Why Do We Not Take Lease Cases?
Many prospective clients have asked whether Prevost Law Firm handles solar lease or power purchase agreement (PPA) cases. We appreciate this question and want to provide a clear and transparent answer.
At this time, we are not accepting lease or PPA cases.
Our Current Focus
Our firm is currently focused on representing clients in cases that involve:
Breach of warranty, where the solar system fails to perform as promised
Breach of contract, where the terms agreed upon were not honored
Improper dealer fees or hidden charges imposed by lenders
These cases generally involve clients who own their solar systems either through a purchase or a loan. Ownership provides a clearer legal framework and more robust consumer protections, allowing us to pursue meaningful remedies under applicable laws, such as the Federal Trade Commission’s Holder Rule.
Why Lease and PPA Cases Are More Complex
Lease and PPA agreements differ significantly from purchase agreements because the homeowner does not own the solar system. This distinction makes legal action more complicated.
In a lease, many typical misrepresentations—such as overstated production expectations or tax benefits—are not applicable in the same way. Companies that structure their offerings as leases often do so in part to reduce their legal exposure. These agreements tend to be written in ways that make it difficult to hold the provider accountable.
As a result, lease and PPA cases rarely provide a viable path to the level of relief or resolution we strive to achieve for our clients.
One Area of Concern Within Leases
There is one aspect of solar leases that we believe is particularly problematic: the automatic annual price increase. The most common escalation rate we see is 2.9 percent per year. While this may appear minor, it can significantly raise monthly payments over time and erode the financial benefits the lease was meant to provide.
If you are currently in a lease with escalating payments, we recommend contacting a local consumer law attorney. You may be able to challenge the annual increase and negotiate a fixed payment schedule, which could offer long-term financial relief. Based on our experience, this is the most practical avenue of recourse available for leaseholders at this time.
Our Commitment
We recognize how frustrating and financially stressful a problematic solar agreement can be. While we are not currently accepting lease or PPA cases, this decision is rooted in our commitment to delivering real, measurable outcomes for our clients.
Should future legal developments provide new strategies for pursuing lease-related claims, we will revisit this decision and provide an update accordingly.
In the meantime, we remain dedicated to advocating for homeowners who have been misled or financially harmed through solar purchases and financing arrangements. If you believe you have experienced a breach of warranty, breach of contract, or hidden lender fees, we encourage you to contact us for a no-cost claim review.
Conclusion
Navigating solar agreements can be complex, especially when promises are broken or terms become burdensome. While lease and power purchase agreement cases present significant legal challenges that limit our ability to serve clients effectively in those matters, Prevost Law Firm remains committed to protecting homeowners from deceptive practices in solar sales and financing.
If you have a purchased system and believe your contract has been violated or you were charged unfair dealer fees, we are here to help.
Our goal is to provide clear guidance, strong legal support, and the highest possible value to every client we serve.
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.
