“Attention DPU customers, please be advised that there are salesman in many area neighborhoods who are representing themselves as affiliated with DPU, and are trying to sell solar panels.  DPU has not contracted with any outside source for the promotion of solar power.  DPU believes that solar power is a very important renewable energy source, and is proud that a component of the energy purchased by DPU is generated by solar.  We advise all customers to fully investigate any solar company before purchasing, and if there are any questions, please call our electric division at (803) 268-4204.  DPU, your hometown utility source since 1898.”
