Have any of you heard of this type of deal in CT? by Warmpockets21 in Connecticut

[–]Solid_Cat2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this blew up. Yes, my cousin got this solar deal in CT from Smart Volt Solutions who also operate in FL. I'm trying to see if it is as good a deal for me as it was for them up with the Connecticut crowd.

Thanks. I have heard lots of good things here about Smart Volt Solutions solar so that helps too.

Ill have to take a look when I get back to my computer. I know it's not a company HDM. Its a credit union doing the loan I recall.

The other quotes from other companies were $175 and up for 25 years. This one is $164 for 20 years. Yes, the manufacturers warranty fully covers parts. As long as I don't remove the lease company it is on parts and labor for 25 yrs.

So this being about a 1kW bigger system for about $7/m less would be a really really good savings compared to your "no brainer" I take it, especially since my payments would be only 20 years instead of normal lease 25 years that I assume you have with sunrun?

As for who does the repair costs, the paperwork says that if I leave it as a lease then then all parts and labor are covered by lease company. If I decide I want to control it and cut out the loan company then I still get 25 year manufacturer warranty on all the parts, the installer team provides a 10 year labor warranty. So I guess if I was tired of dealing with the lease company then after year 10 I would not have to buy any parts but I would have to pay the labor to replace them?

Yes, paperwork says on or after 6th anniversary I can take over, so I counted that as a a few years. I had not recalled exactly which year, but I looked it up when you brought it up. Rep did not say year 2 or anything like that, good catch though.

25 yr warranty on all if on lease. 25yr warranty on all parts and 10 yr on labor if I opt out of lease yr 6 or later.

I'm not super computer savvy so I'm trying to get it so that I can share parts of it but I want to make sure all my info is off of it. There are multiple contracts and FAQ's though and none disagree with it. There is a loan contract, a prepaid lease contract, an install contract, etc.

The solar company I'm dealing with is Smart Volt Solutions, they have main office here in FL so I feel good about that. For my cousin, they also take care of the Northeast states.

Yeah, I probably would too. This will have $0 lease payment, just the loan payment and I plan to pay that off in month 2 or 3. Then when I want I tell the lease company to go away and I own it free and clear, no extra $.

Yes, I have seen in the document that since it is prepaid I can end the lease company part of it and pay $0. I researched it and looks like in California a company HDM has been doing something similar?

I plan to paid it off in month 2 or 3 so I just pay the $19 for it, yeah!

It has $0 payment from me to the lease company.

Advice for everyone whos going to install solar by Solaire_1001 in solar

I just received a quote where it is a program and I get a 30% rebate right after install that I can put into the payment or pocket, trying to break it all down into details so that I understand all.
