“Would Not Recommend — Unresolved Damage and NDA Demands”
We contracted Freedom Solar in 2021 for solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall. Installation was smooth, but after a 2023 hailstorm damaged our roof, Freedom Solar demanded $7,000 upfront to remove and reinstall the panels and wouldn’t schedule reinstallation until 30 days after roof completion — even though their schedule was already over a month out.
After repeated delays and missed appointments, the panels were reinstalled, but subcontractors left metal anchors embedded in our new roof. When we requested removal, a subcontractor falsely blamed our roofer and threatened legal action. Photos proved this false, and the anchors were removed.
However, the area was poorly repaired. During a storm, water leaked into our attic and bathroom ceiling. Our licensed roofer confirmed the leak was caused by improper sealing where the anchors had been, which voided our roof warranty.
Freedom Solar denied responsibility. Their insurance rep claimed the leak was due to “condensation” inside the bathroom vent, ignoring clear evidence that water entered through damaged shingles and traveled down the outside of the exhaust pipe — eventually leaking through the bathroom vent grill. Freedom Solar argued, incorrectly, that water could only come through the inside of the pipe.
We escalated to Freedom Solar’s executive leadership with full documentation, but they refused to take responsibility and offered only $950 for repairs — conditional on signing an agreement to:
• Delete all negative reviews
• Never criticize them publicly (even indirectly)
• Extend this to any future occupant of our home
• Keep the agreement confidential
We declined. This was an attempt to silence us, not a resolution.
We will report this to the Texas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division, as this conduct reflects the harm Texas Senate Bill 1036 aims to prevent — using legal intimidation instead of honest resolution.
