5 Warning Signs Your Solar Company Committed Fraud
Solar fraud is more common than you think. Here are the 5 most common signs that your solar company may have committed fraud, and what you can do about it.
Sign 1: Promised Savings That Never Materialized
If your solar company promised specific savings amounts that haven't come close to reality, this could constitute fraud or misrepresentation.
Sign 2: Hidden Escalation Clauses
Many homeowners discover annual rate increases of 2-3% that were never clearly explained during the sales process.
Sign 3: Forged or Altered Documents
Some solar companies have been caught forging signatures or altering contract terms after signing.
Sign 4: Misrepresented System Performance
If your system produces significantly less energy than promised, the sales projections may have been fraudulent.
Sign 5: Unauthorized Credit Checks or Applications
Running credit checks or submitting loan applications without your knowledge is a serious violation.
