Legal Rights & Solar Consumer Protection

Homeowners targeted by fraudulent sales tactics possess powerful statutory rights under both state and federal laws.

Key Consumer Protections

The FTC Holder Rule Allows borrowers to assert installer fraud claims directly against their solar lender to wipe out the loan debt.
TILA (Truth in Lending Act) Requires strict, upfront written disclosures of APR, finance charges, and hidden dealer fees.
State UDAP Laws Prohibit unfair, deceptive, or misleading statements, with fee-shifting clauses requiring the company to pay your legal costs.

Solar Panel Scams Resource Center

Solar panel scams usually involve more than a single bad sales call. Homeowners often need to connect misleading savings promises, financing disclosures, installer performance, lien filings, warranty failures, and state complaint options before they know what happened. This resource center is organized so a visitor can move from symptom to evidence to next step without relying on JavaScript navigation.

Use the guides below to compare your situation against common solar fraud patterns, understand federal and state consumer-protection rights, prepare a complaint record, and decide whether a free eligibility screening makes sense. Keep copies of contracts, loan statements, utility bills, screenshots, emails, inspection notes, and any sales materials that promised tax credits, no electric bill, or guaranteed savings.
