⚠ SOLAR CONTRACT TRAP — FRESNO, CA

CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN FRESNO, CA

Fresno has one of the highest solar adoption rates in California's Central Valley, driven by PG&E's high electricity rates and abundant sunshine. But NEM 3.0 changes and aggressive dealer fees have left many Fresno homeowners with solar agreements that cost more than their old PG&E bill. California law provides the strongest consumer protection remedies in the country.

THE FRESNO SOLAR PROBLEM

Thousands of homeowners across Fresno 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 FRESNO

!NEM 3.0 changes eliminated promised PG&E savings
!Dealer fees of 25–35% hidden in loan balance
!Payment higher than pre-solar PG&E bill

CA STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Fresno homeowners benefit from California's comprehensive consumer protection framework: the CLRA, UCL, and Home Solicitation Sales Act. Under California law, a contract obtained through material misrepresentation — including failure to disclose NEM 3.0 changes — can be rescinded. Attorney's fees are recoverable under the CLRA, making it economically viable for attorneys to take these cases on contingency.

WHY SO MANY CA SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Fresno's high PG&E rates and abundant sunshine made solar an easy sell. But NEM 3.0 changes in April 2023 reduced export credits by up to 75%, making pre-NEM 3.0 savings projections inaccurate. Central Valley heat also reduces panel efficiency in summer — a fact rarely disclosed during the sales process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — FRESNO, CA

How did NEM 3.0 affect my Fresno solar contract?+
NEM 3.0, effective April 2023, reduced the credit PG&E pays for excess solar production by up to 75%. If your savings projections were based on NEM 2.0 rates, those projections are now materially inaccurate. This is one of the strongest grounds for contract challenges in Fresno right now.
Can I cancel a solar contract in Fresno, California?+
Yes. California's CLRA and UCL provide strong remedies for deceptive sales practices. A free case review can identify whether misrepresentation, TILA violations, or failure to provide required disclosures apply to your specific situation.
Does Central Valley heat affect solar performance in Fresno?+
Yes. Solar panels lose efficiency at high temperatures. Fresno regularly exceeds 40°C in summer, which can reduce output by 10–15%. If this was not disclosed in your proposal, it may be relevant to a performance claim.
What should I do if my Fresno solar company went out of business?+
Contact the financing company directly. File complaints with the California AG, CPUC, and CFPB. A contract review can identify all parties who may have liability.
