GNRG Solar

They are completely dishonest and unethical. I signed a contract for solar panel installation I later found out that many of their business practices were illegal. The sales persons signature on the contract was ineligible, his printed name was omitted, and he was not registered. They required me to pay up front before the work was done and that is illegal. The contract did not list the work to be performed or the equipment to be used and that is illegal. The contract failed to list material terms agree to by the representative of the company and that is illegal. The license number they gave me was not one required for solar installation. The contract called for the electrical circuit panel breaker box to be upgraded to a 200 amp system but none of the plans submitted to me had this provision in them. They told me I should have the house foundation retrofitted for earthquake safety. They wanted to charge me $10,000. for the retrofitting work alone. They never posted the building permit which is illegal. I later found out the City of Long Beach Planning Department had declared the retrofitting work should not cost more than $4,500. The workmen they sent to do the retrofit work were undocumented and had never done this kind of work before and there was no one sent to supervise them. The materials they sent were later found to be inadequate for the job. They never showed me they had obtained a City of Long Beach business license required for them to do solar installations in the city. I cancelled the illegal contract but unfortunately not before I had paid them $6,000. up front. I did consult an attorney but the amount I paid was not sufficient to take the case to court. I have not yet received a single dime back from them. The only actual work they did was a rooftop layout analysis. I have received a costly and bitter lesson from this. Do not make my mistake.
