CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN PROVIDENCE, RI

Providence homeowners signed solar contracts during Rhode Island's aggressive clean energy push, with Sunrun and Freedom Forever running active door-to-door campaigns throughout Providence County.

THE PROVIDENCE SOLAR PROBLEM

Thousands of homeowners across Providence 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 PROVIDENCE

!Sunrun PPA escalator clause not disclosed — Providence homeowner payments increasing annually
!Dealer used RI net metering rates that have since changed — savings projections now inaccurate
!Freedom Forever promised $0 National Grid bill — homeowner paying $250/month combined
!GoodLeap loan disbursed before system passed National Grid interconnection
!System produces 30% less than projected — Providence's winter shading not accounted for
!Door-to-door sales team misrepresented Rhode Island Energy Office programs

RI STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Rhode Island's Deceptive Trade Practices Act prohibits unfair or deceptive acts in commerce, including misrepresentation of solar savings, net metering benefits, and financing terms. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule applies to all door-to-door solar sales. Rhode Island's AG has received solar fraud complaints from Providence homeowners, particularly regarding net metering misrepresentation and inflated savings projections.

SOLAR COMPANIES WE FIGHT IN PROVIDENCE

Sunrun
Sunrun is the dominant solar company in Providence. Complaints focus on PPA escalator clauses not disclosed at signing and savings projections based on net metering rates that have since changed.
Freedom Forever

WHY SO MANY RI SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Providence's high National Grid rates and Rhode Island's clean energy incentives made solar an attractive proposition. Dealers frequently used Rhode Island's favorable net metering policies to generate inflated savings projections, failing to disclose that these policies were subject to change.
