Solar isn't perfect, and anyone who tells you it is should worry you. The real problems: storage is still the big one — the sun doesn't shine at night, and batteries are the most expensive, fastest-evolving part of any system. Incorrect disposal — panels ending up in landfills instead of recyclers. Trust — the industry has earned its reputation for shady sales tactics, hidden escalators, and companies that vanish. And transparency in offerings — most homeowners never learn what a fair price looks like.
Every one of these is solvable, and most are being solved right now. But you deserve to know they exist. Solar is not THE solution to our energy future — it's A solution, and a genuinely great one when done honestly.
