Reviews of companies that offer to help homeowners get out of solar agreements, including fees, promises, and red flags.
A solar cancellation company is a business that offers to help homeowners get out of, or reduce the cost of, a solar lease, power purchase agreement, or solar loan. Services usually include reviewing the contract, looking for problems with how it was sold, filing complaints, and negotiating with the provider or lender on the homeowner's behalf.
Some of these companies do careful, legitimate work. Others charge large fees for things a homeowner could do on their own, or make promises no one can keep. Knowing how they operate helps you decide whether you need one at all.
Before you pay anyone: find out exactly what your agreement says. A free contract review or a call to (520) 686-7921 can tell you whether your situation even calls for outside help.
Most follow a similar process, though the details and quality vary widely.
You share your agreement, financing documents, and the story of the sale.
They look for issues such as missing disclosures, misrepresentations, or contract terms that create leverage.
They may file complaints with regulators and negotiate with the provider or lender.
Possible outcomes range from a cancellation or buyout discount to no change at all.
How a company charges tells you a lot about its incentives. Always get the fee terms in writing.
You pay before work begins, regardless of the outcome. Ask what happens if nothing changes and whether any part is refundable.
You pay each month while your case is open. Costs can add up if the process drags on, so ask how long cases usually take.
You pay only if a defined result is achieved. Make sure "success" is clearly defined and understand how the fee is calculated.
Tip: compare any quoted fee against what you would actually save. A company charging thousands to pursue an uncertain outcome may cost more than a buyout or transfer.
Walk away, or at least slow down, if you see any of these.
No one can promise to cancel every solar contract. Outcomes depend on the agreement, the law, and the facts.
Stopping payments can lead to default, collections, credit damage, or action against your property.
A company should understand your agreement before asking for a large payment.
Services, fees, refund terms, and timelines should all be in writing before you sign.
Urgent deadlines and "today only" pricing are warning signs, especially after a solar sales experience.
Ask directly whether they are a law firm. Only licensed attorneys can give legal advice or represent you in court.
