Going Solar Without Getting Burned

Thinking about going solar? Before you let anyone put panels on your roof, you need to know what you’re getting into. Solar is a major financial investment, and falling for a high-pressure, door-to-door sales pitch is the fastest way to make an expensive mistake.

On this week’s episode of Joe Knows Better, hosts Joe Ducey and Michelle Marin sit down with Adrian Keller, Program Director at Solar United Neighbors, to break down everything consumers must know before making a commitment. Together, they walk through how to spot reputable local installers, recognize common red flags, and navigate fine print, warranties, and consumer protections. You'll learn why Adrian recommends the "3-bid rule"—sleeping on a sales pitch, gathering multiple written quotes, and weighing the pros and cons of owning versus leasing your panels before signing anything.

Don't sign at the door—do your homework first. Tune in to learn how to ask the right questions, compare your options, and harness the sun with confidence.
