HOW THE SOLAR CONTRACT REVIEW PROCESS WORKS

Whether you signed a solar lease, loan, or power purchase agreement (PPA), our process is designed to help you explore potential options for addressing your solar contract — even if the panels are already installed. SCRC works with Consumer Advocacy Law Group, whose attorneys evaluate potential consumer protection claims involving solar contracts, financing, sales representations, and related issues under applicable law.

OUR SOLAR CONTRACT REVIEW AND RESOLUTION STEPS

Many homeowners feel trapped by solar contracts that did not turn out as expected. You may have options.

Free Solar Contract Intake Review
Tell Us About Your Solar Contract The first step is a free, no-obligation intake review for homeowners across the United States. When you call us or submit a form, our intake team will ask for basic information about your solar contract and your experience with the solar provider or lender. Our intake team may ask about:
  • Your contract type (lease, loan, or PPA)
  • Pricing, payment terms, and savings representations you recall receiving
  • Installation or system-performance concerns
  • Sales, financing, or disclosure issues you experienced
  • Information relevant to determining whether your matter meets preliminary intake criteria for referral to an attorney
Based on the information you provide, we can let you know whether your matter meets our preliminary intake criteria for referral to an attorney for further review.

Contract Evaluation by Attorneys
Attorney Review Through Consumer Advocacy Law Group If your matter meets preliminary intake criteria, it may be referred to Consumer Advocacy Law Group for attorney review. The law firm will independently determine whether representation is appropriate. The attorneys evaluate issues that may include:
  • Contract misrepresentation claims
  • Failure to disclose fees and escalators
  • Promised savings that never materialized
  • Installation and performance issues after storms
  • Analyzing your contract and financing terms
  • Identifying applicable legal issues and available remedies
  • Evaluating potential legal strategies and available remedies, including whether contract cancellation may be appropriate
Our legal partner handles consumer protection matters involving solar contract disputes.

Customized Legal Strategy
Tailored Plan Based on Your Situation If you become a client of the law firm, your attorney will evaluate the available options and recommend a strategy based on your circumstances. Depending on the matter, that strategy may include:
  • Appropriate notices or demands under applicable state or federal law
  • Challenges involving potentially deceptive, unfair, or unconscionable conduct
  • Negotiations with solar providers or lenders
  • Litigation or other legal remedies when appropriate
Your attorney will explain the recommended approach, applicable fees and costs, and what you can reasonably expect from the process.

Resolution and Next Steps
Working Toward the Best Available Outcome The goal is to pursue an appropriate resolution based on your contract, the facts, applicable law, and the response of the solar provider or lender. Depending on the circumstances, potential outcomes may include contract modification, negotiated payment relief, contract termination, equipment-related arrangements, or other available remedies. No particular outcome can be guaranteed.
