Bill to Improve Consumer Protections in Energy Sales Passes Committee

SB25-299 would ensure consumer protection for Coloradans entering into contracts for solar products

DENVER, CO – A bill sponsored by Senator Katie Wallace, D-Longmont, to protect consumers who enter into contracts for solar energy products passed the Senate Transportation and Energy Committee today. 

“Right now, consumers can easily be ripped off when entering contracts for solar energy products – which are key to reaching Colorado’s carbon reduction goals,” Wallace said. “In order to reach these goals and effectively address the climate crisis, we must take proactive steps to make clean energy products more accessible and protect consumers in the process.”

SB25-299 would establish procedures that solar sales companies must follow when engaging with consumers. It would require standardized disclosure, contracting, sales material, warranty, and enforcement requirements to ensure Colorado consumers have the best information available about investing in a residential clean energy system. It would apply to each solar electric system or residential battery energy storage system agreement entered into on or after December 31, 2025.

The bill now moves to the Senate floor for further consideration. Track its progress HERE.
