      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      Solar installation complete in January 2023. On the grid on March ******. Promises of incentives of $1000 at the end of installation. None given.2. Was told that I would be getting a 26 percent solar credit ($23,000) to put directly back into my loan. Upon completion of taxes, I didn't qualify for it because of no taxed income. I am a 64 year old retired widow. Never was I told to check with a tax specialist. *************************************** the sales rep, sold this project with the idea of me getting this credit. When I texted him about this his response was " I was under the impression you had a taxed income" Completely misinformation by him. In 10 months I will be paying a lot more that I was before. My current solar finance bill is $520 which will increase significantly is 10 months. 3. Solar project was for an aggregation project for my home and my large storage shop. 44 panels were installed that would provide 28k kwh and would provide more than enough energy for both. As of today (8/17/23), PGE is still not fully connected and I am paying for both the solar project and PGE. This is now costing me more than with just electricity alone. I was told by both solar and PGE it would take 60 days as of March to be fully connected. Many emails and calls to all involved with no solution. 4. 44 panels are currently connected to a **** square foot home and my currently true up bill is almost $1500. I was told up my true up would be minimal. 5. Ive never received any documentation regarding this project or a loan. This company sends out a portfolio with this info, but Ive never received it. I have requested it 3 times with no response.6. I have been contacting this company and all involved for over a month and no one returns emails, calls, or is attempting to help with this situation. Neither Power on Solar nor Sun Power is being responsive, and yet here I am having to be responsible for the payment. I have emails and text messages that can be sent upon request
