⚠ SOLAR CONTRACT TRAP — PHOENIX, AZ

CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN PHOENIX, AZ

Phoenix is the solar capital of America by sunshine hours — which made it ground zero for aggressive solar sales. APS and SRP's net metering changes have dramatically reduced the value of solar exports, leaving thousands of Phoenix homeowners with payments that no longer make sense. Arizona's consumer protection laws provide real remedies for homeowners who were misled.

THE PHOENIX SOLAR PROBLEM

Thousands of homeowners across Phoenix 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.

TOP COMPLAINTS WE SEE IN PHOENIX

!APS and SRP net metering changes eliminated promised savings

AZ STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Arizona 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 FTC Cooling-Off Rule provides a 3-day cancellation right for contracts signed at your home. Arizona courts have applied consumer fraud protections to solar contract disputes, and the Arizona AG has taken enforcement action against solar companies for deceptive practices.

WHY SO MANY AZ SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Phoenix's abundant sunshine made solar an easy sell, but the financial case depended heavily on net metering rates that have been repeatedly reduced by APS and SRP. Sales companies that sold solar using pre-change net metering projections without disclosing the regulatory risk were making materially misleading representations. Arizona's extreme summer heat also causes panel degradation that reduces output — a fact that was often omitted from sales presentations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — PHOENIX, AZ

Can I cancel my solar contract in Phoenix, Arizona?+
Yes. Phoenix homeowners have multiple legal grounds to cancel solar contracts, including the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act (A.R.S. § 44-1521), the FTC Cooling-Off Rule, and TILA violations. If your savings projections were based on pre-2017 APS or SRP net metering rates that are no longer accurate, that may constitute material misrepresentation. A free case review identifies your specific options.
Can I cancel my solar contract in Phoenix after APS or SRP changed their net metering rates?+
Possibly yes. If your savings projections were based on net metering rates that have since been reduced, and the salesperson did not disclose the regulatory risk, that may constitute a material misrepresentation under the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. A contract review can assess whether this applies to your situation.
How do I get out of a solar lease in Phoenix?+
Getting out of a solar lease in Phoenix typically involves one of three paths: (1) legal cancellation based on misrepresentation or undisclosed terms, (2) buying out the remaining lease balance, or (3) transferring the lease to a buyer if you are selling your home. Legal cancellation is often the most cost-effective option and the one most homeowners do not know about.
Does Arizona heat affect solar panel performance?+
Yes. Solar panels lose efficiency at high temperatures — typically 0.3–0.5% per degree Celsius above 25°C. Phoenix regularly exceeds 40°C in summer, which can reduce output by 10–15% compared to optimal conditions. If this was not disclosed in your proposal, it may be relevant to a performance claim.
What solar companies have the most complaints in Phoenix?+
Based on Arizona AG complaint data and BBB records, the most complained-about solar companies in Phoenix include Sunrun, Vivint Solar (now NRG Clean Power), SunPower (now bankrupt), and Tesla Solar. Common complaints involve undisclosed escalator clauses, dealer fees hidden in loan balances, and savings projections based on outdated net metering rates.
How do I file a complaint about my solar company in Arizona?+
File complaints with the Arizona Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division (azag.gov), the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov), and the CFPB (consumerfinance.gov/complaint). If your solar company is licensed in Arizona, also file with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. These complaints create a paper trail and can sometimes prompt faster resolution.
