SOLAR CONTRACT PROBLEMS
Many homeowners discover that the solar agreement they signed doesn't reflect what they were told — or contains terms they didn't fully understand at the time.
Solar contracts can be complex, lengthy, and difficult to understand. Homeowners often sign them during high-pressure sales presentations without fully reviewing the terms. Some later discover provisions they were never told about — or that what they were promised doesn't match what the contract actually says.
Misleading Sales Promises
Salespeople sometimes make representations about electricity savings, tax credits, system performance, or home value that are not supported by the contract or the facts. When what you were told doesn't match reality, that may be relevant to your situation.
Unaffordable or Unexpected Payments
Some homeowners find that their solar payments are higher than expected, have increased over time, or were never clearly disclosed during the sales process. Payment escalators built into loan or lease agreements can significantly increase costs over time.
Solar Loans
Solar loans often include dealer fees — amounts paid by the lender to the solar company that are rolled into your loan balance. These fees can significantly inflate the total cost of the system and are sometimes not clearly disclosed.
Solar Leases and PPAs
Lease and power purchase agreements (PPAs) can run 20–25 years and include escalating payments, transfer restrictions, and other provisions that affect your ability to sell or refinance your home.
System Not Performing as Promised
If your solar system is not producing the energy output that was represented during the sale, that may be relevant to your situation — particularly if the savings projections were based on those production estimates.
Solar Company Went Out of Business
When the solar company that installed your system closes, homeowners are often left without warranty support, monitoring, or a point of contact for problems. This situation may affect your available options.
Installation and Roof Problems
Improper installation can cause roof damage, leaks, or other property issues. If your installation caused damage or was not completed properly, that may be relevant to your review.
Tax Credit Misrepresentations
Some homeowners were told they would receive a specific federal tax credit — and that the credit would be applied to reduce their loan balance. If you didn't qualify for the credit or it wasn't applied as represented, that may be relevant.
