I had the local solar reseller estimate for installing on my flat roof house. I would like to think I am keen on going green, but after three visits, some hard sell and spreadsheets showing when and how I would break even, i really felt like I was just engaging in a long-term finance deal. I would pay the same as I currently do, but to the solar finance lender, not to my local electricity company. And some of the cost benefit was speculated based on my local electricity company buying from me. I also had concerns about roof maintenance when it was inaccessible due to the panels. I also worried that to sell my house I would have to find a buyer willing to take-on the debt, the reseller unrealistically insisted the opposite, that this would add value. I didn't sign up, having seen companies fold, be acquired, change terms and conditions and essentially screw consumers, it just wasn't appealing.
