Solar Panel Lawsuit Updates: What Homeowners Need to Know
As more homeowners take legal action against solar panel lenders for misrepresentations and failed warranties, many are eager to understand the latest results in these cases. If you've been considering legal action or are already involved in a lawsuit, you might be wondering: What are the chances of winning? and What do settlements look like? This article provides an update on current lawsuit trends, settlement outcomes, and what homeowners need to know about their rights.
How Are Solar Panel Lawsuits Progressing?
Many homeowners were misled by solar companies that promised energy savings, government incentives, and long-term warranties—only to find themselves burdened with non-functioning systems and high loan payments. With solar companies like Titan Solar going bankrupt, homeowners are left without warranty coverage, prompting lawsuits against lenders who financed these systems.
Win Ratios and Settlement Trends
Based on recent case results, the success rate for these lawsuits has been strong. Homeowners who present clear evidence of misrepresentation—such as false energy savings claims, unfulfilled warranties, and fraudulent tax credit promises—are seeing favorable outcomes. Settlements often include loan cancellations, financial compensation, and removal of UCC liens placed on their property.
While each case is unique, common legal arguments that have been effective include:
Breach of Contract & Warranty: Solar companies failed to uphold their contractual obligations.
Fraudulent Misrepresentation: Homeowners were misled about the system’s benefits.
FTC Holder Rule: Lenders are held accountable for the misdeeds of the solar companies they financed.
What This Means for Homeowners
If you are dealing with a faulty solar panel system and an uncooperative lender, legal action may be your best path forward. Homeowners should gather all documentation, including:
Signed contracts
Marketing materials from the solar company
Correspondence regarding warranty claims
Loan agreements and payment history
Consulting with an attorney specializing in solar panel litigation can help determine the best approach for your case.
Conclusion
The results of ongoing lawsuits show that homeowners have a strong case against lenders when misrepresentations and contract breaches occur. If you have been wronged by a solar company that is now out of business, you may have legal options to fight back and recover financial damages. Stay informed and take action to protect your rights.

Our Results
What clients are saying
"Took Care of Everything"
I felt completely stuck when Encor went out of business, leaving me with an unfinished solar system that didn’t work, failed inspections, and a loan I still had to pay. On top of that, they misled me about tax credits and savings, and I ended up paying more in taxes and insurance instead. Prevost Law Firm stepped in and took care of everything. Their team handled my case with professionalism and compassion, and I’m so grateful for the outcome. If you're struggling with solar issues, you need to call them. (Cara J.)
"Exceeded My Expectations"
My experience with Encor Solar was a disaster. They installed a system that didn’t work, used an unlicensed subcontractor, voided my roof warranty, and lied about the need for batteries during power outages. When they went out of business, they left me with an unfinished system and no way to fix the mess they created. Prevost Law Firm was amazing—taking on my case and delivering results that exceeded my expectations. They are true advocates for homeowners, and I’m so grateful for their help. If you're facing a similar situation, I can’t recommend them enough! (John S.)
"Pleasure To Work With"
Would recommend 100%. Neal and his staff did an excellent job keeping me informed about the process every step of the way. He was able to get a settlement. He was a pleasure to deal with. (Gabrielle S.)
"Communicated Each Stage Clearly"
Working directly with Mr. Prevost was excellent. Having worked with several attorneys in several fields regarding general real estate matters, I was very pleased with my specific niche case against UCC-1 filings regarding solar liens. Mr. Prevost knew exactly how things would play out in handling the matter and communicated each stage clearly with me as to what I should do and what his team would need from me in the process. (Cody McDonald)
"Changed Our Lives
We can’t thank Prevost Law Firm enough for what they’ve done for us. My wife and I felt utterly defeated and trapped by the $73,590 loan for a solar panel system that never even worked. Encor, the installer, went out of business before the system passed inspection, but Solar Mosaic still demanded we pay for it. As disabled homeowners, we felt taken advantage of and didn’t know where to turn.
From the first phone call, their team made us feel like we weren’t alone in this fight. They listened to our story, fought tirelessly on our behalf, and never gave up until they got results. Thanks to them, our $73,590 loan was completely canceled, and we were refunded every single dollar of the $28,493 we had already paid into the loan. Best of all, we got to keep the solar panels for free!
When we got the news, we were overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. My stroke has already made life challenging enough, and this financial nightmare had only added more stress. Now, thanks to Prevost Law Firm, we can breathe again and finally focus on getting the panels working for us.
To anyone dealing with a solar panel loan disaster: don’t wait—call Prevost Law Firm. They are incredible, and they truly fight for people like us. We are so grateful we found them, and we hope others in similar situations will reach out for their help.
