Beware the knock-off solar equipment and fly-by-night installers – due diligence is critical on your solar journey
The solar energy boom has given rise to a proliferation of fly-by-night contractors that have suddenly sprung up trying to cash in. Not a day goes by that we don’t hear of an unsuspecting consumer getting taken for a ride and ripped off with either a bad deal, lousy outdated technology, wholly unqualified installers and non-compliant installations, and even being sold counterfeit and stolen goods. In some of the worst cases, these fly-by-nights have disappeared with large deposits.
