We’re Featured in BriefGlance: Shining a Light on the Solar Contract Crisis

This week, we’re proud to be prominently featured in a major new article by BriefGlance that exposes the growing challenges in the residential solar industry.

The Numbers Tell a Troubling Story
According to the article, FTC complaints involving solar panels surged 315% in 2023, with over 5,300 complaints filed nationwide. In Texas, investigations revealed that more than 80% of complainants felt deceived by misleading sales practices. Many homeowners are now stuck making payments on systems that underperform, were never properly installed, or came with terms far different from what salespeople promised.
These statistics align with what we see every day at Solar Equity Solutions. Homeowners across the country reach out feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and trapped in 20- or 25-year agreements that haven’t delivered the promised savings.
Solar Equity Solutions Hits Major Milestone: 5,000+ Homeowners Helped
The BriefGlance piece highlights our recent milestone: we have now assisted more than 5,000 homeowners in reviewing and resolving issues with burdensome or misrepresented solar contracts.
“Reaching more than 5,000 homeowners assisted is a meaningful milestone for our team and for the mission behind Solar Equity Solutions. Every homeowner who comes to us is looking for clarity, support, and a better understanding of what their options are.” — Chris Cotton, CFO
We’re also grateful for the recognition of our client-first approach and attorney-led model:
“Our goal has always been to provide a clear, client-first experience for people who feel overwhelmed by the solar contract process. We believe homeowners deserve transparency and support when trying to make sense of these agreements.” — Josie Garcia, COO & VP of Client Services
Why This Matters
Going solar should be an empowering decision — one that reduces your energy bills, increases your home’s value, and supports a cleaner future. Unfortunately, aggressive sales tactics, complex financing, hidden fees, and mismatched performance guarantees have created unnecessary hardship for thousands of families.
Common issues we help resolve include:
- Promised savings that never materialized
- Misleading information about tax credits and incentives
- Surprise escalator clauses in contracts
- Underperforming systems or installation problems
- Difficulty selling or refinancing a home due to solar liens
