What they do
Also marketed as Overlevel. Ozark, Missouri solar and battery-storage contractor (LLC formed Oct. 2016; does business as Solar Solutions of America). Its site markets 'income-generating energy infrastructure' to high-net-worth individuals and commercial investors. 'Overlevel' is a tax-credit / investor-tax-mitigation brand reported to be marketing for this firm (public directories connect the two through common leadership, but no entity filing was found confirming it); overlevel.com returned an error when retrieved (2026-10-17), so no Overlevel offering terms could be reviewed. BBB lists the business as accredited with an A+ rating. Two civil matters name the firm and its owner (Jerry Fussell, as named on BBB, the court docket and the article): a 2025 federal docket in D. Idaho (removed from Idaho state court; nature of suit listed as 'Other Fraud'; motion to compel arbitration briefed Jan. 2026) and an October 2020 Missouri suit by Sun Solar LLC, described in Springfield Business Journal (May 23, 2022). Both are allegations, not findings; see item L1 for the docket facts and attribution. Archived pages from 2024-2026 used 'guaranteed' wording (red flag RF2; see the flag for quotes and capture dates). No archived zero-interest loan terms or battery price lists were found.
