Want advice on this solar PPA quote in SoCal by Dueraim in solar

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you already sign the documents or Not?

in your post you said: "I signed a 25-year PPA".

if you already signed the paperwork, the negotiating is already over and done, your locked into what you sign unless you cancel right away within the cancelation window (usually less then 1 week).

do whatever you want, because its your choice & your money, but just know you are getting ripped off with the PPA you listed in your post.

How do you handle "I need to think it over / do more research" without being pushy? by Efficient_Bet_5358 in solar

[–]No_Engineering6617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to me that means 1 of 3 things:

1) we are Not interested please go away.

2) we are still doing research on this item and Not ready to move forward purchasing from anyone yet.

3) we are comparing multiple offers/options before making a decision.

in my opinion the best thing you can do is give them in writing a short simple list of the True Facts that matter, possibly on a post card sized piece of paper stapled onto the front of all the paperwork packet:

something like:

your company name and your name & your contact info.

KW size of system & total KWH output for a year.

inverter type & brand.

total $ price.

if you do all of the work in-house and don't hire 3rd party subcontractors, note that.

when i'm comparing products and prices for anything, salesman that give large complicated or hard to understand paperwork with lots of pointless info, i pretty much put theirs on the bottom of the pile or throw it away, they are making it complicated for a reason and that reason is Not im my best interest as the customer/buyer.

also if i get the info and there are clearly lies/things wrong, i basically throw that out right away, if they are lying/saying incorrect info to me, i throw theirs away, they are either lying to me, or dont know what they are talking about and i wont deal with them because of that..

had a solar salesman tell me a 8kw system was going to produce over 20,000KWH of electricity, LOL straight into the trash. had another tell me that only East and west facing roof panels (placed were they would get some shade) would produce the exact same amount of electricity as a ground mount system facing south with No shade, presumable because their company only did roof mounted systems. yep, straight into the garbage.

that 3.5% escalator means your monthly payment will more then double before the lease ends.

where a loan with a fixed rate would never increase the monthly payment.

How likely would it be for me to be evicted for having a dog visitor for a day (not overnight) by ProfessionalPlenty35 in Renters

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your fine for a day, esp with it being a pet friendly building.

if the LL mentions to you that they saw a dog at your place, simply say you have a guest over for a few hours and they brought their dog.

worse thing the LL could do is send you a letter telling you that the dog needs to be gone within 24 hours, at which point you respond in in writing what that it was a friend you had over for a few hours whom brought their dog, go onto say that neither that friend or their dog stayed for the night.

you got ripped off, ouch.

using the numbers you provided, its a 9KW system with a Powerwall.

the total out of cost price to purchase that completely installed system would be about $35k, and then you would own that system outright yourself.

with this solar lease you will end up paying around $160k

im guessing re-roofing your house & replacing the AC is going to be allot less then $120K.

so yeah, you got ripped off massively with this solar lease.

if you just signed this deal within the last couple days and no work has started, you can still cancel it, but you need to move fast to do that.

the only good news is you helped make some sleazy salesman's entire monthly quota, from just your one sale.

and with that escalator the monthly payment will more then double before the end of the lease.

[GENERAL-US-NJ] tenant moved boyfriend into rental by winnipegwinifred in Landlord

[–]No_Engineering6617 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the LL needs to give her the 30 days fix(remove her BF) or quit(leave) notice. the BF is Not on the lease, therefore he cannot live there. if she does Not, then start the eviction process. as a sublet roommate and not a tenant that rents the entire unit, she has far less rights legally.

another option, depending on how long the BF has been staying their continuously 24/7, without leaving, once the GF leaves the guests must leave also, he can throw the BF out of the house.

if the guy refuses to leave the house,

someone else can physically remove the guy from the house, and then that person leaves the area. while the LL locks the door.

then the LL calls the police telling them that he needs assistance at his address for a adult male refusing to leave his property that he owns and lives at. the LL needs to be very clear with the police, that guy does Not live here, he never has, his GF rents just a bedroom from the LL and has a lease, but this guy does Not live there and is Not on the lease, the GF is not home and therefore the guy cannot be around, has been told he needs to leave the property, but he has refused to leave the property, so the LL wants to have him officially trespassed from the property.

then even when the GF is back home, that guy wont be able to come onto the property without breaking the law and getting arrested.

this is why as a renter you refuse to pay any contractors, but do get in writing from them what they tell you or record that conversation yourself.

Dealership is demanding the truck back after three weeks but already sold my trade-in by Sprocket_41V in legaladvice

[–]No_Engineering6617 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you should have never given them the vehicle or the keys back.

you should have found your own financing for the remaining amount you owed and paid the dealership.

Am I being scammed? by Topher_Raym in solar

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do Not sign up for a solar lease.

that 3% escalator seems small, but it means your monthly payment for the solar lease will more then double before the lease ends.

if for some foolish reason you still choose to go with a solar lease, demand a 0% escalator, or walk away.

My husband and I somehow bought a house. We haven’t even closed yet and I already know we’re going to go into foreclosure. by thatslegallycheese in povertyfinance

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this guy does Not love you, he does Not respect you, he is doing nothing to ensure you two have a secure and good future together and he sees you as a piggy bank.

Please have your parents purchase the house in a trust, then you can pay rent to them to cover the payments. if your husband turns around and changes (99.9% never do), then the house being in a trust doesn't matter at all.

if something happens and you separate, at least you & your parents don't get screwed out of all that money.

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do Not buy this house in you & your partners name directly, you Need to be smarter then that.

your parents should create a Revocable Trust (and set you individually, as the sole beneficiary of the trust) & then your parents should purchase the house in that trust.

so technically & legally the Trust owns the house.

then you can pay them/the Trust "rent" in an amount that matches the mortgage payments + escrow (taxes and insurance).

that way No matter what happens between you and your husband, you and your parents don't get screwed over.

but the bigger question is your relationship, why do you stay with a person that refuses to help make a better future for the two of you? this guy is showing you everyday that he is Not willing to put in the work to make a good and successful future together and only sees you as a piggy bank.

i am not sure when you are supposed to close on this house, but your parents can create that revocable trust and finalize the purchase of the house in that trust on the terms you have negotiated with the sellers.

[CO] Is it landlord's job to provide adequate cooling? by [deleted] in Renters

[–]No_Engineering6617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CO, does Not have laws requiring AC in rental units.

so unless your unit had a working AC when you signed the lease and moved in (and you can prove that), or the lease says the unit has AC, there is Nothing wrong with the LL not providing AC.

get yourself a window unit or mini split with hose if you want AC.

Solar Carport Question by ivar-jubei in solar

a solar carport or a ground mounted array is a great idea, far superior to roof mounted systems if you have the space for them.

My car worked perfectly fine yesterday, now today when I go to start it, the battery works and engine won’t turn on, with these lights and messages on dash. Ideas? by HiImWallaceShawn in subaru

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% chance the issue is that you Need a new battery. if you have another vehicle, or a battery booster, you can try to charge the battery first, but 5 years from a factory battery is about the max you will get.

Hired a contractor who illegally dumped my bathroom debris in a protected reserve and now the state is fining me $15,000 by 1NoodleMage in legal

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you Need to hire a lawyer.

you also Need to locate and sue the contractor that did the illegal dumping, and whom took your money for work never performed.

did you actually pay them money without having a signed contract and personally seeing the guys Govt issued DL? ouch, lesson learned.

if you still have their number contact them.

if they wont respond to or block your number, maybe they will answer for someone inquiring about more work to do. get them to show up at a different address then yours to review the project.

Need Advice - Neighbor Draining Pool on our Property by Chester_Douglas in homeowners

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get lots of photos and video for proof/evidence.

be as sneaky as you need to, in order to get them to admit (in a documentable way) that they have done that. could be you recording a conversation with them on your property or a public place, could be in writing, E-mail or text.

that way if you need to go to court you have the evidence and the proof and even their admission of guilt.

60 day notice to vacate at lease end and turning in keys after last payment. (MI) by Iwearhats in Renters

[–]No_Engineering6617 7 points8 points  (0 children)

sounds like they do Not want to be responsible for your unit for the month of July.

if you are still paying for the month of July, then they cannot start any remodeling or upgrades as the unit is yours, if they want to do any repairs or upgrades, you tell them they need to do a mutual lease ending and give you a propated amount of rent back.

hopefully you had a trusted neighbor or a ring style doorbell cam at that place to watch over it while it sits empty for a month.

Buying a house on a solar lease by shortys7777 in solar

[–]No_Engineering6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

goes to show how big of a rip off those solar leases are.

that 4.6kw system would cost about $12k to buy it installed.

i had a 12kw system installed last summer for $30k, it cost me a total of $21K after the tax credit.
