This would take a lot of confusion out of going solar, due to time of use rates, energy storage systems, etc. NEM 1.0 was pretty simple, but now with all of the different angles, it is super complex and requires a lot more guessing and often puts the gambling part on the customer and leaves a big opening for unethical sales. Perhaps even the utility can track what the cost without going solar/storage would have been, and then the installer just gives them something like a 10-50% discount, depending on the markets. This may be a way to keep everyone honest.

You can live frugally and still have high power bills!

HOT TIP 🔥🔥 Avoid cookie cutter solar sales companies because the money you “save” with a cheaper system could bite you in the bum in as little as as a few years down the line…(aka “you get what you pay for)”

Why are so many New Jersey solar installers closing and ghosting their customers? In New Jersey, installers have to warranty the installation for 5 years. If you install cheap equipment it is easier to take the profit, close, reopen, and repeat that process under a new name. Service and maintenance do not pay the bills. Paying crews to maintain products is a losing battle. No one can afford to keep up with the failure rates of cheap solar energy products. Please make sure your installer is looking out for you. Consumers in N.J. chose out of state chain solar energy installers are now looking for local companies to do maintenance on their failing energy systems.

After working with/for folks financing the solar industry and doing quite a bit of homework on residential solar providers near me, we chose to “pull the trigger” on the purchase of solar for our home in Scottsdale, AZ. Our ROI on the purchase price is ~7 years, inclusive of tax benefits and absent price increases from the energy supplier for our area. Although we are just a quarter more than a full year post-installation, our system is performing better-than-anticipated from production and degradation perspectives – and I have become addicted to the “real time” monitoring capabilities that I check daily from my phone (reference the attached screenshot). The ROI was not there (yet) for the installation of batteries, though. Any suggestions on how best to stay up to speed on battery capabilities and costs?
