How To Get Out of a Solar Loan You Didn't Agree To
If a solar loan was opened without clear consent, preserve credit reports, e-sign records, lender packets, and sales messages before disputing.
If a solar loan was opened that you did not knowingly agree to, move fast and stay boring. This is not the moment for angry phone calls. It is the moment for credit reports, signed PDFs, audit trails, lender records, and a written dispute that forces everyone to answer the same facts.

First Question: Mistake, Misrepresentation, or Forgery?
Different facts require different proof. A confusing sales pitch is not the same as a forged signature. A mistaken duplicate application is not the same as identity theft. Name the problem carefully.
| Scenario | Key evidence |
|---|---|
| You thought it was a quote | Screenshots and messages from the sales flow |
| Someone signed for you | E-sign audit trail, IP address, email, phone logs |
| Wrong email or fake email | Account creation records and envelope history |
| Loan amount changed | Proposal vs final lender agreement |
Who To Put on Notice
Send written notice to the lender, installer, dealer, and any credit bureau reporting the account. Ask each party to preserve records and identify who submitted the application.

FAQ
Can I cancel a solar loan after installation?
Maybe, but it depends on contract terms, cancellation rights, misrepresentation, lender defenses, and state law. Do not rely on a salesperson's verbal answer.
What if I never saw the lender documents?
Ask the lender for the full application file, signed agreement, IP history, email used, phone number used, and dealer submission record.
Should I file a police report for identity theft?
If you believe someone used your identity or forged your authorization, ask a qualified professional about whether an identity theft report is appropriate.
