At bidmysolar™, we believe solar should deliver real savings and and those savings should be based on correctly calculated parameters and not exaggerated estimates of what your electricity bill will be after you install solar. Beware of false promises! If anyone in the solar space is suggesting you will obtain zero-dollar bills or significant credits, then have them explain how they arrived at the savings forecast.

Ensure that everything is committed to in writing and the numbers quoted (savings) are reflected in the sales agreement. Remember this proverb – forewarned is forearmed!

It is too easy to be caught up in the sales hype, so always take the conservative view and this way you will always be happy with your solar investment.
