AUSTIN, Texas – San Antonio-based CAM Solar is being sued by the state of Texas. The lawsuit alleges the company engaged in fraudulent and deceptive practices when selling solar-panel systems to consumers across the state.
The lawsuit follows an investigation into CAM Solar and several other solar-panel companies launched in April 2026. The Office of the Attorney General opened the inquiry after receiving more than 100 consumer complaints regarding misleading energy-bill savings, underperforming equipment, and undisclosed terms and policies.
According to state investigators, the company's customers faced nonexistent or significantly reduced energy savings, defective systems, and improper installations. In one instance, solar panels detached from a roof less than a year after installation, damaging both the consumer's property and a neighboring home.
The state also alleges CAM Solar left service requests unanswered, failed to disclose warranty and maintenance fees, misrepresented tax-credit eligibility, and left customers with ongoing financing obligations for systems that did not work as promised.
The lawsuit accuses CAM Solar of violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misleading consumers through deceptive marketing and failing to deliver promised products and services.
"This solar panel company lied to and deceived Texans with its fraudulent and deceptive sales tactics. My office will ensure justice is served," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. "Far too many Texans have been misled into purchasing expensive and complex solar systems under the guise of 'green energy.' That ends now. I will aggressively pursue any bad actor in the solar panel industry that attempts to cheat Texans."
The state is seeking to shut down CAM Solar’s business practices, secure financial restitution for affected Texas consumers, and obtain civil penalties under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
The Office of the Attorney General said it is continuing to investigate other solar-panel companies and will take action against businesses targeting state consumers with fraudulent practices.
