BOSTON – A New Bedford-based solar-energy company has been ordered to pay more than $125,000 in restitution and penalties for violating the state’s prevailing wage and hindrance laws, Attorney General Maura Healey announced last week.
Healey’s office ordered Cavallo-Cavallo Inc., doing business as Beaumont Solar Co., and owner Phillip V. Cavallo to pay nearly $83,000 in restitution and $42,500 in penalties, including a $10,000 penalty for hindrance of the investigation. The violations were uncovered in a 2013 state investigation and relate to solar-panel installations performed on public schools in Melrose, New Bedford and Newton. •
