Mesa is one of the largest cities in the Phoenix metro and was heavily targeted by solar sales companies operating across Maricopa County. APS's net metering changes and extreme summer heat have left many Mesa homeowners with solar agreements that do not deliver the promised savings. Arizona law provides consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Mesa 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.
Mesa homeowners are protected by the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act (A.R.S. § 44-1521), which prohibits deceptive acts or practices in connection with the sale of any merchandise. The Act allows consumers to recover actual damages and attorney's fees. The Arizona AG has taken enforcement action against solar companies for deceptive practices.
Mesa's large population and high APS electricity rates made it a prime target for solar sales companies. APS's net metering changes in 2017 reduced the value of solar exports, making pre-2017 savings projections inaccurate. Mesa's extreme summer heat also reduces panel efficiency in ways that were often not disclosed.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
