Free solar

I think everyone has seen something about “free solar” in some ad here or there. I work for a solar company and can vouch that at least at my company it is in fact “free.” Basically you change power companies from your current one, to my company, and lock in a lower rate. In exchange we provide the panels at no cost whatsoever. No hidden charges.

Right...that isn’t a secret. But I can’t actually sell anything to anyone...it’s part of a qualification program. If someone just wants information to cut through the crap I’m happy to do that.

My landlord installed vivint solar panels. I’m paying vivint right now at a lower rate compared to pge, and also sending the unused energy back to the grid (hopefully will get credit back from pge). Good deal imo.

How much per kilowatt are you getting when sending excess electricity to the grid?

Some companies pay about 3 cents per kilowatt hour back to the customer. Some companies give you nothing. Totally depends on the utility.

The issue I am worried about now is selling our home with the vivint panels. Most ppl think it’s a scam but we have had no cost and only saved money so far

You shouldn’t have any issue at all. You just call the customer service and say you’re selling your home and once the sale goes through it switches over to the next person no problem.

Sounds like a lease. Like the PPA program where they put a lien on the home. But they don’t call it a lien but the homeowner can’t refinance or sell the house until the contract is paid off.
