Payments that keep climbing
Many solar agreements include a 2–4% annual escalator. Over a 20–25 year term, that can push a payment far above what was pitched at the door — sometimes close to double by the final years.
Solar contract review · Nationwide
Stuck in a solar contract you never should have signed?
Solar Exit Group gathers your documents, builds your case file, and hands it to consumer-protection attorneys who fight to cancel the contract and clear the lien.
- No upfront cost to see if you qualify
- Nationwide
- Attorney-backed through independent partner firms
Does this sound familiar?
The pitch was 20 minutes. The contract is 25 years.
These are the patterns we see over and over in homeowner intakes. If more than one describes your situation, your file is worth a look.
Locked in for 20–25 years
Early-termination and buyout figures are often far larger than homeowners expect, and mandatory arbitration clauses can quietly limit how disputes get resolved.
A UCC lien on your property
A UCC-1 fixture filing tied to the equipment can surface in title work and stall a sale or refinance until it is released or resolved.
The savings never showed up
The production estimate was the sales pitch. If the system underproduces — or was never fully commissioned or interconnected — your utility bill plus the solar payment can exceed what you paid before.
You were told one thing, the contract said another
Verbal promises about free panels, government programs, tax credits, roof warranties or “no payment ever again” frequently appear nowhere in the signed documents.
The installer vanished — the bills didn’t
Installers close, rebrand, or stop answering service calls. The finance company keeps drafting your payment anyway, and no one takes responsibility for the equipment.
Why homeowners get stuck
You are not fighting a solar panel. You are fighting paperwork.
The people who sold you the system are usually gone. What remains is a financing agreement, a lien, a production estimate nobody stands behind, and a service line that never picks up.
That paperwork is also where the leverage is. Escalator math, missing disclosures, unmet production promises, and the gap between what the rep said and what the contract says are all documentable — and documentation is what attorneys need before they can do anything.
How it works
Four steps. We do the heavy lifting.
Document gathering and case-file preparation are what Solar Exit Group actually does — and it is the part most homeowners cannot do alone.
-
Free case review
We listen to what happened, ask what was promised versus what was signed, and tell you straight whether there looks to be something worth pursuing. No cost, no obligation.
-
Document gathering
We pull and organize your contract and any amendments, the financing agreement, UCC filings against the property, production/monitoring data, utility bills before and after, the interconnection paperwork, and sales communications — texts, emails, recordings, door-knock notes.
-
Case file preparation
We build a clean, indexed evidence file: timeline of the sale, side-by-side of promises versus contract terms, payment history and escalator math, production shortfall, and lien status. Attorneys can evaluate it fast because nothing is missing.
-
Attorney handoff
With your approval, your file goes to one of our partner consumer-protection law firms. They evaluate it, take it forward if they choose to, and represent you directly — Solar Exit Group is not your attorney and does not give legal advice.
What attorneys can pursue
Possible remedies — never promises.
Depending on your contract, your state, and the evidence, these are the outcomes partner attorneys may pursue on a homeowner’s behalf.
Contract cancellation or rescission
Depending on the facts and state law, attorneys may pursue unwinding the lease, PPA, or loan entirely so the obligation goes away.
UCC lien release
Where a fixture filing is clouding title, removal of the UCC lien can be part of what counsel pursues so a sale or refinance can close.
Credit repair
If the account was reported inaccurately or reported after a disputed transaction, attorneys can seek correction of the tradeline with the bureaus.
Monetary damages
Some state consumer-protection statutes — for example the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act — allow for multiplied (up to treble) damages plus attorney’s fees in qualifying cases.
Footnote: outcomes vary by contract, state, and facts. Nothing on this page is a promise or prediction of a specific result, and no result is guaranteed.
Do I qualify?
A quick self-check.
If any of these are true, it is worth 15 minutes to find out where you stand.
- You signed a residential solar lease, PPA, or solar loan — and you are the homeowner on the agreement.
- What the salesperson promised (savings, “free” panels, a government or utility program, a tax credit amount, a new roof) does not match what the contract actually says.
- Your system underproduces, was never properly commissioned or interconnected, or has sat offline while payments continued.
- Your payment has escalated, or the buyout/early-termination figure is far higher than you were led to believe.
- A UCC-1 filing tied to the solar equipment is showing up in title work on a sale or refinance.
Lenders we commonly see
Installers we commonly see
Claims are often still viable even if the installer went bankrupt or rebranded — but statutes of limitation apply, commonly around two to four years from signing in many states. Acting sooner matters. Naming a company here is not an allegation of wrongdoing by that company in your specific case.
Where the legal work happens
We build the file. Attorneys take it from there.
Solar Exit Group works with a network of independent consumer-protection law firms across the country. Once your case file is complete, we refer it to a firm licensed in your jurisdiction — and they decide whether to take the case and represent you directly.
Important
Solar Exit Group is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. We prepare documentation and connect homeowners with independent, licensed law firms. Any attorney-client relationship is formed directly with that firm — never with us.
Straight answers
Common questions
In some cases, yes. Where the sale involved material misrepresentations, missing or improperly executed disclosures, unauthorized signatures, or conduct that violates state consumer-protection or lending law, attorneys may pursue rescission or cancellation of the agreement. Whether that is available in your situation depends on your contract, your state, and the evidence — which is exactly what a case review and document file are for. Nothing here is a promise of a particular outcome.
Document gathering and case-file preparation typically move in a matter of weeks. What happens after handoff is up to the law firm and the other side: some matters resolve in weeks to a few months, while contested arbitration or litigation can take longer. Timelines vary case by case.
The case review is free, and there is no upfront cost for Solar Exit Group to review your situation and tell you what documents matter. Fee arrangements for legal representation and document preparation vary from case to case. Speak to a Solar Exit Consultant for more information.
No — do not simply stop paying. Missing payments can hurt your credit and can weaken your position. Talk to a licensed attorney about your specific agreement before changing anything about how you pay. Solar Exit Group cannot give you legal advice on that question.
Ideally: the signed contract and any amendments, the financing or lease agreement, the sales proposal or production estimate, utility bills from before and after installation, monitoring or production data, your interconnection and permit paperwork, and any texts, emails, or recordings from the sales rep. If you are missing pieces, that is normal — part of what we do is track down records, including UCC filings and permit data.
In their words
Homeowners who got out.
Verified reviews from clients of our parent company, Solar Exit Partners. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee similar outcomes.
“Great and easy to work with. I didn’t have the funds right away, but they worked with me on a payment plan with just a small amount down. Corey was amazing, very helpful throughout the entire process, and even took the time to wish me a happy birthday. Thank you, Solar Exit Partners and Corey, for helping me find the light in what felt like a nightmare of a solar contract.”
“We inherited a house with a solar lease and couldn’t sell the property because no buyers would take on the contract. Solar Exit Partners helped us resolve the lease, allowing us to finally sell. They made an impossible situation possible.”
“Solar contracts are so confusing with all the legal jargon. The team broke everything down so we could actually understand what we were dealing with. They gave us realistic expectations and hit every milestone they promised. Highly recommend!”
