Hey Everyone! Important News! I changed the name from "Energy Savvy Society" to "Energy Independence Academy" because, while complete energy awareness, process, and implementation are important, many people start their energy savings journey by being BOMBARDED with solar ads, many of which are full of lies! IM TIRED OF IT. The solar industry can improve and its partly the homeowners responsibility to be educated. So I augmented this community to act as a protection mechanism for homeowners across the country. This is a space for prospective solar buyers to come and determine whether its right for them, without any pressure from salespeople. Yes, many of us have knowledge of energy upgrades and systems outside of solar, but there are foundational pieces for new solar prospects to understand, such as: - Net metering policy in their area - Odd Utility rate structures like deregulated markets, Time of Use, etc and how that affects them - Whether they need battery backup - Roof Age/Condition - Best Financing Options and Terms - Equipment - Bill Offset And more.... As a bonus, I will personally be screen recording and reviewing BS solar ads and dissecting them! For members that would like to take their knowledge to the next level after they build a solid foundation around solar, I will be offering much more in depth courses in another community. Happy Learning!

@Will Geist Asked whats a real life scenario of solar math not working out? There are many scenarios that can potentially lead to solar math not working out. - Shading not accounted for - The utility changing their net metering policy - The sales rep was dishonest/the design wasnt accurate - consumption not being accurate during system design without 12-months of usage Theres a few. Let me know what other questions there are!
