Egyptian Electric Cooperative Association is issuing an alert to its members regarding out-of-state solar installers claiming false association with EECA. Consumers have also reported that salespeople go door-to-door, claiming a false association with EECA.
The companies and salespeople have exaggerated that EECA's rates will experience significant annual increases, and have made unrealistic promises such as contracts with no bills.
EECA urges its consumer members to exercise caution when selecting a solar contractor. It is crucial to research reputable local contractors, obtain multiple bids, review contract details carefully, and verify experience and references.
EECA wants consumer members to note that they will only reap the benefits of their solar installation once an agreement is initiated. They do not endorse or refer companies to solicit its consumer members. If you're a member considering installing solar energy, contact EECA first for unbiased advice and assistance.
