Can I actually cancel my solar contract?

In most cases, yes. Solar contracts frequently contain violations of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the FTC cooling-off rule, state consumer protection statutes, and misrepresentation clauses. Our attorneys have found valid cancellation pathways in over 85% of contracts reviewed.

What does solar contract cancellation cost?

Your initial contract review is completely free. If we take your case, we work on a contingency or flat-fee basis — meaning you don't pay us unless we succeed.

How long does it take to cancel a solar contract?

Most cases are resolved in 30 to 90 days. Some straightforward cases close in as little as 2 weeks. We handle all negotiations and paperwork.

What if my solar company went bankrupt?

This is one of the strongest cases we handle. When a solar company goes bankrupt, it often triggers contract voidability clauses. We have helped dozens of homeowners in this exact situation walk away from their contracts entirely.
