I had a sense that all this was going on even before I read Semuels' excellent article. We bought a solar installation from #Treeium, a highly rated, giant Southern California solar installer. We got an *incredibly* hard sell from them to get our solar "for free" - that is, through these financial arrangements - but I'd just sold a book and I had cash on hand and I was adamant that we were just going to pay upfront.
