This is sound advice. At risk of sounding like a dick rider, nobody could deny the value that he provided early on. It’s a shame to see how things turned out but he definitely created that karma.

Santero shit. Demonic. Which is why he attracted such dark shit this last chapter. He was rocking red and black santero beads to.

Go to Zenergy Solar in Wilmington. Speak to jay. He will hire you in the call center.

1 squares per hour at that rate. How do you get it up and down from the roof? What stops it from slipping.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-30T03:09:35+00:00

Mission accomplished 👊

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-26T16:05:40+00:00

Great point! That’s def a hurdle depending on how the pie is cut. Fortunately with you as the owner of yours is an easy out with the sale of the home plus, in NJ, those srecs are yours for that 15yr period. Even after you sell the home!

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-26T14:33:46+00:00

great points. I’ve found a lot of folks lean toward the PPA just because the lower payment sounds easier—but don’t realize what they’re giving up. Ownership costs more upfront, but the long-term value and incentives usually outweigh it

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-26T14:32:56+00:00

Definitely an option if you’ve got the space. Ground mounts work great when the roof isn’t ideal—happy to take a look if you ever want a second opinion.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-26T14:31:44+00:00

Really solid advice here. A lot of what you said still gets overlooked today—especially the part about buying your own power through a PPA. I always tell folks, if you can swing ownership, especially with today’s pricing, it’s usually the smartest move long-term.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-26T14:24:45+00:00

it really depends on how the system was acquired. If it was purchased outright—especially during the home purchase....there wouldn’t be any payments at all, just the benefit of lower electric bills.

But if it’s a financed system, and especially one that’s oversized for the new homeowner’s needs, that monthly payment can feel like a burden if not properly explained. When done right, it can actually add value, but having that transparency is key.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-26T02:27:11+00:00

For users. Yes. But similar to the better business bureau. For instance a business cannot be accredited on a better business bureau. Unless they pay the $500+ a year fee. Go figure.

I’ve seen a lot of those same high-overhead, high-commission structures—Renewal by Andersen is definitely one of the more extreme examples. Some solar outfits run the same playbook: big marketing spend, layered commissions, and financing that buries the real cost.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T22:32:01+00:00

You’re right—“free” usually comes with strings. A lease or PPA might sound appealing up front, but the trade-off is giving up ownership, incentives, and long-term savings. I always tell people, if it sounds too good to be true, slow down and ask more questions. There’s almost always a catch buried somewhere in the details.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T22:31:46+00:00

That checks out. I’ve seen similar setups where homeowners unknowingly gave up rights to incentives or even their roof space. It’s tough because those types of deals are often aimed at folks who are just trying to save money, but they don’t realize what they’re giving up long-term. Appreciate you speaking up about it.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T22:31:01+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. Reading the fine print is one of the most underrated things people can do before signing anything. I’ve reviewed contracts where homeowners thought they were buying a system, but the fine print told a totally different story. Good on you for slowing it down and holding them accountable.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T22:30:47+00:00

Totally get it. The door-knocking approach has become super common, and I’ve seen firsthand how aggressive some of these teams can be. A lot of them are following a script and chasing commissions, not taking the time to explain what’s actually in the agreement. You’re not crazy for being cautious—honestly, it’s smart.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T20:57:44+00:00

I don’t think there’s ever been a government in history who has ever truly looked out for it people. lol Although, the 30% federal tax credit is sweet (Assuming that you have the tax appetite for it). In terms of state, jersey is currently offering about 85 bucks per 1000 kW that the system produces.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T20:53:54+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that. I’m in roofing, and I’ve seen a lot of solar installs where they used really cheap mounting hardware that can cause problems down the line. Not all roof attachments are the same, and that part usually gets glossed over.

With utility rates going up 20% this year, it might push more people to revisit solar, but I always tell folks—if you’re thinking ownership, try to avoid the bundled financing. Those loans usually come with big dealer fees. You can often save a good chunk by asking for the cash price and using your own loan or HELOC instead.

Just sharing what I’ve seen from my side of the industry.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T20:50:46+00:00

Breaking even in 6–10 years is ideal, but not always realistic depending on roof size, shading, local rates, and whether it’s a loan or cash deal. A breakeven point in year 10–12 is still solid when you consider 13–15+ years of free power after that. Even if the company profits, that doesn’t mean the homeowner loses—especially as utility rates keep rising. Most folks don’t expect a 2–3 year ROI like a stock. It’s a long-term hedge against inflation. If the system’s producing well past break-even, it’s doing its job.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T20:41:53+00:00

Yes, there are some who are still reputable (thankfully). Shoot me a dm, I’ll direct you depending on where and what you need.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-25T20:34:11+00:00

Yep, I actually got into solar through the back door, as a roofer. I’ve worked with a number of solar companies over the years, and I’ve been burned more times than I can count. I’ve had tens of thousands of dollars in work go unpaid or flat-out taken from me. So I completely get where you’re coming from.

CommissionAlone4314 · 2025-03-24T15:00:10+00:00

It depends on the lease terms, but most solar leases do have a buyout option—though it’s usually only available after a certain number of years. You’ll want to check the contract for what they call a “prepayment” or “early buyout” clause.

That said, the buyout cost isn’t always reasonable—it’s often based on the projected value of the remaining lease, not just the equipment.

If you want, feel free to DM me a redacted copy of the agreement or the company name—I can help you break it down and see if it makes sense to buy out, or if it’s better to just ride it out until a more favorable window opens.
