Trenton homeowners served by PSE&G were targeted by solar sales companies. New Jersey's strong net metering program and consumer protection laws provide remedies for homeowners who were misled about their solar contracts.
Thousands of homeowners across Trenton 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.
Trenton homeowners are protected by the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-2), which prohibits unconscionable commercial practices, deception, fraud, false pretense, and misrepresentation. The Act provides for treble damages and attorney's fees.
New Jersey's SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Certificate) program has undergone significant changes, reducing the income many homeowners expected to earn from their solar systems. Many homeowners were sold systems based on SREC income projections that are no longer accurate.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
