"We've identified several hundred victims of the scheme. We think there might be more out there. The suit seeks the return of the homeowners' money, but some may be locked into installation loans and are now unsure if those will get cancelled."
"Several say the promised savings never materialized and transparency was hard to find. One client even claimed the panels were installed facing the wrong direction - away from optimal sun exposure. Other homeowners reported roof damage, leaking and unauthorized drilling by the installers."
Solar panels offer American homeowners potential carbon footprint reduction and lower utility bills, with many financing purchases through loans and federal tax credits. However, unlicensed, inexperienced, or fraudulent installers can undermine these benefits. New York City's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection filed a lawsuit against Radiant Solar following a CBS News investigation, identifying several hundred victims. Customers reported that promised savings never occurred, panels were installed facing wrong directions, roofs sustained damage and leaks, and the company refused to cover damages. The lawsuit seeks refunds, though some homeowners remain locked in installation loans with uncertain cancellation prospects.
