TX STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Texas homeowners have strong protections under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA), Texas Business & Commerce Code § 17.46. The DTPA prohibits false, misleading, or deceptive acts in connection with any consumer transaction — including solar sales. Remedies include actual damages, up to three times actual damages for knowing violations, attorney's fees, and injunctive relief. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule also applies to contracts signed at your home, giving you 3 business days to cancel. If you were not given a written Notice of Cancellation at signing, that window may never have legally started.

WHY SO MANY TX SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Houston's solar market attracted a wave of out-of-state sales companies between 2019 and 2023, many of which used aggressive commission-based sales teams with minimal training and maximum incentive to close deals. The result: contracts signed under time pressure, savings projections based on best-case assumptions, and financing structures that were never fully explained. Texas's deregulated energy market added complexity — net metering rules and utility buyback rates vary by provider, making savings projections even harder to verify.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — HOUSTON, TX

Can I cancel a solar contract in Houston after installation?+

Yes, in many cases. Post-installation cancellation is more complex than pre-installation, but it is possible through legal grounds including misrepresentation, TILA violations, or failure to provide required cancellation notices. Texas's DTPA provides strong remedies for deceptive sales practices.

What is the Texas DTPA and how does it help me?+

The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act prohibits false, misleading, or deceptive acts in consumer transactions. If your solar salesperson made promises that turned out to be false — about savings, the tax credit, or system performance — you may have a DTPA claim that allows you to cancel the contract and recover damages.

My Houston solar company is not responding to me. What can I do?+

Document all contact attempts. File a complaint with the Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division and the FTC. Contact the financing company directly — they have leverage over the installer. If the company has service obligations under your contract and is not fulfilling them, that may constitute a material breach.

Does solar add value to homes in Houston?+

It depends on the deal. Owned systems can add value. Leased systems or systems with high loan balances often complicate sales and reduce buyer interest. If your salesperson told you solar would increase your home's value and you are finding the opposite, that may be a misrepresentation claim.
