Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Thursday that his office sued San Antonio-based CAM Solar for deceptive practices amid a statewide investigation into alleged fraud in the rooftop solar industry.
The state argued in its lawsuit this week that CAM Solar installed defective solar systems, misrepresented energy bill savings, failed to respond to service requests and didn’t disclose maintenance fees. The suit was filed in the District Court of Bexar County, Texas.
“Far too many Texans have been misled into purchasing expensive and complex solar systems under the guise of ‘green energy,’” Paxton said in a statement. “That ends now. I will aggressively pursue any bad actor in the solar panel industry that attempts to cheat Texans.”
A representative with CAM Solar hung up on a reporter for POLITICO’s E&E News who called Thursday to ask about Paxton’s lawsuit. The Texas Solar + Storage Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
