Texas Solar Panel Scam Exposed: AG Ken Paxton Cracks Down on Companies Selling Deceptive Solar Panel Systems

Texans have been ripped off by companies selling solar panel systems, and it’s time for them to pay. According to a major initiative launched by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a number of companies are engaging in fraudulent and deceptive practices, targeting thousands of Texans with false promises of savings on their energy bills.

As part of the initiative, Attorney General Paxton has issued Civil Investigative Demands (“CIDs”) to several companies, including Freedom Forever, LLC. (“Freedom Solar”), SunRun, Inc. (“Sunrun”), Lone Star Solar Services LLC (“Lone Star Solar”), and CAM Solar Inc. (“CAM Solar”). Collectively, there are over 100 complaints that have been filed with the OAG against these companies, along with thousands more online.

The companies are largely being investigated for violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act. Some of the companies’ actions being investigated involve misrepresentations regarding savings for consumers on their energy bills, the efficacy of their solar panel systems, equipment implementations, as well as the companies’ terms and policies.

The CIDs require the companies to disclose, among other information, documents regarding how they track changes to electricity bills for consumers using their systems to determine savings, warranties, service plans, marketing materials, and contract information.

“Thousands of Texans have been targeted by companies selling solar panel systems, and it’s imperative that these companies are held responsible for any lies or deceptive marketing they use,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This initiative to stop widespread fraudulent activity in the solar panel industry is only beginning, and my office will take legal action against any corporations breaking the law and scamming Texans.”

The Texas Attorney General’s office is urging consumers to be cautious when dealing with solar panel companies and to do their research before signing any contracts. Consumers can report any suspicious activity to the OAG’s Consumer Protection Division.

As the investigation continues, Texans can expect to see more action taken against companies engaging in deceptive practices. With Attorney General Paxton at the helm, it’s clear that those who scam and deceive will be held accountable.

Texans, don’t let the scammers get away with it. Report any suspicious activity and support the Texas Attorney General’s efforts to protect consumers.
