Beware of misleading information…
Here is the revised review with that warning made prominent:
**BEWARE OF A KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR.** Our family believes misleading information was used and that an elderly, visually impaired homeowner was taken advantage of during this solar sale.
Our family has serious concerns about the way Sunergy Solar, now Zeo Energy, sold this solar system to my elderly father.
In August 2022, a door-to-door salesperson entered into an approximately $85,000 solar transaction with my father, who was 88 years old and had advanced macular degeneration. He could not meaningfully read or review the documents. Nevertheless, he was the only person listed as signing a 25-year financing agreement electronically on an iPad—an obligation that would continue until he was approximately 113 years old.
The sale also included representations concerning a substantial federal tax credit or financial benefit. Our parents were elderly and did not have sufficient federal income-tax liability to receive the benefit in the manner they apparently believed had been promised.
Our family did not discover the full contract terms and circumstances until we began helping our parents sell their home. My father’s memory has now significantly declined, and he does not remember the transaction. We have medical documentation concerning his vision impairment and have repeatedly attempted to obtain answers and a reasonable resolution.
We do not consider this matter resolved. We believe an elderly, visually impaired homeowner should never have been placed into a lengthy and extremely costly financial obligation without ensuring that he could read, understand, and knowingly consent to the agreement.
Families with elderly parents should be extremely cautious about door-to-door solar sales. Do not rely solely on what a salesperson tells you. Independently verify every statement concerning savings, tax credits, system value, financing terms, and the effect the contract may have when the home is sold.
**Beware of misleading information, high-pressure electronic signing, and sales practices that may take advantage of elderly homeowners. Do not allow an elderly family member to sign anything on an iPad or tablet without a trusted family member, attorney, or financial adviser carefully reviewing every document first.**
We have contacted the company - their response was "legal" jargon and accepted no liability. We are pursuing with an attorney.
