Columbus homeowners were targeted by solar sales companies despite Ohio's significant cloud cover. AEP Ohio customers were promised savings that often did not materialize. Ohio law provides consumer protection remedies for homeowners who were misled.
Thousands of homeowners across Columbus 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.
Columbus homeowners are protected by the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (O.R.C. § 1345.02), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in consumer transactions. The Act provides for actual damages, treble damages for knowing violations, and attorney's fees.
Ohio is one of the cloudiest states in the US, with only about 178 sunny days per year. Solar sales companies often used national average sunshine data in their projections, resulting in systems that produce significantly less than promised.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
