Unlike wind and hydro, which require dealing with governments and experts, solar can be sold to anyone with enough money to buy it.

This means that there are a ton of scumbags looking to profit off of those who do not know any better by spreading misinformation and, well, any other tactic they can think of to enrich themselves further.

    You say that it’s “full of” and that there’s “a ton of”. Are you saying that this problem is more than other industries? If it were about as average as other industries then it’s not that huge, just a normal amount of exploitative people.

        Ok, those are two other options for energy, but I said other industries. Every single product available to consumers has this problem. It’s not specific to solar energy.
