⚠ SOLAR CONTRACT TRAP — BURLINGTON, VT

CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN BURLINGTON, VT

Burlington homeowners embraced solar as part of Vermont's clean energy identity — but many were misled about what they were actually signing. Vermont has some of the most favorable net metering policies in the country, but dealers frequently used these policies to inflate savings projections far beyond what homeowners would actually receive. Vermont's Consumer Fraud Act gives Burlington homeowners strong legal tools to pursue cancellation.

VT STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Vermont's Consumer Fraud Act (9 V.S.A. § 2453) prohibits unfair or deceptive acts in commerce, including misrepresentation of solar savings, net metering benefits, and system performance. Vermont's AG has been active in pursuing solar fraud cases. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule applies to all door-to-door solar sales. Vermont's strong net metering policies are frequently misrepresented by dealers to inflate projected savings.

WHY SO MANY VT SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Burlington's strong environmental values and Green Mountain Power's relatively high rates made solar an easy sell. Dealers exploited Vermont's favorable net metering policies to generate inflated savings projections, often failing to disclose that these policies could change — as they have in many other states.
