New “Be Solar Smart” Consumer Tools Promote Safe Installation and Fair Deal
Along with the growing number of Americans exploring powering their homes from the sun, comes the need to help consumers through the complex process of going solar.

It is part of a consumer tool trio including IREC’s Clean Energy Consumer Bill of Rights, the Solar Smart Consumer Checklist, and a Consumer Resources link list.
