A house with Halloween decorations features a solar system provided through the EnerWealth residential solar lease.

It was a crisp evening in late October when you heard it— your doorbell.

But it couldn’t be trick-or-treaters, Halloween was still a night away. You carefully peer through the crack in your blinds hoping to glimpse a pack of little monsters, princesses, and superheroes asking for candy. But what you see is far worse, far scarier.

“Have you considered switching to solar?”

You didn’t invite them. You didn’t summon them. And yet— they’re here.

Door-to-door solar sales have long been a contentious and highly critiqued business practice. Homeowners have attested to solar salespersons knocking on their doors only to use fear and intimidation to convince them to go solar. Pitches such as “I can only offer this deal today” or “act now” are unfortunately common practice, and are only made worse when paired with claims that deposits are needed immediately to “lock in your rate”.

Others have frequently noted that politeness and patience only goes so far. Some door knockers have been accused of refusing to take no for an answer, despite initially stating they were only there to educate and speak briefly.

Overwhelmingly, these solar door knockers are not employed by local solar installers and developers dedicated to expanding and offering clean energy in their communities, but instead are from large national companies that routinely survey new parts of the country for leads.

Choosing to work with a local solar company offers many benefits:

Better Knowledge of Local Regulations
Local companies are deeply familiar with municipal codes, permitting processes, and utility policies.
Community Investment
Local companies live and work alongside their customers. Supporting a local business helps boost your local economy and creates jobs in your area.
Ongoing Relationship
Many local companies are more committed to long-term relationships and their reputation within the community, as both a service provider and community pillar.

EnerWealth Solutions promises to never come to your home unannounced, pressure you into making an immediate decision, or use misleading information to close a deal. Instead we assure to always offer thoughtful advice, clear solutions, and helpful guidance tailored to your needs. We believe in earning your trust through honesty, transparency, and respect.

So this Halloween, beware the knock that comes after dark, and if it is one of the “solar bros”, close your blinds and talk to your local solar experts instead. Learn more about how to protect yourself from predatory practices and solar scams.
Happy Halloween! 🎃
