This policy explains who is responsible for the site's consumer guides, which sources support high-risk claims, and how updates and corrections are handled.
Maria Gomez is the named author and editor for the consumer-guide library. Her byline identifies responsibility for source review, explanatory writing, and material updates.
For legal, company, lender, and enforcement claims, the first choice is a primary source: regulator announcements, court filings, bankruptcy dockets, statutes, agency guidance, company filings, contracts, and official complaint portals.
Public allegations, unresolved complaints, investigations, orders, settlements, and court findings are different procedural events. Pages should use the term that matches the source rather than flattening every record into a finding of fraud.
State-company pages are submitted for indexing only when a sufficiently specific primary source connects the named company with the named state. Unsupported combinations remain noindex reference pages.
If you believe a page contains an error, outdated fact, missing source, or unfair characterization, submit the eligibility form with the page URL, the sentence at issue, and any supporting public source.
Solar panel scams usually involve more than a single bad sales call. Homeowners often need to connect misleading savings promises, financing disclosures, installer performance, lien filings, warranty failures, and state complaint options before they know what happened. This resource center is organized so a visitor can move from symptom to evidence to next step without relying on JavaScript navigation.
Use the guides below to compare your situation against common solar fraud patterns, understand federal and state consumer-protection rights, prepare a complaint record, and decide whether an eligibility review makes sense. Keep copies of contracts, loan statements, utility bills, screenshots, emails, inspection notes, and any sales materials that promised tax credits, no electric bill, or guaranteed savings.
