Hawaii homeowners are being targeted by dishonest solar salespeople going door to door, and the state is telling people not to fall for it.

• Salespeople are knocking on doors and lying to get contracts signed.
• One line they use: your current solar contractor has gone out of business.
• Another: the state hands out free solar and energy systems. It does not.
• Anyone approached at the door should check the claims before signing anything.

Outlook: The warnings are likely to continue as long as the door-to-door pitches keep spreading across the islands.
