A Dunnville couple has lost money after investing in solar energy. A year ago David and Margaret Crumb were visited by a door to door salesman who convinced them to install a ground monitored solar generator system. They were assured that a program from the Ontario Power Authority would pay them for the energy they produced, and handed over a $30,000 deposit. However a year later they’ve not received anything they paid for. Crumb has said that at the time he didn’t check with Haldimand County Hydro to make sure he could install the equipment, and they’ve since said they would be unable to do so. Certified Solar Inc, the company that sold the Crumbs their equipment has admitted they didn’t know if they would be able to get permission to install it when they took the money.
