The FTC published a solar-sales consumer alert on September 26, 2024, warning about offers that portray rooftop panels as free or claim a government affiliation. The alert urged consumers to resist pressure, obtain the complete agreement and understand payment schedules, warranties and cancellation terms. It also cautioned about demands for large advance payments paired with promised savings. This is an older consumer-protection announcement, not a new enforcement case or a current list of solar programs. Its publication date has not been replaced by the review date.

Pause when a salesperson will not provide the full contract or identify the program behind a claimed benefit. Verify any program through its administering authority, compare written offers and evaluate current tax rules separately from this historical scam alert.
