The oil lobby has been actively encouraging this for decades. Automakers are lock step with the oil lobby. This is so people have to stay reliant on petrol.
There’s no EV infrastructure here where I live. The amount of scam solar is like 10:1 here as well.
Once or twice a month we get people crawling the neighborhood, 5 or 6 of them just walking down the road, no credentials and they wanna get me free state funded solar and all the need is a picture of my electric bill to prove I’m not already receiving the payment blah blah blah. Eventually a cop comes by a day later and asks about it because one of the old people got scammed.
Idk. We put in solar 3+ years ago…
We’re at roughly 1/3 paid off now. A pay an electric bill 2-4 months of the year. One or two low ($5-80), and one full ($300+), another somewhere in-between ($130-180).
Pretty straight forward, put them on as many rooftops as you can regardless of suitability or quality components. Collect government rebate +/- co contribution.

What is scam solar?
Once or twice a month we get people crawling the neighborhood, 5 or 6 of them just walking down the road, no credentials and they wanna get me free state funded solar and all the need is a picture of my electric bill to prove I’m not already receiving the payment blah blah blah.

So how does the actual scam work?
With the information on the bill they can actually sign you up for a different delivery provider or add stuff to your plan.
Some of them will install panels and you won’t see money for years if ever without litigation.

Sometimes it’s that picture of the bill; they use it it switch you to a more expensive energy provider.
