Path-Q Solar

What sales claims about solar savings should make me cautious?

Answer

Be cautious of guaranteed savings without bill analysis, claims of free solar, pressure to sign immediately, unverified incentives, perfect production promises, unsupported home-value claims, and savings based on future rate increases.

Key points

  • Ask for assumptions and written evidence.
  • Separate payment claims from total cost.
  • Independent verification is valuable for incentives and utility rules.

What it depends on

  • Sales materials
  • Contract
  • Production and bill model

Risks and trade-offs

  • Aggressive claims can hide exclusions or financing costs.
  • A guarantee may be limited by complex conditions.

Information you may need

  • Written savings calculation
  • Full price and financing terms
  • Source for incentive claims
