Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
I was never told that I had to have the property inspected PRIOR to purchaseNo one surveyed the property in person, only via a satellite imageI offered to pay for the removal of trees so the system could work more efficiently And a day after the papers had to be signed Solar City then agreed to move them because I was purchasing the remainder of the leaseWhich I was forced to do or I would have been in breach of contract for the sale of the homeNow I am out almost $***, have NO solar panels, AND the new owners get FREE solar energySolarCity is now blaming the buyers for this because they would not sign a release allowing them to access the roof after settlementWhy would they do that when they can have free energy? They also claim that the state has to issue a permit to remove the panels and it would not be able to be secured before ***I had started this process with SolarCity in *** and they know from day one the panels needed to be removed by *** I want my $*** returned.Sincerely,*** ***

Solar City has misrepresented, deceived and otherwise been unscrupulous to our local community churchThey promised an electric savings to the church assembly and it never deliveredThey even had a ribbon cutting with the *** and Supervisor *** with their Representative stating on record that this milestone event would not only save energy but the church 50% on our electric billBut this never happenedAfter seeking help and explanation with the huge discrepancy from the management all the way up to their head analyst department they basically said "too bad" and within the next years we should see some savingsThey broke their word and contract we would never recommend them
Truth ***

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/07/25) */
We apologize for the frustrating circumstances regarding this customer's experienceAs the customer noted in the original complaint, the incentive is offered after a successful site survey, meaning the house has been approved for solar
installationAs this customer's home was not deemed viable for solar at this time, it rendered the site survey unsuccessful, thus nullifying the incentiveMore information can be found at the following web address, including the following disclaimer: "*SPECIAL LIMITED TIME OFFER: $gift card rebate valid for qualifying customers who sign a solar contract with SolarCity between May 22, and May 31, and have a successful site survey completed on or before July 31, that qualifies their home for installationThis offer is limited to those who own their home and credit qualifyThis offer may not be combined with other promotional offersFor more information please see our Rebate Terms and Conditions at www.homedepotsolarcity.com." Please call XXX-XXX-XXXX with any questions
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/07/27) */
The company's response to this is incorrectI have their approval notice that they sent to me
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/07/29) */
As we are not installing on this customer's home due to structural concerns, the site survey did not deem the structure installable and thus renders the site survey unsuccessful for solar installationAs such, the offered incentive does not apply to this circumstancePlease call XXX-XXX-XXXX with any further questions
Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 13, 2015/07/31) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
There site survey clearly approves my house for their installation of solar panelsAlso, I clearly qualified for their incentive and fully earned the that their sales person told me that I would getI have forwarded the site survey approval to the Revdex.com which shows that my house passed *** survey
