    Tired of these News Stations and reports NOT mentioning WHO the heck these companies/ contractors are! I'm pretty convinced that you guys are getting some compensation from businesses here in Las Vegas!!!! You guys ACT like you're on our side, BUT, you don't mention who these corrupt companies are, therefore, continuing to have us even do business, spend our hard-earned money, and be robbed with them. Absolutely shameful.

      An “investigation” like this with no “results” sounds like a puff piece for NVEnergy. I do know that SolUp is in bed with a lot of these news/public persons trying to trash other companies while doing some shameful work themselves.

    I used to work for a solar company in the maintenance department and constantly was dealing with customers who were told one thing by the sale's guy and their contract says something completely different. I cannot iterate enough, if you don't see a printed contract that you can read and go through line by line and ask questions about then you shouldn't be moving forward with the project. I got solar panels and I absolutely love my solar panels, but I did not get them from the company I worked for. I think the most important thing to remembor is if they are rushing to get you to sign a contract and get their guys out there super fast, you should question all of that. I'm not saying things can't move quickly, but there's moving quickly and there is trying to rush you so you don't realize the mistake you're making.

      You can also record any conversation with the sales rep as they are an agent of the company so you will be able to hold them accountable

      @@johnknightiii1351 Technically.Yes, you can record them, but in order for it to be admissible.In court they have to be aware they're being recorded and agree to being recorded. However, if they're not willing to be recorded, that's kind of a red flag in and of first question would be, why don't you want to be recorded if you're on the up-and-up?You shouldn't be afraid of being recorded. I've worked so many retail and customer service and sales. Jobs in my life and customers get all upset about things and go. I'm recording you because I want to I don't know but I never have a problem with that because I'm gonna tell you what is true and correct to the best of my ability now. Have I ever told someone something wrong? Of course, I have. But realistically, I do my best to do the research.And if I'm not sure on an answer.I say I'm gonna need to get back to you on this after I do some research because I don't want to give you the wrong information.But beyond that record away.

    Hire an electrical contractor that also does solar....and not just a "solar company" and if you have to finance the system, then it may not be worth it as you probably won't get your return on investment

      Go look into solar technology, it is the same technology we were using in the 1960s to make panels, the efficiency improvements are very small now and don't matter for the average homeowner unless you don't have enough roof space to fit what you need up there with current technology.

    I had a femaile ride up on a skateboard with a tablet saying she "NEEDED to to speak with the home owner", she was pushy! i asked "what the name of the home owner was" she didnt know. I asked if " she knew what addres she was at" she didnt know.
    then i went into a long loud rant to her about the diferences between a want and a need and explained that she WANTED to speat to the home owne but DIDNT NEED to and that she should remove herself from the property as quickle as she could skate her ass off of it and made a point to turn to my right to make sure she knew i had a pow pow on my hip!

    Not being able to size your system larger than your current max usage is an issue. Many people are more energy efficient when they have a large power bill. If we could get enough solar to offset a few degrees cooler in their house or the EV they want to get if they could power it off solar by upsizing, more people would get solar

    • @AJ-ub1hv
      @AJ-ub1hv 3 месяца назад +1

      That is an option, you have to submit an extra form to NV energy and get them to approve it but you can say that you are going to get an EV and a hot tub or whatever and that can be added into your usage.

      Solar is beneficial as long as you have a reputable company and salesman. A lot of sales people aren't honest and do what is in their best interest and not the homeowners best interest unfortunately.
