Divorcing the Electric Company

Smart Solar for Homeowners, 2nd Edition

De: Scott J. Gordon

Narrado por: Barry Shannon

This second audio edition of Divorcing the Electric Company has evolved substantially since I recorded the first edition, yet only a few short years have passed!

Home solar panel systems have come a long way technologically in the last few years but so have the clever financing schemes and fly-by-night contractors. There exists an onslaught of solar advertisers, door knockers, and telemarketers. Should you buy or lease? How do you pick the right contractor and the best equipment? In a world of fast-talking solar salesmen peddling expensive solar financing and deals, how can you avoid common scams and rip-offs? Who can you trust?

The second edition of Divorcing the Electric Company is updated and expanded, and references real solar leases and contracts. Knowing these tricks of the trade could save you tens of thousands of dollars and help you to avoid a tragically doomed second marriage. No sense in divorcing the electric company just to remarry its ugly step-cousin!

Go solar the right way. Listen to this audiobook!

Lots of Info, but a bit repetitive

I feel like this book made me a more informed shopper, but it could have been 1/3 as long as it is.
Mr Gordon lays out the pitfalls and pluses of solar, then reiterates most of them, then reframes the arguments and goes over them again.
I get it. Don’t lease. How many times do you need to restate that?
I’m not dismissing the book overall. I’ve taken notes and researched new ideas that the author presented. I found it helpful and informative.
