Can I actually cancel my solar contract?

In most cases, yes. Solar contracts frequently contain violations of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the FTC cooling-off rule, state consumer protection statutes, and misrepresentation clauses. Our attorneys have found valid cancellation pathways in over 85% of contracts reviewed.

What does solar contract cancellation cost?

Your initial contract review is completely free. If we take your case, we work on a contingency or flat-fee basis — meaning you don't pay us unless we succeed.

How long does it take to cancel a solar contract?

Most cases are resolved in 30 to 90 days. Some straightforward cases close in as little as 2 weeks. We handle all negotiations and paperwork.

What if my solar company went bankrupt?

This is one of the strongest cases we handle. When a solar company goes bankrupt, it often triggers contract voidability clauses. We have helped dozens of homeowners in this exact situation walk away from their contracts entirely.

⚠ SOLAR CONTRACT TRAP — NEWARK, NJ

CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN NEWARK, NJ

New Jersey has one of the most complex solar markets in the country, with SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Credit) programs, net metering, and state incentives that made the savings pitch very compelling. But program changes, SREC price volatility, and aggressive sales tactics have left many New Jersey homeowners with agreements that do not deliver the promised savings. New Jersey law provides strong consumer protection remedies.

NJ STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

New Jersey homeowners are protected by the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-1), one of the strongest consumer protection statutes in the country. The CFA prohibits unconscionable commercial practices, deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise, and misrepresentation in connection with any sale. Remedies include treble damages (three times actual damages), attorney's fees, and filing fees. The NJ AG has taken enforcement action against solar companies for deceptive practices.

WHY SO MANY NJ SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

New Jersey's solar market was built on a combination of net metering, SREC income, and state incentives that made the financial case for solar very compelling. But SREC prices are volatile and have declined significantly since the program's peak. Sales companies that included SREC income in savings projections without disclosing the volatility risk were making materially misleading representations. The transition from SRECs to TRECs (Transition Renewable Energy Certificates) further complicated the picture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — NEWARK, NJ

How did New Jersey's SREC program changes affect my solar contract?+

New Jersey's SREC program has undergone significant changes, and SREC prices have declined from their peak. If your savings projections included SREC income that was based on unrealistic price assumptions, or if the salesperson did not disclose the volatility risk, that may constitute a material misrepresentation under the NJ Consumer Fraud Act.

What is the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and how does it help me?+

The NJ CFA is one of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country. It allows consumers to recover treble damages (three times actual damages) and attorney's fees for deceptive sales practices. This makes it economically viable for attorneys to take solar contract cases on contingency, meaning you may not need to pay anything upfront.

Can I cancel a solar contract in New Jersey after installation?+

Yes, in many cases. The NJ CFA provides 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.

What should I do if my NJ solar company is not responding?+

Document all contact attempts. File complaints with the NJ AG Division of Consumer Affairs, FTC, and CFPB. Contact the financing company directly. If the company has service obligations under your contract and is not fulfilling them, that may constitute a material breach.
