US Solar Report: Consumer-Focused Publication
US Solar Report: A Consumer-Focused Publication because it’s precisely what the home solar industry needs, the unvarnished truth! The focus of this site is on the consumer, unlike the solar companies. Most of the information about solar is either a solar company explaining all the benefits of solar and tax credits or offsetting your power bill. They never talk about the additional costs that so many unsuspecting buyers have endured.
Solar sales methods are similar to auto dealerships. Solar companies have made an art out of selling a payment instead of home solar. The sellers of home solar have used tactics that squeeze every ounce of the benefits, the profits that belong to the homeowner. As a result, the marketing methods of home solar have driven up the cost of solar for homeowners from the very beginning.
The marketing methods of home solar creates many additional costs that are not related to solar. The following is a typical breakdown of what the solar company’s prices were and the additional costs.
Now it’s essential to understand that these are the high-end examples from 2017 through 2019. Companies are working hard to eliminate some of the overhead costs to compete. But, unfortunately, it’s challenging to change a company’s structure.

Many national brand solar companies never actually touch or see the solar panels. They make the sale using online blogs and other sales funnel methods. The key is they hire a general contractor who does many different types of construction, and the GC farms it out to an installer. Far too many hands are in the pot causing the cost to go up considerably.
What I have created is an opportunity for the solar buyer to deal directly with that same solar installer instead of sales funnels, and inexperienced GC’s charging inflated prices. I am Your Solar advocate who will guide and direct toward the best equipment and licensed and insured installation contractors in your market.
I connect you with directly with Solar Installation Contractors that exclusively do solar. You get the jobber price as if your a national brand solar company. When you decide to move forward you will deal directly with the installer who is licensed and insured with a minimum of 500 installations of home solar.
