Don't Lose Money on a Solar Scam

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Consumer Alert Summary

Clean energy shouldn’t come at the cost of consumer trust. Solar panels and energy-efficient home upgrades can offer real benefits — lower utility bills, reduced carbon footprints, and long-term savings. But as these solutions grow in popularity, so do the number of misleading and predatory sales practices. From companies falsely claiming government or utility partnerships to those misrepresenting the true costs, savings, or financing terms, consumers deserve better. If you’ve been misled about “free” solar panels, pressured into unaffordable clean energy loans, or left with unexpected home liens, you’re not alone — and you may have legal options.

Our firm holds solar and clean energy providers accountable. Consumer protection laws like the FTC Act, state unfair trade statutes, and new rules like the FTC’s Impersonation Rule and CFPB’s proposed PACE loan regulations are designed to prevent the exact kinds of deception plaguing this industry. We help clients pursue claims when companies hide costs, exaggerate savings, or falsely claim affiliation with government programs. If you’ve been harmed by one of these companies, we’ll help you understand your rights and take steps to seek financial recovery, remove unauthorized liens, and stop further harm.
