Sopris Solar Fraud Case: What Colorado Homeowners Need to Know
If you paid a deposit to Sopris Solar and your system was never installed, or was left unfinished, you’re not alone. Sopris Solar is now facing criminal charges after a statewide grand jury investigation into how the company handled customer payments.
What Happened?
Colorado law requires solar contractors to hold customer payments in trust for that specific customer’s project. Investigators allege Sopris Solar didn’t do that. Instead, money collected from one customer’s deposit was allegedly spent elsewhere, on other projects, other expenses, not the system the homeowner actually paid for. Two people connected to the company, Nathan Billmaier and Scot Birrell, are now facing criminal charges tied to this scheme.
Which Counties Were Affected?
The investigation has identified affected homeowners across Eagle, Park, Prowers, San Miguel, Summit, and Weld counties. If you live in one of these areas and paid Sopris Solar a deposit for a system that was delayed, incomplete, or never started, your situation may be part of what investigators are already looking into.
