Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are valid reasons to break a solar contract?

    Common grounds include fraudulent sales promises, production falling below guaranteed thresholds, installation defects never repaired, and undisclosed liens. If the savings promised never materialized, that gap supports a claim too.

  • Is it too late to do anything if I signed years ago?

    Not necessarily. Rescission windows and limitation periods vary by legal theory, and misrepresentation claims are measured from when the problem surfaced, not when you signed. A pathway may remain open.

  • Can a lawyer get me out of a solar contract I have paid into for years?

    Often, yes. When fraud or a material breach is documented, a resolution can include cancellation and, sometimes, reimbursement of payments already made. When needed, we connect you with experienced attorneys.

  • Can verbal promises from a salesperson be used to cancel a contract?

    They can. Courts have accepted verbal representations as evidence, especially when those promises also appear in emails, texts, or quote sheets. A savings figure jotted during a sales visit counts.

  • My solar company went out of business. Can my contract still be addressed?

    Yes. Several installers have closed recently, leaving homeowners with active payments and unserviced systems. When a company that promised maintenance or warranty disappears, that failure to perform strengthens your case.

  • Does Arizona law protect me from misleading solar sales tactics?

    Yes. The Arizona Consumer Fraud Act prohibits deceptive practices, and Title 44 regulates solar sales, including warranty and performance disclosures. False promises to win your signature may give you grounds.

  • What is the FTC Holder Rule?

    The Holder Rule is a federal protection letting you raise the installer's misrepresentations against the lender now holding your loan, even if that lender had no part in the sale.

  • How does Meridian Contract Advisors help with Solar Contract Cancellation?

  • What should I do if I believe a solar company scammed me?

    Gather every document from the sales process, including who said what and when. Filing complaints with the Arizona Attorney General's Office creates a record. We help pursue your strongest remedy.

  • Can I stop making my solar payments while I dispute the contract?

    Not on your own. Missing payments without a legal strategy can trigger default, collections, and credit damage, and weakens your position. Always start a formal dispute first, with our help.

  • Who removes the solar panels if my contract is cancelled?

    When a contract is cancelled on proper grounds, the solar company typically removes its equipment. Any roof damage during removal should be addressed in the resolution, not left to you.

  • What is a UCC-1 lien on my solar system?

    Many financed solar systems carry a UCC-1 fixture filing, which acts like a lien on the equipment. It surfaces when you sell or refinance, so clearing it early matters greatly.

  • What is the difference between a solar lease, a loan, and a PPA?

    With a loan, you finance and own. With a lease, a third party owns the panels; you pay monthly. With a PPA, you pay for electricity produced at escalating rates.

  • Can I cancel a solar contract years after installation?

    In many cases, yes. Grounds such as documented misrepresentation, disclosure violations, and Holder Rule claims can support cancellation long after installation. Strength depends on your terms and the documentation available.

  • Where can I file a complaint about a solar company in Arizona?

    Homeowners can file with the Arizona Attorney General's Office, the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, and the Better Business Bureau. Coordinated complaints create a public record and pressure companies toward resolution.
