Texas Attorney General Opens Probe Into Residential Solar Sales

The pre‑litigation probe tests whether sales claims broke Texas consumer protection law.

Overview

  • Attorney General Ken Paxton opened a consumer investigation and served civil investigative demands to Sunrun, Freedom Forever, Lone Star Solar Services, and CAM Solar.
  • The inquiry centers on alleged misstatements about electricity bill savings and how well rooftop systems work under the Deceptive Trade Practices–Consumer Protection Act.
  • The AG’s office says it has received more than 100 complaints tied to the four firms, and Paxton pledged to hold sellers accountable for deceptive marketing.
  • The demands require records on how customer savings are calculated and tracked, along with warranties, service plans, marketing materials, and contract terms.
  • The effort is still pre‑litigation with no lawsuits filed yet, and Paxton signaled this is only the beginning of a wider crackdown noted by coverage as he campaigns in a Senate runoff against John Cornyn.
