Sacramento was ground zero for California's solar boom — and for the predatory sales tactics that followed. SunPower, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2024, had one of its largest dealer networks in the Sacramento Valley. GoodLeap, headquartered in Roseville just 20 miles away, financed tens of thousands of Sacramento-area contracts — many of which are now under federal scrutiny. If you signed a solar agreement in Sacramento and feel trapped, California's SB 784 Confirmation Call requirement and the CLRA give you more legal leverage than almost any other state.
Thousands of homeowners across Sacramento 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.
California offers the strongest solar consumer protections in the nation. The California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) prohibits misrepresentation of savings, system performance, and government incentives. SB 784 requires a live Confirmation Call before any solar loan is finalized — if your lender skipped it, your contract may be void. The Unfair Competition Law (UCL) allows attorneys to pursue restitution of all payments made. California's AG has filed suit against multiple solar companies operating in Sacramento, including actions against door-to-door sales deception and inflated savings projections.
Sacramento's year-round sunshine and high PG&E rates made it a prime target for aggressive solar sales. Dealers flooded the market during the NEM 2.0 to NEM 3.0 transition, rushing homeowners to sign before the rate change — often using false urgency and inflated savings projections based on NEM 2.0 rates that no longer apply.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
