The sharp rise in Solar contractor disputes in San Diego recently can be attributed to many factors including the number of installations due to recent rebates and incentives. However, many San Diego homeowners are concerned about unfair competition practices including misleading advertising or hidden consequences relating to the sale of a home in the midst of a solar power contract. Solar contractor disputes in San Diego arise for many reasons, including but not limited to:
- Defective solar panels
- Damage to your roof or house
- Breach of Contract
- Disputes over rebates and tax incentives
- Misleading contract verbiage or false claims

Disputes Regarding Solar Leasing
The State of California reports that more than 60% of solar installations in San Diego and across the state are leased. These deals are usually pitched with promises of “nothing out of pocket” and “tremendous savings on your electric bill every month.” In many cases the promises simply are not borne out by the experience of the solar energy customers. In others, issues arise when selling a home in the midst of a solar lease. The lease usually requires the new buyer to assume the existing lease, and if they are unwilling to do so the existing homeowner must either buy out the lease (for an extraordinary cost) or find another buyer.
