Understanding Deceptive Trade Practices in the Solar Panel Industry

While solar energy is a beneficial and increasingly popular option for homeowners, some companies engage in practices that are designed to mislead consumers. These deceptive trade practices can include:

  • False Performance Claims: Promising more energy savings or higher efficiency than the system can actually deliver.

  • Misleading Financing Terms: Advertising “no money down” or “free installation” while hiding the true costs in long-term, high-interest financing agreements.

  • Undisclosed Maintenance Costs: Failing to inform consumers about the ongoing maintenance or additional costs required to keep the system operating efficiently.

  • Improper Installations: Installing panels in locations that don’t receive adequate sunlight, leading to poor performance and reduced savings.

  • Bait and Switch Tactics: Advertising one type of system or technology but providing a less efficient or outdated model upon installation.

  • High-Pressure Sales Tactics: Pressuring consumers to sign contracts without giving them adequate time to review the terms or consult with an expert.

Your Rights as a Solar Panel Consumer

As a consumer, you have the right to transparency, honesty, and fair dealing when it comes to investing in solar panels. Here are a few tips to protect yourself:

1. Research the Company: Before signing any contracts, research the solar company thoroughly. Look for reviews, check for any complaints with consumer protection agencies, and verify their credentials.

2. Read the Contract Carefully: Ensure you fully understand the terms of the contract, including any financing arrangements, maintenance responsibilities, and performance guarantees. 

3. Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask the company for clarification on anything that seems unclear. A reputable company will be willing to answer your questions without pressuring you.

4. Get Everything in Writing: Make sure all promises, warranties, and guarantees are documented in writing and included in your contract.

5. You Can Always Contact An Attorney: If you do not understand your terms and conditions contact an attorney prior to signing. Many Solar Panel companies are now recording their explanation of terms and conditions to the consumer (you) as well as when you sign the contract. They have begun using those videos as proof the consumer claimed to “understand” the terms and conditions. This could leave you without any legal remedy. Therefore if you do not understand the terms and conditions call an attorney.
