The federal government does not require solar companies to give away solar panels. Consumers should understand the costs and limits in offers for “free solar panels.”

that with such offers, the customer is not buying the panels but essentially leasing them. Although customers pay money down, they will pay monthly bills for the lease, the energy, or both.that under such deals, the solar company handles installation and maintenance for up to 25 years. After that, the customer might have a chance to buy the panels, otherwise the solar company will remove the panels.

But that does not make the video’s claim about mandatory solar panel giveaways accurate. We rate the claim False.
