Solar Sales Tactics to Be Wary Of
Stay safe and do your research before agreeing to anything
A Solar Overview
Solar energy is a great opportunity for many homes across New England, and there are many reputable contractors you can work with. But it’s still important to be warry of scam activity.
The best way to stay safe and make sure you work with reputable partners during your solar installation and interconnection is to do your own research on solar and reach out to reputable installers in your area.
Steps to Avoid Scams
- Be wary of pushy sales tactics. Reputable installers will take time to explain things to you, walk you through pros and cons for your property, and allow you time to get multiple bids.
- Avoid paying large upfront deposits before work is done.
- Read the fine print to make sure you understand what you're signing, including all costs associated, interest rates and payment periods on any loans associated with the project.
- "Free" offers often have hidden costs.
- Be careful when providing your personal information to any prospective contractors.
- Don't click links in emails, texts or ads you're not sure about.
Eversource does not sell solar systems and will not come to your door soliciting or promoting a solar offer. If someone comes to your door claiming to be an Eversource employee or representative, we offer resources to help you verify their identity, and steps to take to report a scam if needed.
