Peoria homeowners served by Ameren Illinois were targeted by solar sales companies. Illinois's variable weather and consumer protection laws provide remedies for homeowners who were misled about their solar contracts.
Thousands of homeowners across Peoria 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.
Peoria homeowners are protected by the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (815 ILCS 505/2), which provides for actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
Peoria's variable weather and significant cloud cover in winter mean solar systems produce substantially less than in sunnier states. Solar sales companies often used optimistic projections that did not reflect Peoria's actual weather patterns.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
