Find the Resource That Matches Your Solar Issue
Do not waste time filing the same complaint everywhere. Start with the part of the transaction that actually failed.
Colorado Now Requires More From Solar Sales Companies
Colorado enacted new requirements for covered residential solar and battery agreements entered into on or after July 1, 2026. The law addresses disclosures, agreement terms, sales conduct, welcome calls, record retention, financing documents, and installation and workmanship warranties.
For covered system sales, the buyer receives at least three business days to cancel without a financial penalty other than a permitted nonrefundable deposit. That cancellation period does not begin until the required welcome call has occurred.
Review the official Colorado residential energy-system consumer-protection law and compare its requirements with the date, structure, disclosures, and sales process involved in your agreement.
Key Colorado Requirements
- Required consumer disclosures
- Payment and contact information
- Welcome-call requirements
- Cancellation rights for covered sales
- Financing-document requirements
- Restrictions on misleading affiliations
- Installation and workmanship warranties
- Retention of signed agreements
- Enforcement as deceptive trade practices
Use the Agency That Handles Your Type of Problem
A sales complaint, lender complaint, electrical complaint, utility complaint, and permit problem do not belong in the same system.
Colorado Attorney General
Use this resource for false advertising, misrepresentations, incorrect billing, refund disputes, repair problems, deceptive practices, and failure to perform a service.
Colorado Consumer Credit Unit
Use this resource for complaints involving lenders, creditors, financing disclosures, payment servicing, collections, and nonbank consumer-credit companies.
DORA and the Electrical Board
Use these resources to verify an electrician or electrical contractor, review available disciplinary information, and report regulated electrical work.
Colorado Public Utilities Commission
Use this resource for qualifying issues involving a regulated electric utility, utility billing, meter records, electric service, or the utility's handling of an account.
Local or State Permit Authority
Use the city, county, or State Electrical Board records to check permits, inspections, corrections, final approval, and whether the project remains open.
Colorado Secretary of State
Use the business database to check entity names, filing status, registered agents, trade names, and filing history. Use the UCC system to search financing statements and liens.
Filing a Complaint and Resolving the Contract Are Not the Same Thing
A regulator may document misconduct or investigate a pattern, but that does not automatically solve an individual homeowner's contract, payment, credit, system, or home-sale problem.
What a Complaint Can Do
- Create an official record of the conduct
- Help regulators identify repeated complaints
- Support an investigation or disciplinary review
- Provide information for broader enforcement
- Lead to informal mediation in selected cases
- Document the steps you took to seek a resolution
What a Complaint Does Not Automatically Do
- Cancel a solar contract or loan
- Stop a lender or servicer from collecting
- Repair or activate the system
- Recover every dollar that was paid
- Provide an individual attorney
- Protect a pending home closing or deadline
A Business Filing or UCC Search Does Not Tell the Whole Story
The Secretary of State business database can help identify a company's legal name, status, registered agent, filing history, and trade names. It does not certify that the company is reputable or operating legally.
A UCC search can show financing statements, secured parties, amendments, and certain lien records. Do not assume that every UCC filing is a lien against the entire home. Obtain the actual record and review the debtor, secured party, collateral description, amendments, and current status.

Use Federal Resources When the Problem Extends Beyond Colorado
Some solar financing, deceptive-sales, and project issues also fall within federal complaint or consumer-education systems.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Use the CFPB complaint system for problems involving a consumer financial product or service, including qualifying solar-loan and servicing complaints.
Federal Trade Commission
Use the FTC reporting system to document scams, impersonation, deceptive conduct, and other suspected consumer fraud.
U.S. Department of Energy
Use Department of Energy guidance to understand the separate permit, inspection, utility-interconnection, and activation steps involved in a rooftop solar project.
