Consumer Alert: Protect Yourself from Unlicensed Solar Contractors

We’re seeing an increase in solar companies operating without proper licensing or registration with the local jurisdiction and utility companies. These contractors may offer deals that seem too good to be true—and often are.

Before signing anything, take a few simple steps to protect your home and your investment:

Verify Utility Registration – Ask if the contractor is approved and registered. CPS Energy Solar Registered Contractors
