Who's affected

Predatory solar sales have harmed homeowners in every state.

This isn't a handful of bad actors. Across the country, homeowners were sold solar on promises that never held up — and left with a contract, a loan, and no one to call. SGT Team exists to change that.

Who it happens to

The people predatory solar hits hardest.

Retirees & fixed-income homeowners

Sold “free” solar and locked into 20–25 year loans that outlast the promised savings.

First-time solar buyers

Told the tax credit and utility savings would cover the payment — then the math never worked.

Homeowners mid-sale of their house

Blocked at closing by a UCC lien or an assumable solar loan no one disclosed.


What the harm looks like

The grievances we hear again and again.

Misrepresented savings

Your bill went up, not down — the “guaranteed” savings you were promised never existed.

Hidden liens & financing

A UCC filing, dealer fee, or loan you were never clearly told you were signing.

Forged or rushed contracts

Signatures, terms, or approvals you don’t remember agreeing to.

Broken or dead systems

Panels that were never switched on — or never worked from day one.

Abandoned installs

The company took your money, half-finished the job, and disappeared.

Roof & property damage

Leaks, cracked tiles, and damage the installer refuses to own.


Who we are

The Solar Grievance Task Force is a consumer-advocacy organization. We came out of a simple, frustrating pattern: homeowners were being sold solar on promises that never held up — inflated savings, hidden liens, dead systems — and then left with a contract, a loan, and no one to call.

We do the part that's hard to do alone. We gather the paperwork, name what went wrong, identify who's responsible — including the finance company that holds your loan under the FTC Holder Rule — and press for a resolution. When a matter belongs in court, we refer homeowners to licensed attorneys.

You may know our work from exitsolar, where we help homeowners understand and get out of bad solar deals. The Task Force is the next step: active help pursuing your specific grievance.
