Case summary:

The sunrun solar robocalls class action lawsuit states that company along with Clean Energy Experts LLC, made automated, prerecorded calls to consumers. They placed calls for advertising their solar energy products.

The plaintiff Lynn Slovin claimed that the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The TCPA prohibits companies from making unwanted telemarketing calls without the consent of the consumer. The law also prohibits the use of automatic dialing systems and prerecorded messages.

The TCPA also set up the Do Not Call Registry. Consumers can ask for their number to be included on the Do Not Call Registry, and companies are prohibited from contacting numbers on the list under the law.

Further, the Sunrun class action lawsuit alleges that the robocalls were a nuisance that wasted valuable time, energy and phone data. Moreover, the lawsuit claims that “By making robocalls and ignoring the national Do-Not-Call registry, Sunrun caused the class members actual harm, including invasion of privacy.”

However, Sunrun Solar agreed to pay $5.5 million to settle the class action lawsuit against it. Under the terms of the class action settlement, Class Members can file a claim for a portion of the settlement amount which will be between $100 and $250.
