[QUOTE="SportsmanNH, post: 2815728, member: 126773"] I could write a couple pages on this subject from the confrontations I've had with these companies . None of them positive . I am a land developer , home builder , real estate investor . So I will talk about a few scenarios I have run into . Both with buyers of new homes , sellers of homes that took the plunge into solar, and the Solar Companies themselves with their sales pitches. Buyer Of New Home ) More than a few times a buyer of my new construction homes wants to have solar panels installed while the house is under construction . He wants to hire the solar company . I tell them all they can have them installed after closing . I dont want to have solar panel contractors on my jobs for liability reasons . I also tell the buyer that as soon as the first screw goes into the brand new roof after closing , their roof warranty is considered void . The solar company now owns that responsibility if there is a leak . Also all electrical components are also void since they will be tinkering with the electric panel. These are written on my warranty that is signed by the buyer at closing . One customer sent his solar company to talk to me to convince me everything will be fine if they come in while the house is being built . After he threw his bogus pitch I said no politely of course . So the buyer had them come in shortly after closing . Within a week after the solar company came in and installed their stuff ( which was a month after we closed ) , the now homeowner calls me and says they have no water. This house has a drilled well . I have my well company ( which is the best co in NH ) come down , and finds the solar company messed with the 220 pump wire and breaker . I called my electrician over . He was in the development working on another house. He looks at it and says " *** ! They could of burnt the house down with what they did ! " . Solar company comes down and I tell him he owes the homeowner a new pump to the tune of $2,850 . He tries to defend what they did to my electrician. My electrician told him he is NUTS and would have the electrical inspector there in minutes to verify. Solar guy shut right up and paid the well company to put the new pump in , AND paid my electrician on the spot to redo the wiring back to code. Next up will be homeowners contracts with solar companies and what it does to their home value. When I get a moment I will post again. Right now I got a call from Wifey who needs help with some errands . Honey Do list never ends ! 🤣 [/QUOTE]
