Verengo Solar was a legitimate residential solar installer founded in 2008 that achieved significant historical revenue ($100M+ peak). However, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2016, sold its assets to Crius Energy, and operations were fully shut down in 2019. The submission ignores this critical status, falsely claims the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product', and lists nonsensical revenue figures ('all time marketcap'). Due to the project being defunct and the submission containing misleading/false claims, the Proof of Usefulness is minimal.
