I recieved an Email from a solar company called Solar tek energy that said there was a rebate for my local eletrical company. After I inquired I recieved an email from Stefan M. that said it was a subsidy program. Of course it sounded overly good . but I went ahead and responded . Stupidly I know now. A salesman came to my home on a saturday. He had a program that said there was a rebete program , Total of 23,000.00 yes to good to be true.
After a lot of question and talk. The salesman said they had a 1A rate with the BBB and were the #1 solar company in the nation.
He went on and explained that I could get a tax investment credit for around $12000.00 after the paper work was done from a solar subsidy program. That amount was to include a credit for the amount of the Rebate. The $23000.00. What I had to do was give a deposit of 1/2 of the end cost to me. Pay the rest along with the total when the install was done. Or so I understud it. He sated that I would agree to pay the total to cover the time between the rebate and payment time on a no interest program they had set up for there customers. . They would handle the paperwork. I gave them my credit info. Over and over he asured it was a true program. No quilification that I needed to meet at any time. I gave him the deposit check , It still bothered me so on Monday called and I attempted to get my check back several times. He said the check had already been deposited. He stalled me several times. Agian stating not to worry it was just a paper work requirement and real money back . They sent me paper work with the wrong information on it also several times although I did sent back some of the paperwork , they continued to stall the truth about the program and how it worked
I found after I was sent the information that there was no , No intrest program from the company they refered me to. Also that it was not a subsidy program, I also contacted the IRS and was informed that I should not claim a credit on tax fileing for an investment of funds I had not invested. I also did not have the tax burden to claim it anyway . Also the rebates . I have asked and no one has any program that rebates such money. The solar panel rebate is for more than the cost of the panels on the open market..
I put in there company on the BBB site and they are not rated at all with them.
Another Red Flag is they wont all of the money to be paid before anything is ordered for the project started. I have been doing work and sales for most of my life and at no time have I ever encountered any honest company that had such a requirement..
To this date the contacts and request for the deposit return with them have been such to blame me for the entire thing and atempting to belittle me into backing off. They refuse to aknolage the fact that any of their people or represenatives did anything wrong. Or that they may be giving people the paper work to file on their taxes that may be tax fraud in the end . These people have refused to give me their company addresses or phone numbers in the state I live in and while they have a mailing address there is no phone number listed for that address.
Warrning to anyone contacted by them. Please attempt to find information on them before you give them anything. Do not let them into your home.
