Hi All. I just want to preface this by saying I'm definitely in favor of solar power in principle, but there are some reps who go a little beyond the pale with it. I was in Home Depot today looking for some AC coil cleaner, hoping to improve the cooling efficiency of unit. A young man asked if I was finding everything OK and if I needed any help. I told him I was fine, but he kept hanging around, and introduced himself. Then he put the bait & switch on me when I realized he was an in-store SolarCity rep. I should have told him to bug off, but I gave him my info for no other reason than to get him off my case. And he was walking in the product aisles, not sitting at a display table.
I know he's probably paid a commission on referrals, but I definitely feel like I was cornered and somewhat harassed. He said a rep would be calling me this next week to discuss solar for our home. I live in a row townhouse, and have to deal with an HOA. I know that's not an automatic disqualification, but I also explained to him that we may be selling our home soon, and I was reluctant to put a lot of money into it before we sell it. I do have his name, email and phone number. I am considering reporting him to Home Depot or Solar City. Have any of you had a similar experience, and did you report it?
