The Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) has released a new report calling on policymakers and regulators to strengthen consumer protections in rooftop solar financing, warning that abusive practices threaten both homeowners and the industry’s long-term success. With the federal government scaling back oversight, CRL’s policy recommendations argue that states must take the lead in creating a fairer, more transparent market. “Now more than ever, state action will play a critical role to restore trust and ensure the solar industry’s long-term success,” said Andrew Kushner, senior policy counsel at CRL and co-author of the report. “We urge policymakers and regulators to enact reforms to combat abusive practices that could harm the very communities that stand to benefit most.”
