He is right in some points. Electric companies install solar panel at your home and keep for them most of the energy the solar panels you rent, produce, offering to you a discount. People think they are making a big deal, but guess what, you aren’t.

Let me tell you how you make a big deal and run away from this type of companies:

First step: Learn everything you need to know about electricity, solar panels and what you need to be a off grid type of person;

Second step: Find a company who are selling solar panels, batteries, inverters, cables, etc etc;

Third step: Buy it and build it!

I’m not gonna lie to you, it isn’t cheap, but I can tell you one thing, worth the money!
