As long as no money changed hands, there is no problem.
Your Dad is not competent to sign a contract.
End of story, most likely.
It would cost money for the panel guy to file a lawsuit.
He is in business to make money - NOT to pay lawyer and court fees.
Have you been to sub Saharan Africa before? I have and you are not right. As at now anyways.

Many decades ago. Never seen anything to contradict
OK thanks, my stomach is in knots over this as he was scammed a couple of years ago out of a lot of money, and yes thank God he didn’t give them any this time.
The answer is clean burning natural gas from the great states of Louisiana and Texas. lol
So, have any of you guys heard/read about this hydrogen technology, specifically using H2O. The technology agitates (simplified Texas Tawk) water, causing the hydrogen to be released from the water with the byproduct of the process being...oxygen.
I saw a video years ago about a retired radio station owner seeking a treatment/cure for cancer. His cancer.
Anyhow, he marched down the dock behind his home in Florida, filled a test tube with saltwater. He then placed the test tube in a jig between a high frequency signal generator.
When he energized the freq. generator, it beamed through the saltwater, apparently agitating the molecules of hydrogen/oxygen. He then lit the top of the test tube and poof...intense flame burned. Check out the video. I believe there have been several universities who repeated the experiments with greater control/success.

The worst part in our area is that they’re taking up good farmland...now lost forever. Natural gas....and we have plenty here in upstate is the smarter use of our assets.
The tricorder says he's dead, Jim.
After my dad died, a guy showed up and said mom needed a new chimney....$7000. My sister was ready to sign for her.
When I found out, I called the local utility company and they came out and said her chimney was just fine. Lotta scammers go after old people.
The salesman has your Dad's SS number, his signature, his home address, his phone number, and possibly other identifiers.
Start watching your Dad's credit report for new credit cards, loans, mortgage on the house, everything.
Well I actually lived in sub Saharan Africa for quite a while, in different countries, never saw anything even close to your contention.
Even in MO, I noticed winter solar output was very low. Same thing as getting vitamin D. In winter, you ain’t. We would get some charge between 10-2 at best in winter but it wasn’t near as strong as 10-2 from mid Spring to mid Fall. Of course Summer is the best since the days are longer. Then you could get a good charge from 9-3. Longer if you had panels that track with the sun. Overcast but not rain clouds in summer are better than sunny days in winter.
Sun angle matters and Minnesota is pretty far from the equator.
Then there’s wind. Maybe 10% of the planet is good for wind. There’s a Scottish guy who builds his own turbines and happens to live in a region of Scotland that has good wind. The Scoraig peninsula. He builds them himself because it’s the only way to get a decent ROI.
Water is the best. 24/7/365. Not ocean wave generators.
Good luck with your nomad retirement. I would love to, but the wife ain't havin' any.
I follow a number of RV channels, and there are a lot of ways to fill your full energy budget, though only a very, very few doing 100% with solar. Will Prowse's channel probably has the best reviews of solar equipment, though not so much RV based any more. "Blue van Dan" is doing a bus build. Lots of others....
The “green” virtue signaling has to stop. If Republicans ever regain control, they need to legislate the topic of green energy. States that mandate green electricity should be required to augment high demand needs with only green generated power. It’s ridiculous they can posture as green but in a pinch, consume as much extra fossil electricity as needed. To get a green certification for an EV, the home source of the power should be a hookup billed at green generation pricing. In the wild rechargers should also bill at green generation pricing.
You folks are missing something(again). Solar is sexy-get it? It’s clean like showering before sex. Suburban housewives. Don’t point out mathematical facts to them-they buy into global warming. These soccer moms are led to believe the democrats care more about their kids than the louse they married-enough to take their pants off in front of the Bill Clintons out there. We start out from behind on this one.
The best we can do is advocate ‘all of the above’ while pointing out the truth about solar using whatever cliches these soccer moms can swallow. There are enough ‘simplified facts’ in our favor. Use them.
As a well-educated person, AND a HAPPY user of residential solar power, with REALISTIC, fact-based expectations in place PRIOR to writing the check ...
I can tell you residential solar power with a battery does exactly what I want it to do:
1. Flat-lines roughly 75% of our electricity costs.
2. Operates as a silent backup generator in the event of a grid failure
3. Runs my 110V circuits every night using no power from the grid. (Battery discharges about 20% at night to run these circuits)
4. Reduces SLIGHTLY the cost of electricity we *do* buy from our EMC.
The solar power hype IS out of control from many sides. I get that. But to dismiss it out of hand is a fool’s errand.
PS, we live in GA and snow cover is not an issue.
There are elderly abuse laws in every State. Call Adult Protection in your county and start there.
Solar electricity sucks as a means of efficient energy production, there is nothing efficient about it. HOWEVER; I installed 12kw of solar on my roof with battery backup. I knew it would not be efficient with close to 10 years of payback time involved. In the fall and spring I produce more electricity than I use and in the summer where we have more hours of sunlight there is a pretty substantial portion of my electricity bill taken care of by my solar cells but I would hate to have to depend on it for all my needs. Some people do but it is a balancing act.
As kind of a prepper I like knowing that my freezers will keep humming no matter what but there is a cost to that security. As far as utilities using money they could be spending on reliable production for solar I think they should not. Solar is neither reliable or efficient.

Another satisfied customer. So why doesn’t every roof have them? Would a $trillion investment have been better than invading Iraq? Could be but the money’s gone.
