A Fort Worth homeowner is dealing with faulty solar panels after the installation company went out of business. The homeowner had purchased the solar panels four years ago, and when problems arose, she was unable to contact the installer. The company, TriSmart, had apparently closed down, with employees let go before Christmas.
The homeowner found this information online, as she was unable to get in touch with the company despite numerous attempts. Further details on this situation and the impact on other solar customers are available from CBS Texas.
