The problem I have is with Green Solar Technologies. When I was first contacted I thought this was a great Idea. Salesperson sends me a bunch of videos and I view them all and I'm excited. Same panels that are on the White House, run over them with a truck, kid doing XGame stunts on them with a bike ! Totally awesome presentations and I'm like WOW! Greatest thing since popcorn & peanut butter! These things are going to be great in my front yard. Sales guy turns me over to a project manager. He's got a project engineer for me. So-and-so got a secretary and so on, one guys talking financing and I tell him listen, I'm on disability dude. I don't have much money to throw around. He says piece a cake man. You start making juice YOU WON'T HAVE AN ELECTRIC BILL. Says he got me a great rate for the first year and a half & my payments are to be $86 & change. Turned out that was the first lie. Turned out to be $101 and when I called them on it I was told they had to do that to get me the better rate. Then the installer comes by measuring this and doing that with GPS. He's looking at my wiring that has to be brought up to code, A LOT OF STUFF ! (Installer by the way was awesome! A one man construction crew, did the work of 5 men every day for 7 straight days! ALL ALONE!) but not yet. He's just surveying the situation. Then he leaves.     

Time goes by and after a while one of them calls me and says we can't put the panels in the front yard, city won't let us & I'm like, well that kills that I guess! All this running for nothing. Guy say no we'll put the array in the back yard. I'm like there are some massive trees in the back yard. They're showing on your engineer diagrams the satellite took! Remember! Oh it's OK, these panels are fantastic! It'll still be fine. Made it sound like these solar panels would run off of moon light. And you're telling me I won't have an electric bill, right!? Oh yea piece a cake! The emails are flying back & forth with schematics & contracts & signings and such.     One day a tractor-trailer backs down my street and has 2 pallets and a boat load of pipe to drop in my drive-way. Then a long wait. Problem with the installer being slammed with work. Before long I'm getting bills for $101 for a solar array that's boxed up in my driveway along with my electric bill so I'll have lights, AC, computer, stove, water heater, you know all that stuff we plug in for life's comforts. Installer finally shows up and goes to work. It's during the hurricane going up the east coast where he lives with his wife & kids. I said go home and take care of your family man! He says water prohibits him from going home! So I can't go home. Anyhow, he gets done and goes home. Job looks like a million, with one small exception, waiting on Duke to hook more stuff up. Array works fine but I'm not generating anything for the grid.    

It's through this time that I become acquainted with a lady named ???? at Duke Energy. There's a special number for solar customers to call for anything to do with solar power. When getting started, there's a list of things that must be done in order and inspected upon each completion. ???? was always the lady to talk to in this process to let you know where you stood in each process and inspection. While on the phone one day we're conversing and waiting on her computer to bring up a page and I just pop off facetiously with I sure love ya'll but I'll sure be glad when I won't have an electric bill. She says honey I'm sorry but all these solar people are lying to you all. You will always have an electric bill. I'm like are you serious. If I generate more than I use(which hasn't happened yet) my bill will be $11.13 +7% tax (currently). I began generating electricity December 12, 2016 and have not yet generated enough to cover my monthly usage. ???? does not answer the phone anymore. She has been moved to another department. They would not allow me to talk to her.     My electric bill due March 14, 2018 is $163.34 and I will be paying a $154.65 solar payment for the next ~20~ years. If I use the word rape that would pretty much cover the way I feel. $4250 would get 3 of the big popular trees down and out and help tremendously for more direct sun exposure but I would still like specific performance of no electric bill.
