ROOFTOP SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION COMPLAINTS

SB 188 creates a new website link on the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department's site that directs consumers to the State Department of Justice's page displaying complaints against rooftop solar panel installers. It also provides clear instructions for consumers to file their own complaints. The bill appropriates $100,000 from the general fund to fund this website feature for fiscal year 2026. This directly affects homeowners who purchase solar installations and the installers who may face consumer complaints through this centralized resource.
