  I claimed that Solar Panel Tax Credit on my 2022 Federal tax return. I have since been notified that my tax credit on my tax return has been rejected. I now owe for the tax credit and interest in the amount of $40,000. I have sent the IRS the Tax Package that ION Provided. Still no go. The IRS requested confirmation from the installer that the solar panels they installed qualify for the tax credit. It can as simple as a letter stating that they do qualify.on company letterhead. ION has failed to respond to a request for that document.

  We are under contract with Ion Solar to have solar installed. We have gone through the entire planning process including site inspection, design, etc. The solar was supposed to have been installed a week and two days ago. When the installation team came, they said they could not install because we had a metal roof on half the house. Apparently this had been identified by the site inspection team (and we told them this fact), but they did not account for that during the design. Since the inspection team left without having installed the solar panels, Ion has not called us. When we try to reach their customer service, most of the time we are on hold for an hour or more. They have yet to call back on their behalf. We did finally reach a customer service person at one point, who looked into it and mentioned that they were trying to get a quote for reroofing the house, or at least the portion that is currently metal. That is something they should have identified during the site inspection, but did not and is an extra expense we have not anticipated. At this point, they are not calling us or getting in touch with us and we cannot reach their customer service for resolution.

  Ion Solar installed solar panels at my residence in September 2022. We had issues with leaks into our upstairs bedroom ceiling in December 2022 which at that time *** sent out a representative who couldn't find the leak at which time we asked for a supervisor to come out and they found the holes that the install team incorrectly put in our roof while installing.......they supposedly patched up the holes correctly. Everything was good until May 2024 when the ceiling in the same bedroom began leaking again and ION sent someone out and once again it was stated that they couldn't find leak and maybe it was AC condensation which is absurd since after every heavy rain the ceiling leaks......that is not AC condensation. The General Manager named ***** contacted me last week and stated he would personally come out Thursday(yesterday) to inspect and get a team out to fix roof. He no showed and failed to communicate with me when I reached out asking when *** was going to show up......no response. This is by far the most unprofessional company I have ever encountered in regards to backing up their products and the work their employees perform. My house is less than 5 years old with no prior issues with leaking of any sort until I allowed ION to install their solar panels. I want my roof completely fixed where I don't have any further leaks in the ceiling of this bedroom. I will attach pics from last week of the ceiling.

  My interaction with this company began easily enough with a door to door sales person. It was confusing as to what they were selling, but I deduced that it was solar panels. I stated that I was not interested. The guy ignored me and went on to tell me about PGE and my rates going up, etc, and he asked if he could DROP something off the next day with more information. I told him fine. That was 2 months ago and this company will not stop contacting me, calling me, and coming to my home. The information I was told would be dropped off, was not information at all. It was intended to be a complete sales pitch, which I was not interested in. I told the two gentleman that arrived the next day, and the one gentleman that came a week later, then the one that came two weeks later, and then the one that came into my yard while I was unloading groceries, that I was NOT interested. I took a business card and told them I would call if I ever changed my mind. In addition to these people continually coming to my home, I receive 1-2 phone calls a day from this company. DAILY. These calls are highly deceptive, the caller does NOT immediately identify themselves, they state that they work with PGE (my power company). This is not true. Today the caller wanted to discuss the smart meter they had put on my house!! Again, this is NOT true. I have asked them to stop calling, I have told them they are harassing me and I can not shake this company. STAGE 5 *******. I am at my wits end and considering filing a police report.

  I responded to an ad about installing solar power to my house. On May 30 I met with a representative from Zion Solar in ******** ******. I decided to proceed and a deal was made. Ion Solar inspected the house, determined it fit the criteria and installed the solar panels and got the house ready. Since then, there has been almost no communication with them though I have tried. I am not actually connected to electric company ***************** ***** and I cant get anyone from Ion even talk to me let alone move the project to completion. Im at my wits end. Can you help?

  ION Solar had a door to door recruiter that I spoke with about adding solar to our home. We set up an appointment with a sales rep. ** the time between then and my meeting with the sales rep I did some research and decided ION Solar wasn't the right choice for us.When the sales rep showed up I explained it to him and he agreed. Thanked me for my time and said he'd make sure to take us off their leads list. Since then I've been text twice and called twice. Each time I've asked to be removed from their call list and added to their do not call list. I do not believe they are keeping record of this since they continue to contact me. Sometimes multiple times in a day.

  We purchased extensive solar panels from ION less than a year ago. They allegedly were supposed to keep an eye on them and let us know if there are any problems (the panels are connected to wifi and ION has access). There are also several warranties, all of which are more than the 8 months or so we've had them. Meanwhile, we discovered the problem ourself, and have been trying to get a hold of someone to help. They are not responsive and bounce us around to different departments. They even gave us the phone number of an ex-employee at some point, as if they were supposed to help. Meanwhile they are costing us a fortune as we have to supplement with the power company during the hottest month of the year (in ********* where there have been record heat waves). They failed to do their job in monitoring our system. They failed to respond to us when we reached out for help. The product itself has failed less than a year after install. Unacceptable on all counts.

  July 10, 2024 however this also occurred approximately 1-2 weeks ago and at least one other time since we moved in at the end of March.A representative from *** comes to my door at dinner time. I have No Solicitation signs clearly posted. When I answer the door I ask them if they can read and point to the sign. They tell me they are not here to sell me anything.I want this to stop. All three times I have told the representative I will not conduct business door-to-door and I do not want anything. Also I ask to be removed from their list.My next step will be to contact ****** Sheriff and file a trespass complaint and the Colorado Attorney Generals offic.
