Cincinnati homeowners were targeted by solar sales companies despite Ohio's significant cloud cover. Duke Energy Ohio customers were promised savings that often did not materialize. Ohio law provides consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Cincinnati 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.
Cincinnati homeowners are protected by the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (O.R.C. § 1345.02), which provides for actual damages, treble damages for knowing violations, and attorney's fees.
Ohio's significant cloud cover means solar systems produce substantially less than in sunnier states. Solar sales companies often used national average sunshine data in their projections, resulting in systems that underperform relative to what was promised.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
