Homeowners trapped in costly solar leases, power purchase agreements, and loans are being encouraged to begin the contract cancellation process before the year ends by Solar Equity Solutions, an attorney-led firm that focuses exclusively on solar contract cancellation. The Houston-based company's announcement follows a run of 2026 recognitions for its work on behalf of homeowners.
Many homeowners were promised savings of 20% or more, quick payback periods, or “no-cost” solar, according to the firm. Instead, they ended up with rising payments, escalator clauses, underperforming systems, or loan terms that wipe out any savings. Solar Equity Solutions works with homeowners to review the original paperwork, identify misrepresentation or deceptive sales practices, and pursue cancellation, buyout, transfer, or refund outcomes.
“A new year is a natural point to take stock of your finances, and a lot of homeowners are carrying a solar payment that no longer makes sense,” said Josie Garcia, Vice President of Client Services at Solar Equity Solutions. “The sooner someone starts the review, the sooner they know their options. We can't promise a result for every contract, but nobody should have to wait another year to find out where they stand.”
The firm's 2026 recognitions include a Silver Globee® Award for Achievement in Niche Market Innovation from the Globee® Awards for Excellence, for pioneering consumer protection in predatory solar contract relief; Best Solar Consumer Protection Advocate of 2026 from Insider Weekly; the 2026 National Excellence Award from the International Association for Business Excellence (IABE); and Best Solar Exit Company 2026 from the Consumer Ratings Institute.
According to Insider Weekly, the firm has cancelled more than 1,000 solar contracts since 2020, with clients saving an average of more than $30,000 in long-term obligations. The company charges a one-time fee and keeps clients updated directly throughout their case.
Homeowners may want a free contract review if they were told the system would eliminate or sharply cut their electric bill and it hasn't, if they're paying a solar loan, lease, or PPA with escalating monthly costs, if they believe the sales process involved misleading claims, pressure, or signatures they didn't authorize, or if a solar agreement is making it hard to sell or refinance their home.
“Our team talks with homeowners every day who feel embarrassed or stuck, and they shouldn't,” said Garcia. “Most of them were sold something that didn't match what they were promised. A free contract review is the first step toward getting clear answers.”
Solar Equity Solutions is a Houston-based, attorney-led company dedicated to helping homeowners exit predatory or misrepresented solar contracts. The firm handles solar leases, power purchase agreements, and high-interest solar loans, and also pursues refunds and settlements where homeowners were misled. With offices in Houston, TX and Santa Ana, CA, Solar Equity Solutions serves homeowners nationwide.
The announcement matters because it signals a growing consumer-protection push in the residential solar market, where long-term contracts can saddle homeowners with obligations that outweigh any savings. For homeowners, the firm's year-end call to action offers a timely reminder to review their agreements before another year of payments begins. For the solar industry, the recognition of a dedicated exit firm underscores rising scrutiny of sales practices and the financial risks embedded in some leases, PPAs, and loans.
