The Solar Vigilante: Unmasking Solar Scams

Unmasking Solar Scams: How Go Solar Power Protects Homeowners

The solar industry is booming, but with rapid growth comes a surge in misleading practices that can cost homeowners thousands. At Go Solar Power, we’ve made it our mission to expose these scams and empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions. Here’s what you need to know and how we’re stepping in as the Solar Vigilante to protect you.

The Rise of Solar Scams

Rise of Solar Scams

As solar becomes a household name, some companies resort to unethical tactics to close deals. From hidden fees to false energy production claims, homeowners often face confusing quotes that promise savings but deliver disappointment. Consider these common scams:

  • Deceptive Pricing: Low upfront costs that hide significant long-term expenses, trapping homeowners into costly agreements.

  • False Yield Promises: Inflated energy production estimates that don’t match real usage, leading to unmet expectations.

  • Fine Print Financing: Loans with unrealistic terms disguised as “lower monthly payments” often conceal balloon payments or high-interest rates.

  • Subpar Equipment: Panels and inverters with poor quality, limited warranties, and high failure rates.

Real-Life Cases of Solar Scams

Case 1: Misleading Quotes in Parkland, FL

“N.P.”,

a homeowner in Parkland, received quotes from two companies promising unbeatable deals. However, a closer look revealed:

  • Inflated Prices: Pro Solar and Demand Solar quoted prices that were unreasonably high, reflecting desperate cash grabs rather than value.

  • Poor Panel Placement: Panels were planned for shaded areas, significantly reducing efficiency and savings.

  • False Savings Claims: Unrealistic energy production estimates aimed to mislead and confuse the homeowner.

After consulting with Go Solar Power, Niral saw through the deception and chose a transparent and efficient solution tailored to his needs.

Case 2: Lease vs. Ownership in Boynton Beach, FL

A young couple in Boynton Beach almost signed a lease that promised lower payments than their current utility bill. However, the production was far below their energy needs. By showing them their real energy usage on the FPL Dashboard and comparing it to the lease agreement, our team highlighted the scam. The couple canceled the lease and signed with Go Solar Power for a custom system that delivered actual savings and reliability.
