If you’re a homeowner and live in Oklahoma, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve been door knocked by an out-of-state solar door knocker. At Solar Power of Oklahoma, we choose to be ethical and serve our local communities, which means not bugging our neighbors at dinner time.
A common scam to watch out for right now is having a special “buy-back program” or being “partnered with the utility company.” Neither of these claims is true and out-of-state door-knocking companies are notorious for locking people into overpriced contracts. We’ve been featured in the news multiple times this year helping homeowners get out of these types of contracts.
Want to learn how to speak to one of these companies if they show up unannounced at your door? Here are our 3 Tips On How to Deal with Out-of-State Solar Door Knockers.
Tip 1: Checking Out Claims
You might meet salespeople from other states who say they’ve got special deals with your utility company and a new thing called net metering for solar energy. But let’s dig deeper – net metering isn’t new; it’s been around for a while. More importantly, it’s not about their connections; it’s about the solar rules set by your local utility that matter for your home’s solar possibilities.
Tip 2: Friendly Conversations
When you talk to these solar folks, being polite goes a long way. Keep in mind they’re not from around here, so being nice is important. Remember, you can be friendly while sticking to what you want.
Tip 3: Exploring the Details
Solar lingo might seem confusing, but don’t let it scare you. When they talk numbers, just make sure those numbers make sense. Also, take a good look at the equipment they’re suggesting for your roof. A little secret: Do some research on the company itself. Do their customers like them? How long have they been around? Trustworthy companies are the ones you want to deal with, and that will be clear if you check their reviews online. Feel free to read one of our 100+ Google Reviews online.
