NPR - Solar power is booming and it could help the country meet its climate goals for replacing fossil fuels. But in recent years, customer complaints about fraud and forgery when trying to go solar have increased. U.S. prosecutors are investigating high-pressure sales tactics and misleading financing arrangements and The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau warns potential solar customers recently about hidden fees and deceptive statements about its financial benefits. So if you’re interested in solar, how do you stay safe? Here are some things to consider:
☀️ Consumer advocates say you should be skeptical of anyone who knocks on your door selling solar.
☀️ Most experts NPR consulted suggest finding an installation company that’s been in business in your community for years.
☀️ You should get at least three quotes and ask each company to give you quotes for both financing and paying in cash.
☀️ Solar isn’t for everyone. Here’s why.
