⚠ SOLAR CONTRACT TRAP — SAN DIEGO, CA

CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN SAN DIEGO, CA

San Diego has the highest electricity rates in the continental United States — which made it the perfect target for solar sales companies. The pitch was compelling: replace your SDG&E bill with a lower solar payment. But NEM 3.0 changed the math, PACE loans created title problems, and many San Diego homeowners are now paying more than before. California law gives you strong remedies.

THE SAN DIEGO SOLAR PROBLEM

Thousands of homeowners across San Diego 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 SAN DIEGO

!SDG&E rates increased faster than solar savings — net cost higher than before
!NEM 3.0 eliminated the export credits that made the deal work
!PACE loans preventing refinancing at lower interest rates
!SunPower bankruptcy leaving systems without monitoring or warranty
!Dealer fees of 25–35% hidden in loan documents

CA STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

San Diego homeowners benefit from California's comprehensive consumer protection framework: the CLRA, UCL, and Home Solicitation Sales Act. California's PACE loan regulations require specific disclosures and provide cancellation rights. The California Financing Law provides additional protections for solar loans. Under California law, a contract obtained through material misrepresentation — including failure to disclose NEM 3.0 changes — can be rescinded. Attorney's fees are recoverable under the CLRA, making it economically viable for attorneys to take these cases on contingency.

SOLAR COMPANIES WE FIGHT IN SAN DIEGO

Sunrun
San Diego homeowners report Sunrun leases with 2.9% annual escalators that were not clearly explained at signing.
SunPower
SunPower's 2024 bankruptcy has left San Diego customers without warranty support or a clear path to resolve their agreements.

San Diego Tesla Solar customers report installation delays and system performance below the written proposal.
Freedom Forever

WHY SO MANY CA SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

San Diego's extreme electricity rates made solar an easy sell — the savings pitch was compelling and often accurate under NEM 2.0. But the combination of NEM 3.0 changes, rising interest rates on solar loans, and aggressive dealer fees has eroded the financial case for many homeowners. Sales companies that sold in 2021–2023 using NEM 2.0 projections without disclosing the pending changes may have committed material misrepresentation under California law.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — SAN DIEGO, CA

Is it worth getting out of my solar contract in San Diego given SDG&E's high rates?+
It depends on your specific deal. If your solar payment plus remaining SDG&E bill is higher than your pre-solar SDG&E bill, the deal is not working financially. A contract review can identify whether legal options exist and whether the financial math supports pursuing them.
How does NEM 3.0 affect San Diego solar contracts?+
NEM 3.0 reduced the credit SDG&E pays for excess solar production by up to 75%. If your savings projections were based on NEM 2.0 export credits, those projections are now materially inaccurate. This is one of the strongest grounds for contract challenges in San Diego right now.
What should I do if my San Diego solar company went out of business?+
Contact the financing company directly — they hold your loan or lease and remain liable even if the installer closes. File complaints with the California AG, CPUC, and CFPB. A contract review can identify all parties who may have liability in your situation.
Can I sell my San Diego home if I have a solar PACE loan?+
It is complicated. A PACE loan appears on your title and must be resolved before closing. Buyers must either assume the PACE obligation or you must pay it off. Many buyers refuse to purchase homes with PACE loans, which can reduce your buyer pool and sale price.
