There is no deception, nor false claims being made.

It's just a dumb move to pay someone to do what you can (and most have)...already been doing themselves.
It sounds "iffy" to me. When someone offers you a service you don't need and wants you to pay them for it, that is a scam to me.

When in doubt call Crimes Against Seniors and ask them.

Here is an "opinion" piece on this but it is BY a Solar Energy company so I don't know if it is trustworthy.


Should I Buy Power From Arcadia Power? - Florida Solar Design Group

Unless and until solar energy gets to be less costly than the energy we now have in place I will be skeptical. Global warming IS happening but we, ONE small section of the Earth in the U.S., cannot reverse it all by ourselves and getting everyone on this planet to do something altruistic seems like an exercise in futility. Maybe someday when people are dying in huge groups from the heat............
