[RE-wrenches] Solar product whole sellers with good reputation

[Christopher Warfel]

I was thinking that too, but I also think that perhaps if a periodical 
conducted a survey of installers re the vendors and printed it, it would 
provide good feedback for all, especially the vendors.(the vendors 
probably want equal time, but they can make their own argument) I 
realize that "stuffing the ballot box" is a valid concern. However, just 
trying to get a $6k order delivered has taken a unbelievable amount of 
time, and I still haven't received it. Is this endemic to the industry, 
if so why?  Are margins that thin, and data systems that poor that this 
is expected? When one reads the credentials of the management teams of 
some of these companies, it sounds like they should be able to solve 
these problems with a hand and foot tied behind their back.  Chris
