Fort Lauderdale and Broward County have seen significant solar growth, with FPL customers being targeted by national solar sales companies. Florida's HB 741 net metering changes have left many Fort Lauderdale homeowners with solar agreements that no longer deliver the promised savings. Florida law provides strong consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Fort Lauderdale 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 Lauderdale homeowners are protected by Florida's FDUTPA and the Florida Home Solicitation Sales Act. FDUTPA provides strong remedies for deceptive sales practices. Florida courts have applied FDUTPA to solar contract disputes involving misrepresented savings projections and undisclosed net metering changes.
Fort Lauderdale's coastal location and high FPL rates made solar an attractive proposition. Florida's HB 741 changes in 2023 reduced the value of solar exports significantly. Fort Lauderdale's coastal environment — salt air, hurricane risk, high humidity — also creates warranty and performance issues that were often not addressed in the sales process.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
