Solar Customers Beware Of Misleading Advertising
The Australian government does give significant incentives to promote solar growth. However, these are supposed to be phased out by 2030.
Hence each year they decrease a little bit till they become zero in 2030.
This is a government policy and no company can control that. Hence you should not trust anyone who implies that they can give you last year’s benefits this year.
In fact, it is better to be suspicious of someone making misleading advertising claims.
Solar customers must be cautious of Misleading advertising that guarantees unrealistic savings or “complimentary” solar systems.
Numerous offers conceal long-term agreements, additional charges, or increasing payment conditions.
Customers are advised to thoroughly examine the fine print and confirm all assertions made by vendors.
Unfortunately, some solar companies take disadvantage of this situation to confuse and overpromise the customers.
Additionally, it is crucial to confirm whether the anticipated savings are grounded in realistic energy consumption and local sunlight conditions. Verifying company credentials, licenses, and customer feedback can assist in identifying reliable providers.
They use terms like ‘rewind’ or ‘rollback’ to create a false impression that the customer is going to somehow qualify for last year’s government incentives this year. This is not true.
Solar installation is a complex process involving some long term investments.
It involves customization, knowing about the incentives offered by the Australian government and a warranty on the service.
Consumers should remain vigilant against aggressive sales tactics or time-sensitive offers intended to hasten decision-making. Comprehending warranties, maintenance obligations, and financing conditions is vital before entering into any agreement.
What you need is a trustworthy and honest solar installation company that guides you through this.
In every business, there are some honest to goodness, trustworthy companies.
But unfortunately, there are some not so honest people who would take disadvantage of customers with their flashy, misleading advertising claims.
We strongly advise solar customers to find out what is included, and what is NOT included in any solar offer.
For example,
a company may give you a quote that does not include roof edge protection, which is mandatory now.
They will quote for panels, inverters and their installation and later charge you separately for the edge protection.
We have already warned customers about companies that offer ‘conditional warranties’, wherein the customer needs to pay some money for certain inspections every year otherwise the warranty lapses.
Making the customer think that they will somehow get last year’s government incentives is another such trap that you should not fall into.
In short, customers beware of exaggerated claims.
Solar customers must exercise caution regarding Misleading advertising by thoroughly assessing the claims made by solar companies prior to making a decision. Numerous advertisements tout “free solar,” unrealistically low bills, or guaranteed savings; however, these promotions frequently entail hidden stipulations such as lengthy contracts, elevated interest rates, or increasing payments. Customers are advised to scrutinize the fine print, request written estimates, and compare several quotes from reputable installers.
Read the fine print, ask questions, and work with an honest company that gives you all the information upfront.
By conducting thorough research and posing clear inquiries, solar customers can safeguard themselves against misleading advertising and make well-informed, confident decisions.
