⚠ SOLAR CONTRACT TRAP — WILMINGTON, DE

CANCEL YOUR SOLAR CONTRACT
IN WILMINGTON, DE

Wilmington homeowners were targeted by solar dealers during Delaware's clean energy push, with Sunrun and Freedom Forever running active campaigns throughout New Castle County. Delaware's Consumer Fraud Act and the FTC Cooling-Off Rule provide legal remedies. Sunlight Financial, which financed many Delaware solar contracts, filed for bankruptcy in 2023 — leaving Wilmington homeowners with loans now serviced by unfamiliar third parties.

THE WILMINGTON SOLAR PROBLEM

Thousands of homeowners across Wilmington 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 WILMINGTON

!Sunlight Financial (bankrupt 2023) sold Delaware loan portfolio — new servicer unknown
!Sunrun PPA escalator clause not disclosed at signing
!Freedom Forever promised $0 Delmarva Power bill — homeowner paying $230/month combined
!GoodLeap loan disbursed before system passed Delmarva Power interconnection
!System produces 25% less than projected — Delaware's winter shading not accounted for
!Dealer misrepresented Delaware's Renewable Portfolio Standard incentives

DE STATE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE

Delaware's Consumer Fraud Act prohibits deceptive acts in commerce, including misrepresentation of solar savings, government incentives, and financing terms. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule applies to all door-to-door solar sales. Sunlight Financial's 2023 bankruptcy is particularly relevant for Wilmington homeowners — if your loan was sold to a third-party servicer without proper TILA notice, you may have grounds for cancellation.

SOLAR COMPANIES WE FIGHT IN WILMINGTON

Sunlight Financial (Bankrupt 2023)
Sunlight Financial financed many Wilmington-area solar installations before its 2023 bankruptcy. The loan portfolio was sold to third-party servicers, and many homeowners were not properly notified of the transfer — a potential TILA violation.
Sunrun
Sunrun is active in Wilmington. Complaints focus on PPA escalator clauses not disclosed at signing and savings projections that overstated Delaware net metering benefits.
GoodLeap
GoodLeap financed many Wilmington-area installations. Complaints include loan disbursement before Delmarva Power interconnection approval.

WHY SO MANY DE SOLAR CONTRACTS GO WRONG

Wilmington's high Delmarva Power rates and Delaware's clean energy incentives made solar an attractive proposition. Dealers frequently misrepresented Delaware's Renewable Portfolio Standard incentives and used inflated savings projections to close deals.
