Its not hard and if you do it yourself youll have 2-3 times the system any installer will sell you with better parts and youll know how to maintain it.

There are contracts between the lenders and the homeowners. They pay until the system finance or lease is over with. (Cash deals are very rare, if they own their system then by all means do it.)\n\nContractually speaking this practice will tank a lot of homeowners credits and a lot of lawsuits will follow through. Solar is already a bad thought in a lot of peoples minds, why make it worse than it already is?\n\n__________________________________________________\n\nI’m a whistleblower. I've been in this industry for almost 10 years now. This is the worst I've seen by a company that claims they're the best. I’m putting this out so homeowners hear it before they sign, not after they’re already on the hook. Sadly many homeowners have already fell for this, maybe not just by Windmar. I have documentation of this transpiring with many homeowners with this solar company.\n\nWindmar Solar is a solar/roofing company based out of Central Florida. They have been in the Florida solar market since 2018. Currently they're targeting homeowners whose original solar company is bankrupt/closed. Titan, SunPower, Lumio, Freedom Forever, Solar Direct. They're looking for homeowners who are having difficulties...",
