Maverick County Real Property Owners with Solar Panel Issues Meet
By: Victoria Martinez, Eagle Pass Business Journal, Inc., Copyright 2025
A group of 67 Maverick County, Texas real property owners who had solar panels installed on their homes met on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at a local business office to hear a presentation on legal remedies available to them for alleged deceptive trade practices or fraudulent misrepresentations made to them by local and out of town solar panel installation companies, announced Enriqueta Diaz, a Maverick County community advocate.
Diaz noted that over 527 Maverick County property owners have had solar panels sold to them and/or installed at their homes by local and out of town companies through deceptive trade practices and/or fraudulent misrepresentations.
Diaz noted that local property owners were represented that they would save on their energy costs if they purchased the solar panels and had them installed on their homes. The solar panel companies assisted local property owners to apply for and receive financial credit or funding for the cost of the solar panels and their installations. Many or most of the solar panel installations were installed by unlicensed electricians or technicians and have failed to properly work as represented to them.
Most of the property owners executed written agreements either in writing or on a laptop computer provided by sales representatives of the solar panel companies and agreed to have a lien or deed of trust placed on their real properties in exchange for financing the purchase and installation of the solar panels on their homes. Since most of the solar panel installations did not meet or fulfill the promises made to the homeowners concerning the energy savings represented to them, the homeowners either stopped paying the debt owed on the solar panels or defaulted on their loans, causing the financial companies to foreclose or commence foreclosure proceedings against the real properties—mostly owned by senior citizens or low to moderate income homeowners.
Diaz has found legal representatives who specialize in representing real property owners who had solar panels installed on their homes through deceptive trade practices or fraudulent misrepresentations.
Any Maverick County real property owner who had solar panels installed on their homes or purchased them for their homes and did not work as represented to them, may contact Ms. Enriqueta Diaz at (830) 213-5694 for more information on how to contact legal representatives to assist them with their solar panel issues. Diaz is not a licensed attorney nor is she representing herself as a representative of any legal firm, but rather is simply providing a community service to the hundreds of local real property owners who may have an issue with their solar panel installation or agreement.
