    A lot of those door-to-door guys are indeed scams. Or if not outright scams, just incompetent.

    It’s hard to find good installers that aren’t completely booked for a year or more.

    Depending on your needs and skill level, a decent-sized solar setup isn’t hard to DIY. You don’t necessarily need to start with a huge system, you can set up a smaller system to run an AC system or some load like that. Then if you want scale up as you learn more.

    Also, solar doesn’t have to be photovoltaic, solar thermal is great for hot water.
