Complaint Resolution Process

As part of SEIA's consumer protection efforts, SEIA has developed the Complaint Resolution Process for the SEIA Solar Business Code, which is designed to resolve complaints regarding violations of the SEIA Solar Business Code. SEIA is now accepting complaint submissions from the public, along with supporting documents, for review by SEIA and its Resolution Panels.

Residential Disclosures

These streamlined statements are designed to help solar customers understand the terms and costs of a solar transaction - for a cash sale, lease or PPA. They are not intended to be a substitute for reading the contract, lease and other documents associated with a solar transaction.

As the residential solar industry expands nationally, solar companies are engaging more with telemarketing and lead generation companies to connect with consumers. Solar companies need to understand all applicable laws that govern these activities, including federal law. As part of SEIA's consumer protection efforts and as a service to the industry, this industry alert provides an overview of relevant telemarketing rules that companies need to be aware of to stay compliant with the law and the SEIA Solar Business Code.

Lease and PPA Model Agreements

Initially developed under the Solar Access to Public Capital (SAPC) working group led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, these model contracts are endorsed by SEIA as a critical component of our consumer protection and cost reduction programs.
