I live in the Stolen State, where just about everything — especially government-run or regulated enterprises — is a scam. I found this to be a painful truth when I chose to install solar panels on my roof.
I chose to go solar after fires 50 miles from my home caused Southern California Edison (SCE) — a real scam artist company — to shut off my power twice for about four days at a time. They did this because, I believe, I live in Reagan Country, where people fly flags for Trump. The shutoff had nothing to do with the fires since they didn’t even shut down power 10 miles from the coastal blaze.
We hear President Trump repeatedly refer to the “Green New Scam” when it comes to solar and wind energy. Even agreeing with this, I still found the sales pitch from Sunrun, a home solar company, so strong that I bought into an installation. What a mistake.
I just got a monthly bill from SCE for $197, more than I paid before going solar. Of course, SCE just got a 13.5 percent increase in rates from the state, but winter bills in the past were about $125 — before solar. Now, on top of this, Sunrun is charging me about $175 a month for a 35-year lease on my panels, and that rate goes up automatically 3.5 percent a year. Such a deal, huh?
Anyway, I checked into my solar output to see why SCE is charging me so much when, according to Sunrun, I should be selling power back to them. Lo and behold, yesterday my solar panels were producing 0.5kw of power while my house (in the daytime) was using 11.5kw.
I’ve reached out to some attorneys to check my options, but none of them is going to do pro bono work fighting Governor Gruesome and his gang of ripoff artists. If any of you have Sunrun and would like to join me in initiating a class action lawsuit, please use my Conact Me form and let me know.
