- Pending Government Action:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:Division of Consumer Protection Complaint
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the governments allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On March 1, 2022, Utah Division of Consumer Protection (the Division) filed a Complaint against Avolta Power, Inc. and Bello Solar Energy, LLC for failure to comply with an administrative subpoena issued on November 22, 2021. The subpoena seeks "a copy of each version of any contract(s) used to sell residential solar systems to consumers from January 1, 2020 to the present date, and un unredacted copy of each contract for any consumer who canceled the contract described above. The subpoena further requested the businesses to identify whether the consumer was charged a cancellation fee; if so, the amount of the fee and how much of the fee the consumer paid; and any consumers whose accounts were sent to collections as a result of non-payment by the consumer of the cancellation fee.
The Division asks the Court to enter a declaratory judgment that these businesses are in contempt for failure to comply with the Subpoena and order them to show cause why they should not be compelled to appear and comply with the subpoena.

The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government’s allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On April 26, 2022, the Minnesota Attorney General filed a lawsuit in Hennepin County District Court. Charges filed allege the business, three of its executives, and several lending partners engaged in deceptive and fraudulent practices in marketing and selling residential solar panel systems. The suit alleges these individuals and entities violated several Minnesota state laws against consumer fraud by leading consumers to believe they were partnering with utility companies when they were not, that they were signing up for information only to be tricked into signing a binding contract, and by exaggerating how much money could be saved.
