Step 1 of 3

Who is your solar lender?

HOW SOLAR LOANS GO WRONG

Most solar loan disputes involve one or more of these violations — and each one gives you legal leverage.

TILA Violations

The Truth in Lending Act requires lenders to clearly disclose APR, total cost, and all fees. Many solar lenders bury dealer fees and origination costs, violating TILA. This can give you grounds to rescind the loan.

Undisclosed Dealer Fees

Solar installers often receive 'dealer fees' from lenders — sometimes 20–30% of the loan amount — without telling you. This inflates your loan balance and violates disclosure requirements.

Misrepresented Savings

Salespeople routinely promise specific monthly savings that never materialize. If the savings projections were materially false and you relied on them, this constitutes fraud or misrepresentation.

State Consumer Protection

Most states have consumer protection laws that go beyond federal law. Deceptive solar sales practices often violate state UDAP (Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices) statutes, which can provide additional remedies.

Failure to Provide Right of Rescission

For loans secured by your home, federal law requires a 3-day right to cancel. Many solar lenders fail to properly provide this notice — which can extend your rescission rights significantly.

System Performance Fraud

If your solar system was sold based on projected production numbers that were knowingly inflated, this may constitute fraud — especially if the installer had access to accurate data and chose to misrepresent it.

YOUR OPTIONS

Depending on your situation, one or more of these paths may be available to you.

Loan Cancellation

If legal violations exist in your loan origination, we may be able to challenge the loan entirely — reducing or eliminating the balance.

BEST FOR: TILA violations, misrepresentation

Reduced Payoff

We negotiate directly with your lender for a settlement below the full balance — especially effective when you're selling your home.

BEST FOR: Home sale, financial hardship

Rate Modification

If your interest rate was misrepresented or is unconscionably high, we work to get it modified to a fair rate through negotiation or legal action.

BEST FOR: High APR, dealer fee issues

Lien Removal

For PACE and secured loans, we work to remove the lien from your title so you can sell or refinance without the solar debt blocking the deal.

BEST FOR: PACE loans, home sale
