Trapped In Solar

"They paint a wonderful picture. But when you get the picture in the mail, it's all muddy."

Hundreds of thousands of American homeowners are living with solar contracts that didn't deliver what was promised. Higher payments than projected. Savings that never materialized. A utility bill that didn't go away. A system that may never produce what the salesperson said it would.

Trapped in Solar is the information the solar industry didn't want you to have. Co-developed by consumer protection attorney Richard Fonbuena, Esq. and the Solar Cancellation Resource Center, this guide walks you through exactly how residential solar works as a business, what those contracts really say, the scripted sales tactics used on homeowners nationwide, and what your consumer rights are under federal and state law.

You'll get a plain-English breakdown of loans, leases, and PPAs; the financing trap created when your contract is sold to a third-party lender; how to spot misrepresentation and document it; and a state-by-state resource guide covering Texas, California, Florida, Arizona, and beyond.

Includes 20 questions to ask before signing any solar contract, a homeowner's checklist, and a complete glossary.

If you signed something you didn't fully understand, this book is your starting point.
