Rescuing Orphaned Systems with Thomas Stubblefield

from Sean White‘s Solar and Energy Storage Podcast · host whitehousesolar

Thomas Stubblefield, a NABCEP-certified solar installer who travels across multiple states (Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Illinois) to rescue and repair failing solar systems. Thomas explained that he has handled over 300 service calls in the past year, with 100% resolution rate, helping homeowners whose systems were installed by now-bankrupt companies like Power Home Solar and Pink Energy. He described finding numerous installation issues including improper wiring, squirrel damage covered with electrical tape, and dangerous electrical conditions, with some systems sitting incomplete for up to five years. Thomas emphasized that homeowners should never sign job completion forms until systems are fully operational and producing power, and recommended checking NABCEP certification and local contractor licensing boards when selecting solar installers.   Topics Covered Orphan solar systems Company bankruptcies Job completion form scam Dangerous wiring hazards Homeowner financial ruin Contractor license verification Solar system rescues Yelp review trust Third-party ownership (TPO) Multi-state service coverage Roof damage issues Stolen SolarEdge home runs Unlicensed electrician errors Solar panel shading Design tools (Aurora/PVWatts) Koala Solar Pros branding   Reach out to Thomas Stubblefield here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/koalallc/ Website: www.koalasolarpros.com/ Email: [email protected] Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean’s classes at www.heatspring.com/sean www.solarsean.com/pva
