Our Mission: Bringing Transparency to the Renewable Energy Sector

SolarInfoPath was founded by Morgan Lee to serve as a specialized resource for homeowners, commercial developers, and investors navigating the increasingly complex world of solar energy. In a market often driven by aggressive sales tactics and intricate federal regulations, our mission is to provide clear, research-based information about solar energy policies and systems.

We do not sell solar panels, we do not generate leads for installation companies, and we maintain zero financial ties to the manufacturers we analyze. Our only product is objective, data-driven intelligence.

Why we Focus on Solar Policy and Consumer Research

After years of monitoring the renewable energy sector, we recognized a critical gap in public information. While many sites focus on “going green,” few provide the technical analysis required to understand the contracts, tax equity, and contractual and regulatory considerations in solar energy systems.

SolarInfoPath specializes in three core pillars:

  1. Consumer & Regulatory Research: We analyze publicly available court records and regulatory documents related to solar consumer disputes and industry practices.
  2. Project Finance & Tax Incentives: We analyze federal tax incentives, project financing structures, and publicly available policy frameworks for commercial solar systems.
  3. Regulatory Compliance: We analyze IRS Treasury guidance regarding the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), including domestic content bonuses and energy community adders.

Our Research Methodology (The “Path” to Accuracy)

Every article and report published on SolarInfoPath is the result of rigorous investigative research. Our work is research-based and focuses on interpreting publicly available information. Our methodology includes:

  • Public Court Records: We monitor active litigation and consumer fraud settlements to analyze publicly reported consumer complaints, regulatory findings, and financial products.
  • Federal & State Data: Our cost and payback analysis based on publicly available energy data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the U.S. Department of Energy, and the IRS.
  • Utility Rate Analysis: We track real-world electricity rate hikes from major providers such as AEP, Eversource, and PG&E to provide estimates based on publicly available energy and pricing data.

About the Founder: Morgan Lee

Morgan Lee is a solar legal analyst, policy researcher, and investigative finance writer with over 12+ years of experience studying U.S. renewable energy law, federal tax credit compliance, and the legal disputes that affect homeowners, developers, and commercial solar operators from coast to coast. Morgan founded SolarInfoPath to fill a critical gap in solar information: content that goes beyond marketing claims and gives readers the primary-source, legally grounded analysis they need to protect their money and their rights.

Morgan’s professional background is rooted in legal research and paralegal practice, with deep specialization in energy contract law, consumer protection litigation, IRS tax credit compliance, and U.S. regulatory frameworks governing solar energy. Where a general solar blog summarizes what other blogs have said, Morgan reads the original IRS notices, the actual CPUC orders, the FERC rulings, the state court filings, and the UCC lien records, then translates those primary sources into accurate, actionable content for real people dealing with real problems.

Across SolarInfoPath’s legal cluster, Morgan covers the full spectrum of solar litigation: personal injury and workers’ compensation lawsuits in Texas and Florida, breach of contract and fraud claims against solar companies, roof damage and property loss disputes, PACE loan predatory lending litigation, solar lease buyout conflicts blocking home sales, mechanic’s lien enforcement under Texas Property Code Section 53, HOA and permit denial appeals, solar easement law in Ohio, NEM 3.0 billing disputes before the California Supreme Court, insurance bad faith claims for hail and hurricane damage, and the consumer protection issues triggered by the Sunnova, SunPower, and Solar Mosaic bankruptcies of 2025–2026.

In the finance cluster, Morgan provides institutional-grade analysis on ITC recapture events under IRS Section 48 and 48E, MACRS bonus depreciation stacking strategy, solar tax equity partnership flip structures and dispute resolution, C-PACE commercial lien litigation, solar project receivership and Chapter 11 proceedings, sale-leaseback transactions under ASC 842, SREC broker selection and fraud prevention in New Jersey and Massachusetts, and the predatory lending issues that trap homeowners in bad solar loans.

Morgan’s policy cluster coverage tracks the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s July 4, 2026 begin-construction deadline and Foreign Entity of Concern restrictions, IRA bonus adder stacking rules, domestic content compliance under IRS Notice 2023-29, prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon Act enforcement, FERC Order 2023 interconnection reform, IRS audit defense for Section 48 credits, and battery storage ITC rules under Section 48E.

The commercial cluster covers EPC contract disputes and liquidated damages clauses, commercial solar PPA structures across Ohio, Illinois, and Tennessee, ERCOT interconnection agreement litigation in Texas, community solar subscription scams, agrivoltaic land lease negotiation, corporate virtual PPAs and FASB ASC 815 accounting treatment, solar project title insurance and M&A due diligence, school district solar PPA law under the Texas Education Code, employer solar benefit programs under ERISA, and commercial solar carport liability and ITC eligibility. State-by-state solar guides complete the coverage, from DTE Energy in Michigan and Duke Energy in the Carolinas to LG&E in Kentucky, PECO and PPL in Pennsylvania, and the Pacific Northwest utilities serving Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
