Fort Collins homeowners served by Fort Collins Utilities were targeted by solar sales companies. Colorado's strong sunshine and the federal tax credit made the savings pitch compelling — but many Fort Collins homeowners are now paying more than expected. Colorado law provides consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Fort Collins 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.
Fort Collins homeowners are protected by the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-105), which prohibits deceptive trade practices and provides for actual damages, treble damages for knowing violations, and attorney's fees.
Fort Collins's environmentally-conscious homeowner base made it an attractive solar market. Colorado's significant hail risk creates warranty and performance issues that were often not disclosed. Fort Collins Utilities' net metering program also has limitations that were rarely explained to homeowners.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
