Is there evidence for this?

I'm writing this from CT. There are absolutely door to door solar salespeople (they don't work for the manufacturer, they work for a local distributor/installation service), and they absolutely tell you how many people in your neighborhood have bought from them.

They ride around on segways here.

		Thank you. I'm not from the US and I had no idea door-to-door sales were still a thing, let alone for significant investments such as solar.

I worked at a company that made a product just for this purpose: making estimates for solar panels for door-to-door sales. It was pretty popular.

		There are a number of companies that specialize in using an in-person, in-home encounter to put pressure on people to make poor purchases decisions, enough so that many states have implemented buyer’s remorse laws.
