      Status:

      I want to start by saying saying I was sold untruthful facts by YSG Solars Rep. regarding savings I would get by installing solar panels in 6/2017. The savings was so short lived and my electric bill had dropped down to about $17-$25 a month from approximately $190-$233 a month without solar. Today my billing is back at the same $200+ **** with solar and I don't know why Coned has me on a Level payment plan. I've called YSG over and over in the past about the panels not working right and no one has come to do maintenance to make sure it's working. Month after month the panels readings indicate from Con ****** billing that there's "O" Cumulative net meter energy credit. I'm looking at a statement which show me a period from 1/13/2022-4/14/2022 was "** *****. Only 4/14/2022-5/13/2022 that there was "-*** ***** on the reading for usage credited. The whole remainer of time from 5/14/2022-12/13/2022 "** ***** is shown. The same for 1/13/2023-3/16/2023 "0" then 3/16/2023-4/13/2023 "***** *****, 4/13/2023-5/12/23 "-***", 5/12/23-6/13/23 -**** *****, 6/13/23-7/13/23 "-**** ***** and after that 7/13/23-2/12/23 "*". I was told by a Rep.******* during a call I made 12/2021 that during winter months that its monthly cloudy so I wouldnt receive direct sunlight to the panels to produce credit as much as the summer months. These panels are not functioning right and l've been ripped off. Also YSG installed the panels on my roof and knew the roof was in poor condition. I just had my roof inspected due to a bad leak and the insurance inspector stated its an issue to leave it in this condition. This is unsafe for me and my family living under a bad job at the hands of this shady work. I'm very unsatisfied and have reached out numerous times regarding the panels not working correctly and nothing has changed, Con ****** has just been taking my money, and YSG got paid $12,500.00 of my hard earned money and now I'm stuck with the many issues to resolve with no one to turn to fix them.

      Just like other complaints, I too have had the same kind of headache. YSG was great during the sales pitch. Minor issues during the solar panel installation but still very responsive to my concerns. My panels were completely installed by Sept 2022. As per them, they submitted to D.O.B. for inspection, and now we just have to wait for a couple of months. I got in touch with YSG after waiting for 2 months. They started to ignore me. They don't pick up my calls. They don't respond to my emails. Every now and then, they would write to me saying that we are really close to a D.O.B. inspection, but they've been saying that since December 2022. When I ask them to show me paperwork they've submitted to D.O.B., they said they'll get it from their 3rd party electrician. A month later, still nothing; now their excuse is my application has other other clients' info, and giving me anything would violate their privacy. That's ****! I called D.O.B. myself and they said there is no inspection request. I'm starting with BBB but I'll also contact my local consumer advocates, AG office, government officials, and politicians.
