Review My Solar Dispute Eligibility →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.

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.
