NC STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Charlotte homeowners are protected by the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-1.1), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce. The Act allows consumers to recover treble damages (three times actual damages) and attorney's fees — one of the strongest remedies available under any state consumer protection law. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule also applies to contracts signed at your home.

WHY SO MANY NC SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Charlotte's rapid suburban growth attracted national solar sales companies that used Duke Energy's relatively favorable net metering program as a selling point. The combination of dealer fees, tax credit complexity, and savings projections based on optimistic assumptions has left many Charlotte homeowners with agreements that cost more than expected. North Carolina's consumer protection laws provide remedies for homeowners who were misled.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — CHARLOTTE, NC

Can I cancel a solar contract in Charlotte, North Carolina?+

Yes, in many cases. North Carolina's UDTPA provides strong remedies for deceptive sales practices, including treble damages. A free case review can identify whether misrepresentation, TILA violations, or failure to provide required disclosures apply to your specific situation.

What is North Carolina's treble damages provision?+

Under North Carolina's UDTPA, if a court finds that a defendant willfully engaged in unfair or deceptive trade practices, it must award three times the actual damages. This is one of the strongest consumer protection remedies in the country and makes it economically viable for attorneys to take solar contract cases on contingency.

How do I know if I have a dealer fee in my solar loan?+

Request a copy of the loan agreement from your lender. Look for a line item called 'dealer fee,' 'origination fee,' or 'broker fee.' Compare the loan amount to the actual cost of the solar system. If the loan is 20–30% higher than the system cost, you likely have a dealer fee that may not have been disclosed.

What are my options if my Charlotte solar system is underperforming?+

Document the underperformance by comparing actual production data to the written projections in your contract. If the gap is significant and consistent, you may have a breach of contract claim. A free case review can identify whether legal cancellation or compensation is available.
