A scam alert from SEC.

⚠️ Important Notice to Our Members

Southside Electric Cooperative (SEC) has been made aware of online advertisements — including one from a company called “Here Comes The Solar” — claiming that SEC is partnering with solar providers to offer “no upfront cost”solar panel or home battery installations.

🚫 These advertisements are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorized by Southside Electric Cooperative.

SEC is not offering any “2025 solar program,” nor do we have partnerships with third-party companies promoting such offers. These appear to be misleading marketing attempts using SEC’s name and service area without permission.

1️⃣ Do not share any personal or account information through the linked forms.
2️⃣ Report the ad to the platform (e.g., Facebook) as misleading or false.
3️⃣ Contact SEC directly at 1-800-552-2118 if you have questions about legitimate programs, rebates, or renewable energy options.
