I know grifters and charlatans infest every industry, but it feels especially bad when they're taking advantage of folks who are trying to do positive things. It's a shame these state attorneys general aren't chomping at the bit to combat these scams.

For our New England peeps: we've had a really good experience with ReVision Energy. They've linked us to the state webpages with explanations of tax incentives and other programs that impact our plans, are a worker-owned co-op, and have been pleasant to work with. When we had some panels that weren't producing what they should, they warrantied them but ended up allowing us to keep two panels for our own separate solar plans and the techs even sent us links to resources for those projects.
