Only after doing that much research and more can you start talking to solar installers and have enough info to make sure you're not being scammed. I had a few try to pull the wool over my eyes and called them out on it. I eventually found a guy that was straight up with me and hired him.
thanks for the advice- it’s all new to me- but the way things are headed- higher electric prices once they get everyone over onto all electric everything- something is gonna have to change- the writing is on the wall
