Grand Rapids homeowners served by Consumers Energy were targeted by solar sales companies despite Michigan's significant cloud cover. Michigan's consumer protection laws provide remedies for homeowners who were misled about their solar contracts.
Thousands of homeowners across Grand Rapids 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.
Grand Rapids homeowners are protected by the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCL 445.903), which provides for actual damages, up to three times actual damages for willful violations, and attorney's fees.
Grand Rapids's significant cloud cover, especially in winter, means solar systems produce substantially less than in sunnier states. Solar sales companies often used optimistic projections that did not reflect Grand Rapids's actual weather patterns.
