My mother is a retired lady on a fixed income. For her every penny counts, she was introduced to solar city by a family member the idea was great at first. She signed a 20 year contract, after installing the panels she had many issues with the meter at first then with orange and Rockland her power company regarding the meter.
She changed her panel and got a new meter and started generating energy from her new panels .....all sounds good so far. Since May 2015 till present day she's stuck with 2 bills every month, one from solar and one from orange and Rockland.....no credit been issued to her from Solar City nor Orange and Rockland when she has been calling Solar City almost weekly she never got a straight answer or help, all they say is our panels installed correctly and we are getting reading of you solar production. Call you utility company they say. Poor soul stuck in the middle with two bills a month. Finally when she got frustrated she asked them to remove the panels and they replied sorry you signed a contract. That was their answer. I think she will be taking this is legally.
Finally my advice to you if you considering using Solar City, find a different company because once you sign a contract with them your are trapped ZERO costumer service all they care about is SCAMMING the next victim. STAY AWAY FROM "SOLAR CITY" read more
