When it comes to choosing a solar provider, the options can be overwhelming. With so many companies making bold claims about huge savings, fast installations, and “free” solar, how do you know which one to trust? Unfortunately, many homeowners have fallen victim to solar scams, misleading promises, and fly-by-night companies that vanish just a few years after installing their systems.
At Go Solar Power, we take our role as Solar Vigilantes seriously. We’ve seen the bad actors in the industry, and we’re here to expose their tricks while guiding you toward honest, reliable solar solutions. Below, we’ll reveal the top red flags to watch for when choosing a solar company and show you how to identify a trustworthy provider that will stand by your investment for decades.
Beware of High-Pressure Sales Tactics
🚨 Red Flag: If a solar company is pushing you to sign on the spot, that’s a warning sign. Many unreliable companies use aggressive sales tactics to rush homeowners into contracts without fully explaining costs, warranties, or system performance.
As Solar Vigilantes, we believe in transparency over pressure. A reputable solar provider will take the time to educate you on your options, answer all your questions, and provide a detailed, itemized quote—without making you feel forced into a decision.

Are They Hiding the True Cost of Solar?
🚨 Red Flag: Many solar companies advertise “free solar” or “$0 payments forever”—only to sneak hidden fees into long-term contracts. Others inflate the cost per watt and bury extra charges in confusing paperwork.
As Solar Vigilantes, we stand for honest pricing. We provide a straightforward breakdown of your system cost, including equipment, installation, financing, and available incentives. With us, there are no hidden fees, no misleading terms, and no surprises.

Check for Certifications & Industry Credentials
🚨 Red Flag: If a solar installer isn’t certified or has no industry affiliations, that’s a problem. A reputable solar provider should have key certifications that prove they meet high standards for safety and performance.
At Go Solar Power, our team includes NABCEP-certified professionals, which is the gold standard for solar expertise. We are also fully licensed and insured, so you can trust that your installation is being handled by experts.

Are Their Warranties & Service Agreements Strong Enough?
🚨 Red Flag: Some companies promise long-term warranties—but disappear before you ever need service. Others only cover equipment, leaving you on the hook for labor or maintenance costs.
At Go Solar Power, we back every system with comprehensive warranties that include:
✅ 25-year solar panel warranty
✅ 10-year workmanship guarantee
✅ Monitoring & system performance support
Unlike many installers who vanish after installation, we’ll still be here to support you for decades.

What Do Past Customers Say? Read the Reviews!
🚨 Red Flag: If a company has low ratings, no online reviews, or a history of complaints, that’s a major red flag. Too often, homeowners get stuck with unresponsive customer service, poor installations, or failed promises.
A reputable solar provider should have positive, verifiable customer reviews across sites like:
🌟 Google Reviews
🌟 Better Business Bureau (BBB)
🌟 SolarReviews.com
At Go Solar Power, we’re proud of our 4.8-star Google rating and A+ BBB accreditation. Our customers consistently praise our transparency, quality installations, and long-term support.
