(Des Moines, IA) — The consumer protection division of the Iowa Attorney General’s Office reports a dramatic upturn in complaints about solar energy companies. Spokesperson Lynn Hicks says people are encountering more costs and headaches with solar than they had anticipated. Hicks says there have been delays in getting panels installed and exaggerations about how much would be saved in energy costs. Between 2019 and 2021 the division received 15 complaints about solar energy systems. So far this year it has already received 40 complaints.
