Clean Energy Consumer Bill of Rights

Ensuring a Positive Consumer Experience

“It’s important for consumers to have independent information to guide them through the process, to make sure reality meets their expectations and the benefits of installing solar are realized.”

Consumer Reports

Our future depends on clean, renewable energy and our ability to access and enjoy that energy efficiently.

IREC’s Clean Energy Consumer Bill of Rights addresses important consumer issues, including safety, contractual transparency, warranties, advertising, privacy, and other protective measures related to solar and other renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

This information empowers consumers to engage in the rapidly evolving clean energy industries with greater confidence. It enables a positive consumer experience with products, technologies, service providers, marketers, sellers, and other market players, including their utility.

Our Clean Energy Consumer Bill of Rights covers consumer relationships with utilities, third-party providers and sellers, access to the utility grid, and access to electricity consumption data.
