The machine's answers on \"why people don't buy solar\" are beyond the fold. It is a fairly decent answer, comparable to what a man-on-the-street might say.

\n

It is also wrong.

\n

The number one reason why people don't want solar at their residence is because they are resistant to create a situation that might cause their roof to leak.

\n

Other reasons include that \"it seems too good to be true\", and an opaque sales-process with no strong brands.
