PORTLAND — Consumer advocates have asked state Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum to investigate sales practices in the solar industry.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported the Washington, D.C.-based Campaign for Accountability requested the investigation after reviewing nearly 60 consumer complaints filed with the Oregon Justice Department since 2012.
The advocates said the complaints show a pattern of deceptive sales practices, with some solar companies misleading customers about potential energy savings and the true cost of installing panels.
