I genuinely feel like insurance companies have too much power. It's something required for day to day life but they get to set the terms on a whim and you just have to put up with it. People easily get screwed over by these companies and not a single politician or elected official brings up what's going on.

He encourages the solar industry (and other clean-tech industries) to share their independent research with the insurance sector to speed things up.

How about the insurance industry gets their assess up off their fat sacks of cash and go find that research - it not like anyone is hiding it from them.

For TD insurance they put a checkbox on your file and it's otherwise business as usual.

To be fair, and far be it from me to defend insurance companies, but putting hundreds of lbs of extra weight on the roof of am old house that was probably barely on the edge of able to support the snow load may be where the issue lies.

I've stood on roofs where it can barely hold me up and feel it deflecting enough to make me nervous, even stepping on the places supported by rafters. A lot of these installers don't give a fuck what the structure is that they're using.

Ground mounts take up space but don't have these issues.
