Scottsdale's affluent homeowner base made it a prime target for premium solar sales pitches. APS's net metering changes and the city's extreme summer heat have left many Scottsdale homeowners with solar agreements that do not deliver the promised savings. Arizona law provides consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Scottsdale 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.
Scottsdale 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.
Scottsdale's affluent homeowner base was targeted with premium solar packages that often included higher dealer fees and more complex financing structures. APS's net metering changes in 2017 reduced the value of solar exports, making pre-2017 savings projections inaccurate. Scottsdale's extreme summer heat also reduces panel efficiency in ways that were often not disclosed.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
