Hamza R is a licensed electrician with 12+ years of hands-on electrical and residential solar experience based in Phoenix, Arizona. He installed his own 9.6 kW solar system in 2019 and has since guided over a dozen homeowners through solar decisions.
A fixture filing is not a mortgage and it is not nothing. What is being claimed, why it surfaces at closing rather than at signing, and who to ask before you sign.
Cancellation rights are real, time-limited and set at federal and state level. What to do in the next hour, why the method matters, and who to call for the deadline.
The real division is not size. It is whether the company selling to you is the company installing, and many national brands are dealer networks that subcontract.
A guarantee is only as good as its baseline, its measurement, its exclusions and its remedy. The six clauses that turn one into protection or into wording.
Twenty-four questions, grouped by who can answer them, and the four that must be answered in writing. Most solar regret comes from three of them.
A workmanship warranty is only worth the company behind it. Which parts of your system survive a bankruptcy, which do not, and the checks you can run before signing.
The doorstep is a decision environment somebody else designed. What to say, what to write down, and how to check anything they told you afterward.
Every one of these is about the process rather than the product, which is why you can spot them without knowing anything about solar. What each one is hiding.
A solar interconnection fee is rarely one fee. The five charges, where each one is published, and why your state and your utility set the answer.
One email a week with new guides, tips, and solar news. Zero fluff, no sales pitch.
