Bridgeport homeowners faced some of the most aggressive solar door-to-door sales campaigns in Connecticut, with dealers targeting the city's working-class neighborhoods with promises of dramatically lower Eversource bills. Many of these promises were false. Connecticut's CUTPA and the Solar Lease Act give Bridgeport homeowners strong legal tools to pursue cancellation and restitution.
Thousands of homeowners across Bridgeport 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.
Connecticut's CUTPA and Solar Lease Act provide strong protections for Bridgeport homeowners. CUTPA allows for attorney's fees and punitive damages in cases of willful deception — making it one of the most powerful consumer protection statutes in the Northeast for solar fraud cases. Connecticut's AG has specifically targeted door-to-door solar fraud in Fairfield County.
Bridgeport's high Eversource rates and working-class demographics made it a target for dealers who knew homeowners were genuinely struggling with energy costs. The combination of real financial pain and aggressive sales tactics created conditions for widespread misrepresentation.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
