The self-proclaimed billion-dollar CEO said he's not the villain in the story but he may think Rob Wolchek is. But ever since the company was exposed when people started calling Wolcheck to complain, Waller says his company's outlook is dark, to say the least.

I ran the crew that installed the solar panels on the so called "Ford field" in actuality it was on one of the parking structures and it really offsetting nothing to mention publicly. It was all a publicity stunt, I was told not to disclose the KW or size of the solar system. But in reality, the Ford field would be an engineering nightmare to have it run on all solar. So we did the next best thing claimed that Ford field has gone solar!!!in little print but it will not be offsetting anything energywise that would be worth mentioning. I knew this was coming down the line the sales people are sleaz bags. Promise the world to sign on dotted line. I'll get off my soap box now...

As a person who has worked at multiple solar companies: 1: It makes me mad that companies like this ruin the reputation solar has, which already isn't great. 2: There are definitely other companies out there like PinkEnergy that screw over customers daily and for extreme amounts of money 3. There is also a lag when it comes to the solar technology. A good system that works properly is great, however there are a lot of systems, brands, and parts (such as the snap RS) which can be prone to failure, just another reason why solar has a bad name

Don’t lease at exorbitant prices. If you can’t afford a 70K pickup why would you get a 6 year loan. If you can’t afford a modest solar array for 20 to 30 K cash then don’t lease it. Michigan isn’t the best place in the world for solar, it will take at least ten years to pay for itself. So if you are pre paying for electricity thru solar then you are not saving much, just paying for your juice up front. Do the math, the thing in school you always asked why you had to learn.

You will rent your power from the utility company for the rest of your life. Not to mention, the average utility rates increase at 7-9% every year. Some areas of the country, especially the north, are much higher. With Solar, you own your power and there is an end date on the payment. It's fixed and never increases as the utility does. So many other benefits to Solar (clean energy, good for the environment, renewable, minimizes stress on the power grid).

As someone who worked for that company at one point - even if they werent doing the lie, cheat, and steal scheme, its still gross negligence. As an installer id call multiple people from management on days in the middle of summer with no clouds in the sky to let them know the system was producing a third of what it should be. The response was always to "shut up and finish my job. " that's completely ignoring the predatory sales tactics they used. My guess is that the main reason this is coming crashing down is interest rates rising. They cant find as many suckers anymore to sell on the cheap monthly payment the way car dealers do. If anyone ever talks to people who wprked there, this dipshit ceo would probably have a hard time lying his way out and pretending this was anyone else's fault. And now that ive finished watching this video - the generac system would tell you if any of those parts had failed. Which was why i was calling and asking in the first place. How is everything fine but production numbers are so far off the mark? Managements response waa stop asking about it, if its all fine then wrap it up and get out of there.

Hahahaha nah fuck Powerhome/Pink Energy. I've been calling them out on their systems for YEARS now. I'm a solar installer full time and some of the shit I've seen them do is embarrassing for the industry. Even their damn KZbin ads would show panels on the north sides of roofs, clamped wrong on the rails, don't work, and charged the customer 85k for a 25k system. I also install plenty of Generac and Solaredge systems and it's usually never the inverters that are bad, but the electricians. Granted, I know that rapid shutdown shit and arc fault detection is finicky, but any installer know that's the equivalent of a compactor going out on an AC unit, or a solenoid on a starter. It's not hard at all to fix. So upper management just sold a bunch of high priced systems, contracted the cheapest residential sparkies to do it ( which my previous work experience was an industrial service electrician, so I know my shit and let me tell you anyone can learn to do residential electrical work. Shits easy) who don't even know what hemisphere they're in, and made a lot of money. Now, they are shifting the blame and trying to duck out scot free. Sucks to be one of the homeowners that fell for their bullshit. Anyone reading this, if you are interested in basically any home improvements, call your county inspector for suggestions and references. They see everyone's work.

Half of mine were installed with the good ones and the others were installed with the bad ones. That way I got SOME use and SOME solar relief, but he absolutely knew. He kept installing with them well after he found out. Also, he thought the new snaps would be out quicker, so his plan was to install then go back and fix under manufacturers warranty. He was signing contracts the DAY he shut down the business. As long as they put the panels on, they got paid by the lenders. And you better believe the lenders are also responsible for this. Trust me. I'm going to have to sue generac too. But I managed to make Jayson Waller pay off my 90k solar loan because HE was so fraudulent.

The snaprs device is a fuse that is connected to each solar panel. If a solar panel goes bad it immediately sends a surge of electricity through the line. If there is no fuse it can start a fire or destroy the solar system with the surge. Its why thermal cameras are used in solar panel inspections. A panel that is about to go bad will get hotter than the rest. To prevent this failure cascade a fuse like the snaprs is installed to prevent a complete failure/destruction of all of the equipment. If a fuse blows its actually a success of the device because it protected everythibg else. Its why we have circuit breakers in our home. Yes, if a fuse blows it takes out that group of panels. Its supposed to do that.

Because of snake oil salesmen like this is the reason I studied, and asked questions of people who had solar. I went with Tesla, and paid cash. The 26% is correct, but only if your tax bill is greater than the credit. No commissioned sales person came to my door. I purchased online. Tesla helped with HOA approval and with utility approval and scheduling. It’s a long process, but worth it. My electric bill has been no more than $25 a month since install, as that is the minimum service charge Florida Power and light charges.

@Jason Fitch let’s debunk a few things. I am retired, (at 55). I didn’t pay $60k, it paid $26k. In order to have 8 times the money in 20 years, you would need to average 14.4% growth. Uncle Joe is making that pretty hard. Currently I am generating about $1800 year in energy, but using under $1000. That $800 comes back to me to invest every year. That gives me an ROI of less than 14 years. Since I plan on living in this house that long, and I am young and healthy, I think that is a good long term buy. The availability of havIng AC, refrigeration, and cell phone chargers available for all my neighbors during one of the worst hurricanes to hit the US was all bonus. Since I don’t borrow money, I have no payments either. Maybe us “boomers” aren’t so dumb after all.

Many of my neighbors sustained roof damage, mine had zero. While Katrina cause the most damage, according to the National Hurricane center, it was only a category 3 when it hit landfall. Ian so far has been categorized as a cat 4 with 150 mph winds at landfall, tied for 5th place among storms. I am sorry you are having an angry day, and don’t like it when people challenge you. Or maybe you just like to argue when you have no facts. Either way, have a great day. I will continue to enjoy the sunshine, not only for great days at the beach, but for the energy it provides for my home.

He is 100% full of B.S. I worked for Generac and they have the best quality control I have seen. Every line and division has their own QA personnel their engine line has 2 QA's. They pull random products right from the line and test it. This guy is a scam artist. Ive listened to one of his salesman in Kentucky while fixing someones home and cut the guy off and told my elderly client everything he told them was a lie. They took my advice and didn't sign

This is really sad. This guy gave a really good industry a black eye. As someone in the solar industry I'm glad to see Pink Energy and Power Home Solar gone. I do wish the news outlet would have aired some evidence. "My power bill is the same as before they turned the system on" would have made more of an impact if they said "Here, look at these bills." I'm left wondering. Did they fail to install something? Did they never get Permission to Operate from the power company? Did they just exaggerate how much power would be produced? I feel like there's a lot of questions left unanswered. I hope consumers learn to ask lots of questions but don't completely write off solar.

He never cheated anyone he said, I was sold a system under power home solar and they used solar edge equipment, now why did he change to generac equipment . Now my solar edge inverter failed and so much for the 25 year warranty, I feel cheated because he left me hanging with a system that doesn't work

The math for the guy right in the spot showing him how it was not economical. The guy left. And criticized my car on his way out. He was lucky I didn’t stuff him under my car.

I do taxes for a friend who went solar in the PNW. He couldn't take the whole 26% in the year of purchase so we are carrying the credit forward. He took another bite last year. I think it carries for 5 years. He MIGHT be able to take it all by then. He paid out of pocket around 50k, so no carrying costs (loan interest) and his power bill is much lower. Our local utility allows him to 'bank' his generation for power in the winter, resets once a year. It worked for him but may not for many more.
