The whole point of solar energy is to create clean energy in a cost-effective manner. Apparently, that is still not the case.
One Frederickton, Missouri resident was not happy after a solar energy firm misled him with empty promises.
“‘Own your own power,’ that’s what they said. I own very little power,” Curtis Jarvis told News 4.
Jarvis said that solar company Pink Energy, formally known as PowerHome Solar, assured him that their panels would provide more electricity than his house would ever need, but it was all a lie.
“The biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent in my entire life,” Jarvis said.
According to News 4, Jarvis agreed to pay more than $46,000 in monthly installments over the course of 25 years. According to the terms of his agreement with Pink Energy, he should expect a 61% decrease in his energy consumption. But in reality, it was only about 10%.
