Oh yeah, no, I wasn't criticising you. It's just that all these solar guys are notorious for being shitheads about their solar leases. They're as bad as the timeshare guys.

I took no offense to what you said. I think solar leases are a complete scam. The sales person sold the elderly couple an undersized system that left them still paying for electricity from PG&E every month. And a few years from now, I will be paying more per kWh than from PG&E. But the delta won’t be huge so based on the discount it was okay with me. But yeah it’s incredible that Solar city sold these people this lease, it’s practically useless for them and it’s definitely useless for me.
