FL STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Florida homeowners are protected by the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), Florida Statutes § 501.201. FDUTPA prohibits unfair methods of competition, unconscionable acts, and unfair or deceptive acts in the conduct of any trade or commerce. Remedies include actual damages, attorney's fees, and injunctive relief. Florida also has a 3-day cancellation right for home solicitation sales under Florida Statutes § 501.021. The Florida AG has taken enforcement action against solar companies for deceptive practices.

WHY SO MANY FL SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Florida's HB 741, signed in 2023, changed how utilities compensate homeowners for excess solar production. Instead of receiving retail-rate credits, homeowners now receive wholesale-rate credits — a fraction of the previous value. Sales companies that sold solar in 2021–2023 using pre-HB 741 projections without disclosing the pending legislation were making materially misleading representations. Florida's frequent hurricanes also create warranty and performance issues that were often not addressed in the sales process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — ORLANDO, FL

How did Florida's HB 741 affect my solar contract in Orlando?+
HB 741, effective January 2024, changed how FPL and other utilities compensate homeowners for excess solar production. Credits are now based on wholesale rates rather than retail rates, significantly reducing the value of solar exports. If your savings projections were based on pre-HB 741 rates, those projections are now materially inaccurate.
What happens to my solar system if a hurricane damages it?+
It depends on your contract. Most solar warranties cover manufacturing defects but not storm damage. Homeowner's insurance may cover storm damage to solar panels, but coverage varies. If the salesperson told you the system was covered for storm damage and it is not, that may be a misrepresentation claim.
Can I cancel my solar contract in Florida after installation?+
Yes, in many cases. Florida's FDUTPA provides strong remedies for deceptive sales practices. If your savings projections were based on pre-HB 741 rates, if dealer fees were not disclosed, or if the tax credit implications were misrepresented, you may have viable grounds for cancellation.
What is the Florida 3-day cancellation rule for solar contracts?+
Florida Statutes § 501.021 gives you 3 business days to cancel any contract signed at your home. The seller must provide a written Notice of Cancellation at the time of signing. If you did not receive this notice, the cancellation window may never have legally started.
