THE DES MOINES SOLAR PROBLEM

Thousands of homeowners across Des Moines 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.

TOP COMPLAINTS WE SEE IN DES MOINES

!Moxie Solar (closed 2023) sold Des Moines contracts — systems abandoned, payments continue

!Encor Solar (closed 2022) left Des Moines homeowners without service or warranty

!MidAmerican Energy interconnection delays were never disclosed by dealer

!Federal tax credit misrepresented as automatic loan balance reduction

!System produces 35% less than projected — Iowa's winter shading not disclosed

!GoodLeap loan disbursed before system passed MidAmerican interconnection

IA STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Iowa's Consumer Fraud Act prohibits deceptive acts in commerce, including misrepresentation of solar savings, government incentives, and system performance. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule applies to all door-to-door solar sales. Iowa's AG has received solar fraud complaints from the Des Moines area, particularly regarding Moxie Solar and Encor Solar's operations. Iowa's net metering policies have been under legislative pressure, making original savings projections increasingly inaccurate.

SOLAR COMPANIES WE FIGHT IN DES MOINES

Moxie Solar (Closed 2023)

Moxie Solar was highly active in the Des Moines metro before its 2023 closure. Homeowners report incomplete installations and GoodLeap loans with no recourse.

Encor Solar (Closed 2022)

Encor Solar closed in 2022, leaving Des Moines customers without warranty coverage or service providers.

GoodLeap

GoodLeap financed many Des Moines-area installations for defunct dealers. As the lender for dealers that engaged in deceptive practices, GoodLeap may bear liability under Iowa's Consumer Fraud Act.

WHY SO MANY IA SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Des Moines's rising MidAmerican Energy rates and Iowa's clean energy goals made solar an attractive proposition. Dealers frequently failed to disclose Iowa's significant winter production losses and the uncertainty around Iowa's net metering policies.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — DES MOINES, IA

What solar companies went out of business in Des Moines?+

Moxie Solar (closed 2023) and Encor Solar (closed 2022) were both active in the Des Moines area. If either sold your system, your lender (GoodLeap, Mosaic) may be liable under Iowa's Consumer Fraud Act.

Iowa's net metering policies changed after I signed — can I cancel?+

Yes. If your dealer's savings projections were based on net metering rates that have since changed, and the dealer did not disclose that these rates were subject to change, that constitutes misrepresentation under Iowa's Consumer Fraud Act.

My Des Moines solar system barely produces anything in winter — is that normal?+

Iowa's winter production losses are significant and should have been disclosed in your savings projections. If your dealer provided annual averages without disclosing the dramatic seasonal variation, that constitutes misrepresentation.
