TEXAS — Families across Texas say a Houston-based solar energy company is preying upon the elderly and disabled, getting them to sign long-term payment plans for solar panels they can’t afford.
The stories the families are telling share striking similarities .
“They go door to door selling to people who are on their deathbeds,” said Terry Blythe.
Houston-based solar energy company, Sunnova, they say, misled their elderly and disabled relatives.
“He had been being treated for dementia,” said Samantha Crowther, of her father.
“She could not see. She could not hear well,” said Kimberly Guidry-Williams of her mother.
“He was starting to have Alzheimer’s,” said Ben Figueroa of his brother.
“Completely disabled, couldn’t walk, he couldn’t really even sign his name,” said Blythe of her father.
Their family members, they say, were put on 25-year payment plans for solar panels they couldn’t afford and would most likely never live to pay off.
