Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

I used to sell Solar panels. It's 97% a scam. You can go wake up and knock a door and make $10k in a day. The end product for most folks is basically the homeowner signing a 25 year contract that replaces their current bill. So for example: Current electric bill: $100 Solar bill : $80 So they save "$20" a month and sign a financed system over 25 years that includes interest and something called a "dealer fee" which is 20% - 30% of the total financed amount. Let's say they do save $20 a month.. #1. Most of these systems don't last after 10+ years due to manufacturer defects on the inverters. #2. Panels deteriorate in terms of production after every single year. #3. Most of the companies go bankrupt after a few years and don't service the panels leading the homeowners astray #4. If a roof needs to be replaced it will cost $10,000's + of dollars to take the panels off and to put it back on. #5. It adds little to no value to the home and causes so many issues in terms of selling the home.. #6.... Shall I go on?
