Solar Done Right
(Without the Industry BS)
I've spent nearly two decades in the solar and energy storage industry, training installers, explaining complex technology, and seeing firsthand what happens when equipment doesn't perform as promised.
Snarky Solar Guy is where I share what I've learned, challenge industry assumptions, and help people understand solar and battery technology without the marketing nonsense.
Whether you're an installer trying to make sense of the equipment or a homeowner considering a major investment, the goal is simple: understand what you're getting into before something goes wrong.
No sales pitch. No industry BS. Just experience, education, and the occasional well deserved rant.
Before Solar, there was the Navy
Before entering the solar industry, I spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy as a submariner and sonar technician aboard nuclear submarines. It's an environment where understanding your equipment isn't optional, procedures exist for a reason, and mistakes can have serious consequences.
That experience shaped how I approach solar and battery systems today. Understand the equipment, respect its limitations, and never assume something works simply because someone says it does.
Or, as I like to say: RTFM.
The same discipline that kept complex systems operating underwater applies to the equipment we install on rooftops and in homes.
Thinking About Going Solar or Adding Batteries?
A solar and battery system can be one of the largest investments you make in your home. Unfortunately, understanding what you're buying isn't always easy, especially when the person explaining it is also trying to sell it to you.
I offer independent technical reviews of residential solar and battery proposals to help homeowners better understand the equipment, system design, backup capabilities, and potential limitations before signing a contract.
I'm not selling you solar modules, inverters, or batteries. I'm helping you understand what you're being sold.
