Cory Vanderpool, licensed and certified solar veteranHosting Solar Straight Talk live. No agenda, just clear answers homeowners can count on.
“I think solar’s a scam, or it’s just not for me.”Fair place to start. We’ll walk through why, honestly, and you decide for yourself.
“I already have solar, and something’s wrong.”Know where to actually get it fixed, not just who to blame.
“I’m just curious whether it’s actually worth it.”Get the real answer, upside and catch, with nothing attached.

No sales pitch, whichever one of those brought you in. Just the straight answer, live, and then it’s your turn.

Wherever you are, there’s a session for you

Every session rotates through these four. Bring the question that fits where you are.

Thinking about solar

Before anyone knocks on your door.

  • Is it still worth it with no federal credit?
  • Buy, loan, lease or PPA
  • Do I need a battery?
  • Reading a quote line by line

I have solar

Getting what you paid for.

  • How your system actually works
  • Upkeep, cleaning and monitoring
  • What it’s really returning
  • How long the parts last

Something’s wrong

When nobody calls back.

  • My installer went out of business
  • My bill went up anyway
  • Production dropped
  • New roof, panels in the way

Buying or selling

So solar doesn’t sink the deal.

  • Taking over or buying out a lease
  • UCC filings and liens
  • What the system is worth
  • What the inspection should cover

Also covered: insulation, heating and cooling, EV charging, windows and the other Green Assets in your home.
