Every state has consumer protection statutes, cooling-off rights, and contractor licensing requirements that solar companies are supposed to follow. When they don't, those violations become your legal leverage. Find your state below.
Solar energy is one of the most powerful tools a homeowner has for energy independence. The technology is real. The savings potential is real. The environmental benefit is real. What is not okay — what has never been okay — is the wave of predatory sales tactics that have trapped hundreds of thousands of American families in contracts they didn't understand.
Undersized systems sold knowing they won't cover the whole bill. Tax credit "refund checks" that don't exist. "Government programs" that are private 25-year loans. Homeowners who will never qualify for the tax credit because they owe $0 in federal taxes. Every one of these is a violation of state law. Every one of them gives you legal leverage. This page is your guide to finding it.
These states have the most aggressive solar sales activity — and the strongest consumer protection laws to match.
California has the strongest solar consumer protection laws in the US. If your contract is missing required disclosures, it may already be voidable. Learn your rights.
