\nLouisville is moving towards the goal of using 100% of clean energy by 2040 one solar panel at a time.<\/p>\n

Friday, a solar system was installed on a home in Louisville as part of the “Solar Over Louisville” campaign that the Louisville Metro Government and the Louisville Sustainability Council have launched.<\/p>\n

The city has partnered with Solar Energy Solutions to offer incentives for homeowners to go solar.<\/p>\n

The company has been vetted, the city says, but it has been found that work done by at least one other company isn’t so bright.<\/p>\n

FOCUS found that at least one company started work in the Metro and in other parts of Kentucky without pulling the proper permits first.<\/p>\n

The Kentucky Attorney General’s Office, as well as the AGs in Tennessee and Georgia, are investigating dozens of customer complaints.<\/p>\n

Complaints include panels on the roof for months, but no power generation because the systems have not passed inspection and are therefore not up and running.<\/p>\n

At the same time, customers are paying monthly bills while still paying electric bills.<\/p>\n

Problems exist in Louisville as well, where corrective actions have been issued to at least 30 properties.<\/p>\n

Louisville’s lofty goal is that energy generation here will be 100% clean energy within the next 20-years. <\/p>\n

Another goal is to have half the homes in the Metro use solar by 2050.<\/p>\n

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers consumer advice<\/a> and more things you might consider when looking to invest in solar power.<\/p>\n

Counties participating in the Solar Over Louisville campaign include:<\/p>\n

Kentucky: Louisville\/Jefferson County, Oldham County, Shelby County, Spencer County, Bullitt County, Trimble County, Henry County, Hardin County, Meade County, Nelson County<\/p>\n

Indiana: Floyd County, Clark County, Harrison County, Washington County, Scott County<\/p>\n

The campaign is offering solar energy products at a discount.<\/p>\n

The deadline to sign up is June 30th.
