A new law in Texas is targeting misleading sales practices in the solar panel industry. Homeowners have reported being promised significant savings on their energy bills, only to end up paying more. One homeowner claims her monthly payments for panels and electricity now total around $450, exceeding her previous power bill cost.

New regulations aim to increase accountability among solar retailers and salespeople. Details of the law and its impact are available from the source. Further information on the new Texas regulations and the experiences of affected homeowners can be found through additional reporting.
