How to Avoid Solar Scams and High-Pressure Sales in Connecticut
Because high utility rates make Connecticut a highly profitable solar market, it attracts aggressive door-to-door sales teams that use deceptive tactics to rush homeowners into poor financial agreements.
Red Flags to Watch For:
- The "Free State Program" Trap: If an ad claims you get "free panels" through a new state program, it is a scam. They are selling you a lease. You get "free" panels, but the installer steals your 30% Federal Tax Credit and all the financial benefits of the RRES program.
- Fake Utility Workers: Salesmen will often claim they work for Eversource or UI. The utility companies do not sell solar panels door-to-door.
- High-Pressure Tactics: If a representative refuses to leave your home without a signed contract or will not show you the itemized cash price versus the financed price, terminate the meeting.
