Wish I never got solar

From the start there were red flags, the salesman told me that the solar system would produce year round and save us so much that we would be trading our electric bill for solar loan and that the power we don't use our electric company will put it in a "bank" for us and pull from our "bank" before charging us for power (when the local electric company came out to swap the meter I was informed that they did not "bank" my back power they just send it right back out on the grid), and that we would get a tax credit check that would cover a large majority of the loan, the loan payments started 5 months before the system was even initially installed. Once the system was installed it took another 5 months before it could be "fully operational" so at that point i had paid for almost a year for a non working system. After finally getting it "set up" I have called and asked what setting to put it on as well as some other questions and could never seem to get a straight answer, like none of their employees had any idea how the equipment worked, as of now I have had the system running for a year and I have not seen a change in my electric bill what so ever, the only way i know that my solar actually does work is the 3 or so times my neighbors power went out i still had lights and such. When it came down to it and I was told I would get the tax check that would cover a "good portion" of the loan, come to find out the "good portion" i was supposed to get was to maintain my loan at a lower cost, tax credit was about $2000, but what was never explained to me was that I had a certain date that i had to pay them $15000 otherwise my payments went up by almost $200. in the long run the solar panels have saved me about $50 over the span on a year and added about $400 on top of my energy bill
