Have You Been Mis-Sold Solar Panels?

Sep 22, 2021

Energy saving and self-funding Solar Panels false promises.


Who wouldn’t want a solar panel if it could result in an electricity bill reduction and reduce carbon footprint, everyone does. But not all could afford the thousands of pounds cost for a solar panel installation that’s why most people were told to take out loans or having it financed by a financial institution or credit card with a false assurance that they could benefit out of it and could cover the monthly finance repayment.

According to BBC news on 9th of September 2019 that there thousands of people in UK who bought solar panels complained that the solar panels were not bringing the returns as promised and the Financial Services Ombudsman had about 2,000 complaints. Another BBB news on 7th of March 2020 talked about a solar panel company having mis-sold solar panels for a 25 year contract without their knowledge in Stoke-on-Trent, one of the complainants said that “their digital signatures were given on a iPad to agree to a survey being carried out on their homes, being copied on to contracts they knew nothing about”.

How do you know if you have been mis-sold a solar panel?

You will know if you have been mis-sold a solar panel when you experience this or you were told by the solar panel firm who sold you the solar panel:

  1. Mis-representation of the product – it occurs when you were misled by the solar panel provider giving you a deceiving and inappropriate advice at the point of sale.
  2. Electricty bill reduction that could cover your monthly finance repayment.
  3. An excess production of electricity supply.
  4. Financial benefits received from Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) scheme or Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
  5. That the solar panels would generate an income that can pay itself and you got nothing to lose.
