Solar Equity Solutions, an attorney-led firm focused exclusively on solar contract cancellation, is urging homeowners locked into costly solar leases, power purchase agreements, and loans to begin the exit process before the year ends. The Houston-based company said the timing matters because a new year is a natural point for households to reassess finances, particularly when a solar payment no longer makes sense.
The push comes after a series of 2026 recognitions for the firm's consumer protection work. Solar Equity Solutions received a Silver Globee® Award for Achievement in Niche Market Innovation, was named Best Solar Consumer Protection Advocate of 2026 by Insider Weekly, earned the 2026 National Excellence Award from the International Association for Business Excellence, and was named Best Solar Exit Company 2026 by 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 firm's warning reflects a pattern familiar to many homeowners who were promised savings of 20% or more, quick payback periods, or "no-cost" solar. Instead, they ended up with rising payments, escalator clauses, underperforming systems, or loan terms that wipe out any savings. Solar Equity Solutions reviews original paperwork, identifies misrepresentation or deceptive sales practices, and pursues cancellation, buyout, transfer, or refund outcomes. The company charges a one-time fee and keeps clients updated directly throughout their case.
"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 implications extend beyond individual budgets. Homeowners who believe the sales process involved misleading claims, pressure, or signatures they did not authorize may face obstacles when trying to sell or refinance a property with a solar agreement attached. The firm invites those who were told a system would eliminate or sharply cut their electric bill and it has not, or who are paying escalating monthly costs, to request a free contract review through Solar Equity Solutions.
"Our team talks with homeowners every day who feel embarrassed or stuck, and they shouldn't," Garcia said. "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 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, the firm serves homeowners nationwide.
