<p>WARNING: SCAMMERS are posing as the Florida Solar Energy Center. FSEC<sup>®</sup> has received several reports from consumers that they are receiving multiple calls (from different phone numbers) from a telemarketer posing to be the Florida Solar Energy Center. In some cases, they are even being referred to the FSEC website. FSEC is a research institute of the University of Central Florida (UCF). <strong>FSEC will not call consumers to offer help with an electric bill, offer a free estimate, or solicit information for a purchase.</strong></p>
<p>UCF recommends you file a complaint at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC): <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-calls-and-texts">https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-calls-and-texts</a>.</p>

<p>Solar contractors must be licensed to do business in the state. You can check licenses at: <a href="http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/">http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/</a></p>
