Solar contract cancellation attorneys serving Billings, MT

⚠ SOLAR CONTRACT TRAP — BILLINGS, MT

CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN BILLINGS, MT

Billings homeowners were targeted by out-of-state solar dealers during Montana's emerging clean energy market. Montana's extreme winter conditions and relatively low NorthWestern Energy rates make the economics of solar particularly challenging — and the savings projections particularly susceptible to misrepresentation. Montana's Consumer Protection Act and the FTC Cooling-Off Rule provide legal remedies.

THE BILLINGS SOLAR PROBLEM

Thousands of homeowners across Billings signed solar contracts after being promised dramatic savings — only to find themselves locked into agreements with escalating payments, underperforming systems, and no clear exit. If you are one of them, you have legal options.

TOP COMPLAINTS WE SEE IN BILLINGS

!System produces 45% less than projected — Montana's winter production losses not disclosed

!Dealer used summer production data to project annual savings — completely misleading

!Federal tax credit misrepresented as automatic loan balance reduction

!GoodLeap loan disbursed before system passed NorthWestern Energy interconnection

!Door-to-door sales team used high-pressure tactics and false urgency

!Dealer promised NorthWestern Energy bill would drop to zero — economics don't support this

MT STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Montana's Consumer Protection Act prohibits deceptive acts in commerce, including misrepresentation of solar savings, government incentives, and system performance. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule applies to all door-to-door solar sales. Montana's extreme winter conditions — with snow cover, low sun angles, and temperatures that affect panel efficiency — make production misrepresentation particularly egregious in Billings cases.

SOLAR COMPANIES WE FIGHT IN BILLINGS

GoodLeap

GoodLeap financed many Billings-area installations. Complaints include loan disbursement before NorthWestern Energy interconnection approval and misrepresentation of the federal ITC.

Freedom Forever

Freedom Forever has expanded into the Billings market. Complaints focus on savings projections that dramatically overstated production in Montana's extreme winter climate.

Sunrun

Sunrun has expanded into the Billings market. Complaints focus on PPA escalator clauses not disclosed at signing and savings projections that did not account for Montana's winter production losses.

WHY SO MANY MT SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Billings's strong summer sun exposure made it look attractive in dealer sales tools. Dealers routinely failed to disclose that Montana's winters would reduce annual production dramatically, and that NorthWestern Energy's relatively low rates mean the payback period is much longer than in high-rate states.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — BILLINGS, MT

My Billings solar system barely produces anything in winter — is that normal?+

Montana's winter production losses are among the most severe in the country. A properly disclosed savings projection would have accounted for months of reduced production due to snow cover and low sun angles. If your dealer provided annual averages without disclosing this, that constitutes misrepresentation.

Does solar make economic sense in Billings given Montana's climate and rates?+

For many Billings homeowners, the economics are very challenging. If your dealer promised savings that were based on summer production data or electricity rates higher than what NorthWestern Energy actually charges, that constitutes misrepresentation under Montana's Consumer Protection Act.

Can I cancel my solar contract in Montana if my dealer used false urgency tactics?+

Yes. High-pressure sales tactics combined with misrepresentation of savings or production are actionable under Montana's Consumer Protection Act. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule also applies to all door-to-door solar sales.
