Avoid Being Burned By Solar Scams!

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Consumer Alert Summary

Solar savings should never come with surprise costs. As more homeowners explore solar energy and efficiency upgrades, dishonest actors have rushed in to exploit the trend. These scams often start with a phone call, online message, or uninvited visit from someone pretending to represent the government or your utility company. They offer “free” solar panels, guaranteed rebates, or enrollment in a non-existent clean energy program — but the reality is often hidden costs, high-interest financing, or demands for payments you never agreed to. Many homeowners are left facing unexpected debt or liens, with no real savings in sight.

We help consumers fight back against energy efficiency scams. Whether you’ve been misled into signing a solar contract, pressured to pay up-front fees, or tricked into sharing personal information under false pretenses, our firm can help. We understand the patterns behind these deceptive schemes and the laws that protect you — including rules against impersonation, misrepresentation, and unlawful financing practices. If your experience with solar energy or clean home upgrades turned into a financial trap, we’ll work with you to uncover what happened and hold the responsible parties accountable.
