The summer months bring sales people out across much of Utah, some of them selling solar panel installations — state officials said the industry causes a disproportionate share of complaints from customers.
The Utah Division of Consumer Protection said they get many complaints specifically about solar companies.KUTV asked the CEO of the Solar Energy Industry Association why this is the case. UDCP officials said many solar companies in Utah act perfectly ethically, but those that don't create a huge amount of complaints.
"Any kind of industry that grows rapidly, it's important sort of for the process to catch up and I think we're in that phase right now," Hopper said.
