St. Paul homeowners served by Xcel Energy were targeted by solar sales companies. Minnesota's cold winters and limited sunshine hours mean many St. Paul homeowners are now paying more than expected. Minnesota law provides consumer protection remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across St. Paul 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.
St. Paul homeowners are protected by the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act (Minn. Stat. § 325F.69), which prohibits fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading representations and provides for actual damages, attorney's fees, and injunctive relief.
St. Paul's cold winters, significant snow accumulation, and shorter winter daylight hours significantly limit solar production. Solar sales companies often used optimistic projections that did not reflect Minnesota's actual weather patterns.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
