Recently, several articles in the news have placed residential solar in a negative light, citing issues such as overpromising savings, poor-quality installations, and misleading sales tactics. These stories can create hesitation for homeowners and businesses considering solar energy, underscoring the importance of building trust within the industry.
In the rapidly evolving solar industry, trust is more than a virtue—it’s a necessity. Manufacturers, distributors, and installers depend on one another to deliver reliable, high-quality solar solutions to end customers.
