Free guides for homeowners stuck in solar leases, loans, and PPAs. Learn your options by contract type, by situation, and by state — then submit your information for a free intake.
If you signed a solar lease, loan, or PPA and the math is no longer working — bills higher than promised, panels not producing, contract blocking a home sale, installer out of business, or sales process that did not match the paperwork — you are not the only one. The resources below are organized to help you find the situation that matches yours, learn what a qualified law firm may review, and decide whether to submit your information for a free intake.
Important: SCRC is not a law firm. We are a marketing and intake service that connects homeowners with Consumer Advocacy Law Group, the qualified law firm we work with. Submitting your information does not create an attorney-client relationship.
