ยง 12-102. Purpose. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the
use of renewable energy technologies, such as solar energy, within the
state should be encouraged to the maximum extent possible; that
effective, well-designed, carefully manufactured and properly serviced
solar thermal systems are essential for the development of a viable
solar industry; that false claims, fraudulent sales practices, shoddy
workmanship, equipment failures and poor servicing of products would
inhibit the growth of the solar industry; that adequate warranty
protections should be made available to consumers in order to prevent
such deceptions; that certain warranty protections are presently made
available to consumers of products normally used for personal, family or
household purposes pursuant to the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act;
and that warranty protections should be made available to purchasers of
all solar energy products in this state, regardless of use.
