How is this a hard sell ? I have solar and my electricity bill is $24 a month, 2300 square foot house with three people living in the house. This should be a big plus for both buyer and seller. Electricity is not getting cheaper and will be going up.
@@bobblacka918 Whole home solar systems can be purchased for around $20k and DIY installed with little skill. Much of the cost of the systems you refer to is for labor and commissions. I would never consider the door-knocking solar companies.
It's so nice for the State to put the word out, after these people have been knocking doors for years! All the ads online about how "Florida requires Floridians get their solar for free". I have never received anything from the state to confirm that. What a bunch of standard operating procedure in Florida. We'll tell you how to secure yourself after there are thousands of people running into trouble. And we still don't have clear knowledge how Homeowner Insurance companies look at the matter. When I ask the door knockers what happens if my roof is damaged in a storm, how does it get replaced if it has solar panels attached, and they say "we would come and remove the panels and they have a 'lifetime' guarantee". Yeah, as long as that company is still around for the rest of my life. Too many questions and not enough clarification and legal protection from the state. Any of these companies who sell to elderly should lose their licenses immediately
Solar panels don't last forever. They wear out with time. I've had solar panels that lost 50% of their efficiency after 10 years, although that varies. Sure, they come with a 20 year warranty, but will that company still be around 15 years from now? What happens when you need a new roof? How much will it cost to have all the solar panels removed and then reinstalled after a new roof?
Told my neighbor this exact same thing earlier this year. He and his wife are in their 70s and we are in Michigan and they put solar on their roof which just makes no sense.
Ur an idiot. Get educated with real facts than post opinions. This is all lies. Literally just a peopoganda piece by the electric company. Your an idiot for believing it
In Southwest FL, the solar salesmen knock on my door often. I tell them I don't want solar on my roof. My home insurance company will not allow it. My current electric bill, around $100.00
Everything on and in your house depreciates. The main difference is solar panels are the only asset that will pay for itself and then some over time. In addition although they do depreciate they last longer than almost any other part of your house with a warranty of 25 years from almost all manufacturers.
You never mentioned that you may have power when the grid may be down…by the way - the solar panels do not penetrate the roof - where did you get that guy? The hurricane last October 2023 that went thru Tampa area - there is a small city with 2000 homes all solar powered and not a one had their roof effected- the Air Force base their all the homes have solar power on their roofs and they also experienced no issues. Pretty sure that this story was paid for by the power company.
Where is the other side of the story Shannon? Are you only a half reporter? Or is this just a paid propaganda from the utility companies… real state agents think they won’t be able to sale properties that have solar?
Notice how script readers never mention the commission people are making / or if the electric goes down so does your solar panel power …people need to stop following comedy channels like this…
This was just so much bullshit the roof doesn't need penetrated if you are taking out a second mortgage you have been had ....why they consider it depreciating thing is also ridiculous as the generate power for 30 or more
First thing is to beware of "shady" salesman and companies who go door to door. Check the credentials', licenses and background of the companies. A professional company with W2 insurance for ALL its installers will cost more but complete a professional installation with the highest quality materials and warranties. Those cheap companies are nothing but trouble as in the end you get what you pay for long term on the home. Also most panels these days have an 85% efficiency guarantee or better after 25 years, and will continue generating beyond that well after 40-50 years. With all the sunshine in the sunshine state of FL it's a no brainer to install solar by a professional company for all the sunshine savings and 30% tax credit! when a homeowner pay in cash for solar they won't have any other issues. Get your facts straight before you report misinformed FAKE NEWS!!
These panes will be obsolite soon, the new technology is much better, even the old tech is much cheaper now. People got suckered putting that junk on their roof
Current solar panels will never be obsolete as long as we require 60 Cycle electricity at 240 volts which is what the US has been using since the dawn of the electric age. It's nothing like a cell phone which won't even work after 6 or 8 years. New panels may put out more power for dollar spent or per square foot on your roof but as long as they're working they will be profitable.
@@FourthWayRanch that's not true anymore. In most places if you take out a home equity loan with payments equaling your projected Savings in electricity for your system you will finish paying back the loan in less than 10 years. So for the first 10 years you won't pay any extra money at all and after 10 years you have free electricity for the life of the system.
Not entirely accurate. There are so many variables regarding solar systems and potential savings. Much of the cost of these systems is for labor, so if you DIY it, your break even point could be as little as 5 years, leaving you with 15 to 20 years of free energy.
@@jrvane11 Nothing's free. Especially anything to do with the Solar Panel game and the EV game. I haven't played with the Solar Panels yet, but I have owned an EV. The range anxiety was the biggest problem. I got rid of the EV as soon as Tesla started talking about dropping prices and wound up losing 22K. Had I waited another few weeks the loss would have been closer to 40K. Full EV's should be totally discontinued. Hybrids, while much less problematical....they still need better repair infrastructure to tamp down the very high pricing for repairs. Tire prices...wow, forget it with EV's. For now, my wife and I decided to go with a Honda ICE...when Hybrid becomes more mature, I'm sure we will dive back in. I know this was supposed to be about Solar, but just trying to save others some of the headaches.

Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
it’s the freaking sunshine state! No one should need a second mortgage to be able to use it! Greed all around.
You're naive
You can just make your own panels! lol
How is this a hard sell ? I have solar and my electricity bill is $24 a month, 2300 square foot house with three people living in the house. This should be a big plus for both buyer and seller. Electricity is not getting cheaper and will be going up.
And how much do you pay each month to pay off the $67,000 loan you took out to pay for the solar panels?

Good question.
I looked at panels a couple years ago. Called my insurance agent to ask what if any cost difference would it be. He said that they would drop me.
Not if you guy it outright.
Pay cash for solar. Don’t lease or take massive loans. Problem solved.
How many people have $67,000 just lying around to pay cash for solar panels?
@@bobblacka918 I paid 25k for a 10kW system a year ago in Tampa. If you’re paying more you’re getting ripped off.
@@bobblacka918 You can DIY it for under $20k. Really easy to finance that low of a loan and pay it off in a couple of years.
Solar panels aren't that expensive the labor is the majority of the cost.
If every building had solar we wouldn't need any other power source in the state!
Except when it’s cloudy !
@@user-ni9ny6ei6w I don't believe you understand how solar works mate
I find these experts and reporters laughable. Ask the inspector? Real estate agent? Shannon? Smh. Smart people put them off grid. Ha ha.
Notice how script readers never mention the commission people are making / or if the electric goes down so does your solar panel power …people need to stop following comedy channels like this…
Solar systems usually include a battery bank to store the energy for night time or low-light use. Can't imagine purchasing a system with one.

yay scamnomics yay plastics yay chemicals yay 2024 what a shit show
Great topic, Shannon! And happy birthday 🎉
Good
There’s no savings with solar or wind. It’s extremely expensive. You could pay a $200/month power bill for 30years and still come out ahead.

This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
