NJ AG Hopes to Repair Allegedly False Solar Panel Claims
Shining a metaphorical light on claims about solar panels, the office of New Jersey State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal has entered into a consent order compelling a company accused of deceptive advertising its solar panel products to change its tune.
In addition to the nearly $70,000 monetary penalty imposed by the settlement, NRG Residential Solar Solutions will make changes to its business practices and sales claims. Notably, the settlement obligates NRG to enter into binding arbitration concerning pending claims and any complaints filed within one year from the settlement. The company will also uninstall its solar panels from the homes of two consumers at no cost as part of the settlement.
