California has one of the biggest solar markets in the country, and San Diego is one of the places where homeowners are most likely to care deeply about power costs, utility frustration, and solar economics. SDG&E has some of the highest electricity rates in the nation -- which made solar look like an obvious win. If your solar agreement feels like a mistake, panic is understandable. But panic is not the plan.
Why San Diego Homeowners Start Looking for Exit Options
Usually because one or more of these happened: the savings were oversold, the financing feels heavier than expected, the system is not giving the relief the homeowner counted on, or the homeowner feels boxed in by a long contract. California's NEM 3.0 policy change in 2023 also blindsided thousands of homeowners whose savings projections were based on the old net metering rules.
💡 California's NEM 3.0 (Net Energy Metering 3.0) dramatically reduced the credit rate for excess solar production. If your salesperson quoted savings based on NEM 2.0 rates, your actual savings may be 50-75% lower than projected. This may constitute a material misrepresentation under California law.

California-Specific Protections
California has some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country. The California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and the Unfair Competition Law (UCL) both apply to solar sales. California also has a 3-day right of rescission for home solicitation sales under Civil Code Section 1689.5. If you were not given proper written notice of this right, the rescission window may still be open.
The Best First Move
Not guessing. Not venting. Not freezing. The best first move is understanding what actually happened: what was said, what was signed, what is happening now, and what type of remedy might fit the situation. A contract review can answer all four of those questions and give you a clear picture of your options before you make any moves.
⚠ California has a 4-year statute of limitations for CLRA claims and a 3-year limit for UCL claims. The clock may run from when you discovered or should have discovered the problem. Do not wait.
