Consumer Protection

GOGLA Consumer Protection Code

GOGLA is leading the initiative to develop a Consumer Protection Code for the off-grid solar sector with the aim of safeguarding impacts and respecting the rights of consumers. We believe that widespread industry action on consumer protection is required to mitigate sector risks and accelerate market growth. In this Consumer Protection Hub you will find more about the code, including how to make a Commitment or Endorsement, and tools and resources for companies to measure and monitor their own performance. 

Learn how your company can commit to the CP Code.
