We are seeing far more of this in the past 2-3 years, especially for off grid
systems.
It seems like very few of these new startup bandwagon places have even a remote
clue as to how to size battery based systems. I would guess that half of our
tech support calls come from people that bought systems from someone "cheaper"
than us.
A couple days ago a cell phone company that has a few small sites called us
about how the sites were all going dead. They sent us a copy of what they
bought, and the <unnamed> company based their battery system on the yearly
average insolation. DUH!

We are seeing more and more installers entering the local solar market with
little or no experience. Yes, they may have attended some kind of 2-day dealer
training in order to set up an account to purchase solar hardware, but believe
me, most could not design or size anything....
