Spokane homeowners were targeted by solar sales companies despite Eastern Washington's variable weather. Avista Utilities customers were promised savings that often did not materialize. Washington law provides strong consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Spokane 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.
Spokane homeowners are protected by the Washington Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.86.020), which provides for actual damages, treble damages up to $25,000, and attorney's fees.
Spokane's solar production is significantly limited by its winter cloud cover and shorter daylight hours. Solar sales companies often used optimistic sunshine projections that did not reflect Spokane's actual weather patterns, resulting in systems that underperform relative to what was promised.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
