Long Beach homeowners were heavily targeted by solar sales companies operating across Los Angeles County. SCE's high rates and the NEM 2.0 program made the savings pitch compelling — but NEM 3.0 changes have dramatically reduced the value of solar exports. California law provides the strongest consumer protection remedies in the country.
Thousands of homeowners across Long Beach 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.
Long Beach homeowners benefit from California's CLRA, UCL, and Home Solicitation Sales Act. Under California law, a contract obtained through material misrepresentation can be rescinded. Attorney's fees are recoverable under the CLRA.
Long Beach's high SCE rates and proximity to LA made it a prime target for solar sales companies. NEM 3.0 changes in April 2023 reduced export credits by up to 75%, making pre-NEM 3.0 savings projections inaccurate. Long Beach's coastal location also means salt air can affect system longevity in ways that were rarely disclosed.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
