It seems like a simple and reliable product, but I know so many people who are put off of residential solar because so many of the contractors are sketchy. What is it about the industry that attracts so many of those folks?

    1. It’s a new market. Well… new enough to not be well understood by the general public, or by the contractors getting into it.
    2. It’s techy. That that attracts a certain…entrepreneurial personality.
    3. The prospective customers are people who can already afford a home.
    4. it can be pitched as “it’ll pay for itself”
