SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Ken Paxton announced a lawsuit Thursday against San Antonio-based CAM Solar Inc., accusing the company of using fraudulent and deceptive practices in the sale of solar panel systems across Texas.

The lawsuit follows an investigation launched in April 2026 into CAM Solar and several other solar companies after the Office of the Attorney General received more than 100 consumer complaints. According to the attorney general’s office, complaints included allegations involving misleading promises about energy savings, defective or nonfunctioning systems, improper installations, undisclosed fees, and inaccurate information regarding tax-credit eligibility.

State investigators also cited reports of continued financing obligations for customers whose systems allegedly failed to operate as promised.

In one complaint referenced by the attorney general’s office, solar panels reportedly detached from a consumer’s roof less than a year after installation, causing damage to the homeowner’s property and a neighboring property.

The lawsuit alleges CAM Solar violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misleading consumers through deceptive marketing practices and failing to provide promised products and services.

“This solar panel company lied to and deceived Texans with its fraudulent and deceptive sales tactics. My office will ensure justice is served,” Paxton said in a statement. “Far too many Texans have been misled into purchasing expensive and complex solar systems under the guise of ‘green energy.’ That ends now. I will aggressively pursue any bad actor in the solar panel industry that attempts to cheat Texans.”

The attorney general’s office said the lawsuit seeks to stop CAM Solar’s business practices, obtain restitution for affected consumers, and secure civil penalties under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

State officials said the investigation into additional solar panel companies remains ongoing and that further enforcement actions could follow.
