Pittsburgh homeowners were targeted by solar sales companies despite Pennsylvania's variable weather and Pittsburgh's notorious cloud cover. Duquesne Light customers were promised savings that often did not materialize. Pennsylvania law provides consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Pittsburgh 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.
Pittsburgh homeowners are protected by the Pennsylvania UTPCPL (73 P.S. § 201-2), which provides for actual damages, up to three times actual damages for intentional violations, and attorney's fees.
Pittsburgh is one of the cloudiest cities in the United States, with only about 161 sunny days per year. Solar sales companies routinely used overly optimistic sunshine projections for Pittsburgh installations, resulting in systems that produce significantly less than promised.
