Review for GoodLeap / Solar Sales Experience
Consultant: Lauren Morganstein
I want to be clear from the start: Lauren Morganstein was kind, patient, and very detail-oriented during her presentation. She took time to explain the system, answered my questions, and treated me with warmth and respect. We even shared laughs about festivals we’ve attended, and she genuinely came across as someone who cared. On a human level, my interaction with her felt real and sincere.
That said, I feel it’s important to share the full experience — especially for people who may be financially disadvantaged or under stress.
At the time of this presentation, I was in a very vulnerable place financially, worried about basic needs like being able to buy food for my family. In that state, I was presented with a solar lease that was framed as a way to save money and get relief from rising utility bills. The messaging made it feel like help — like something that would ease my burden.
Only after carefully reviewing the details did I realize that this was a 25-year lease with annual escalators, not ownership, and that the long-term cost and loss of flexibility could actually put someone like me at greater financial risk. The projected “savings” rely heavily on assumptions about future utility rate increases, while the solar payment itself increases every year regardless of personal circumstances.
What’s heartbreaking is that this type of model can easily feel supportive and reassuring to someone in desperation — not because the consultant is being unkind, but because the corporate structure and sales framing benefit from urgency and vulnerability. When you’re struggling, it’s hard to slow down and fully see how these agreements can lock you into decades-long obligations.
I don’t believe Lauren intentionally tried to harm me. In fact, she was professional and personable throughout. But I do believe this experience shows how large corporations can unintentionally take advantage of people who are already struggling, by presenting complex, long-term financial products as short-term relief.
I’m sharing this so others will:
• Ask more questions
• Take more time
• Get independent advice
• And understand the difference between feeling helped and being financially protected
Kindness in delivery does not always equal fairness in structure — and people deserve transparency, especially when they’re vulnerable.
