Beware Solar Exit Scams — How to Avoid Predatory “Cancellation” Companies

The solar exit industry is growing — and unfortunately, so are the scams. As more homeowners seek to escape bad solar deals, fake “cancellation” companies are taking advantage, charging thousands for services they never deliver.

At Solar Exit Partners, we’ve seen the damage firsthand. This guide helps you spot the red flags and protect yourself from becoming a victim again.

1. Why Solar Exit Scams Are on the Rise

The solar industry exploded in the last decade — and so did consumer complaints. With thousands looking to cancel, opportunistic companies saw an opening. They promise guaranteed cancellations, collect upfront fees, and then vanish.

These schemes often mirror timeshare exit scams: fast-talking sales reps, vague contracts, and false guarantees of “complete cancellation.”

2. Red Flags to Watch For

If a company exhibits any of these warning signs, proceed with caution:

  • Guarantees of 100% success or “money back” without a case review
  • No licensed attorney involvement
  • Pressure to sign up or pay immediately
  • Refusal to provide written contracts or service details
  • Generic names and no verifiable address
  • Promises of results “in 30 days or less”

Real legal work takes time — and fake companies use speed as a lure.

3. The Difference Between Real Legal Help and Fake “Exit” Firms

At Solar Exit Partners, every case begins with a contract analysis by licensed attorneys. We don’t rely on form letters or empty threats. We:

  • Review each agreement in depth
  • Identify clear legal grounds for exit
  • Negotiate directly with solar providers or their legal teams
  • File claims if needed to enforce your rights

Non-lawyer “exit” companies can’t do any of this — which is why they often vanish after collecting your payment.

4. Real-World Scam Stories

Homeowners across the country have reported paying thousands to “solar cancellation” companies only to discover no action was ever taken. Some even faced credit damage when the original solar company continued billing them.

Our firm has helped several clients recover from these scams — cleaning up credit reports, reopening cases, and pursuing legitimate legal relief.

5. How to Verify a Legitimate Solar Exit Firm

Before signing with anyone, make sure to:

  1. Check for attorney credentials and bar association listings.
  2. Ask for a clear service agreement in writing.
  3. Avoid upfront fees before legal review.
  4. Look for transparency — real addresses, real names, real results.
  5. Search reviews and legal filings to confirm legitimacy.

6. Why Legal Authority Matters

Only licensed attorneys can threaten or initiate legal action — the single most powerful tool in compelling solar companies to cooperate. Generic “exit services” lack this leverage, which is why they rely on empty promises.

When you work with Solar Exit Partners, you’re backed by professionals bound by ethics, laws, and real accountability.

Conclusion: Protect Yourself and Choose Wisely

If you’re ready to get out of your solar contract, make sure you do it the right way — with a trusted, attorney-led team that fights for your rights and sees your case through to the end.

Don’t let one bad contract turn into two.
