The UTPCPL is one of the strongest consumer protection laws in the Northeast. Misrepresenting SREC income, tax credits, or PECO/PPL savings is a violation.
Under the FTC Cooling-Off Rule. Pennsylvania Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (73 P.S. § 517.3) requires contractor registration. An unregistered contractor may render the contract void.
Pennsylvania has a strong solar market, particularly in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metros. The state's SREC market has been volatile, and many sales reps used peak SREC values to calculate savings projections that no longer reflect market reality. Pennsylvania's UTPCPL provides a broad remedy for homeowners who were misled.
Under 73 P.S. § 517.3, solar installers in Pennsylvania must be registered as home improvement contractors. The registration number must appear on the contract. If your installer was not registered, or if the number is missing, the contract may be unenforceable.
