    How are American residential solar companies fucking up solar installation so badly? Sunpower just went bankrupt. Tesla charges a fortune and then puts you on a mile long waiting list. Now this bs with Vision solar.

      That’s easy - it’s because these companies have no interest in delivering anything of value - they’re solely concerned with shareholder returns. The subsidies they’re able to collect along the way don’t tend to help things because of the way they’re structured, and a lack of consumer protections mean these companies can act with impunity.
