Introduction
Stacy Houston, a Centennial Hills homeowner, finds herself entangled in a protracted battle with solar company Titan Solar. The journey, which began in December 2021, has been marred by delays, frustrations, and a litany of issues, all under the relentless gaze of the media.
Media Scrutiny: The Double-Edged Sword
Houston attributes the recent delay in the solar installation to the intense scrutiny from the 8 News Now Investigators. The critical eye of the media has cast a spotlight on Titan Solar’s installation at Houston’s 3,500-square-foot home, generating a series of challenges.
Installation Woes: A Perpetual Cycle
Following the investigative report, Titan’s installation team, along with a representative from the Nevada State Contractors Board, convened to assess the situation. However, instead of progress, Houston claims she received a cascade of conflicting narratives every time someone inspected the premises.
Electrician Dilemma: Fallout from Publicity
A previous meeting in January saw Titan’s crew accompanied by an electrician to evaluate their work. However, the electrician, upon spotting the 8 News Now Investigators, refused to return, leaving Houston to seek a replacement for Titan’s incomplete work.
Permit Predicament: A Time-Consuming Process
Houston, at the January State Contractor Board meeting, defended herself against Titan’s accusation of causing delays. In the recent meeting, Titan allegedly requested Houston to sign a release and acknowledged the need for building permits, adding an additional layer of complexity and time to the process.
The Heating Hurdle: A Cold Reality
Amidst the chaos, Houston revealed that the heat in her home has been non-operational, affecting the part of the house where her children sleep. Troubles compounded as Titan pointed to delays caused by the permitting process before addressing the heating issue.
Titan’s Defense: Release Forms and Permits
While Titan contends that Houston is responsible for the project’s delays, she argues that the requirement to go through a permitting process, coupled with the need to fix the heating, presents a significant hindrance.
A Minute of Heat: A Temporary Victory
In a bizarre twist, Houston learned to reset her breakers during the recent meeting, finally restoring heat to the affected area. However, this momentary relief is overshadowed by the prolonged ordeal of the solar installation.
The Mess Unveiled: A Homeowner’s Plight
Houston expressed frustration, labeling the entire situation as “a mess.” Despite receiving partial reimbursement from Titan for installation-related costs and compensation for her monthly loan payments, the overall experience remains far from satisfactory.
Compensation and Progress: Light at the End?
Despite the challenges, Houston disclosed that she has received some monetary compensation from Titan, including half the cost of her HVAC compressor. The question remains whether this financial relief and progress in resolving the issues signal a turning point.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Conclusion: Navigating the Solar Storm
As Stacy Houston battles through the twists and turns of her solar installation saga, the unresolved issues and delays continue to pose challenges. The scrutiny from the media adds a layer of complexity to an already intricate situation.
