Current Regulations Often Favor Companies Many state and federal regulations governing the solar industry were written with input from industry lobbyists but limited involvement from consumer advocates. This regulatory imbalance often leaves homeowners with fewer protections than they deserve.
Policymakers Need Real Stories Legislators understand policy issues better when they hear from constituents who have experienced problems firsthand. Your "solar story" carries more weight with elected officials than abstract policy arguments from professional lobbyists.
Collective Action Creates Change Individual complaints may receive polite responses from elected officials, but coordinated advocacy demands more attention and stronger action.

Automated Advocacy Tools When relevant legislation is introduced in your state or at the federal level, we notify you and provide pre-written correspondence that you can personalize and send to your representatives. This system makes advocacy convenient while ensuring your voice is heard on important issues. Why wait? You can also ask your representatives to initiate this legislation.
Educational Resources We provide regular updates on solar industry regulation, pending legislation, and consumer protection developments.
Coordinated Campaign Support Join us on our Ambassador program so we can advocate together for stronger consumer protections. Advocacy leads to change. Let your voice be heard.
We advocate for laws requiring solar companies to honor warranties and service agreements even when ownership changes through merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy.
Many states lack specific requirements for solar performance guarantees, allowing companies to make vague promises that are difficult to enforce. We support legislation requiring standardized performance metrics and enforcement mechanisms.
Stronger licensing requirements and bonding standards help ensure only qualified companies can offer solar installations and provide consumer recourse when problems occur.
We support regulations requiring solar companies to provide standardized disclosures about costs, benefits, and risks, similar to requirements in other major consumer purchases.
