If you’re a Dallas homeowner reviewing a solar lease, loan, PPA, or purchase contract you regret signing, you’re not alone. Dallas leads Texas in solar installations and has been one of the most heavily targeted markets for door-to-door solar sales in the state. Sitting in Oncor territory with a highly competitive retail electricity market, Dallas neighborhoods from Preston Hollow to Lake Highlands, Oak Cliff, Garland, and Mesquite have seen aggressive sales activity.
Common Dallas-area concerns SCRC hears from homeowners include:
DISCLAIMER
SCRC is a marketing and intake service. SCRC collects and organizes information from Dallas homeowners and connects qualifying individuals with Consumer Advocacy Law Group, the law firm that handles solar contract matters under Texas law.
Step 1 — Free Intake. The Dallas homeowner submits their information through the form on this page or by calling 972-944-5172. SCRC collects and organizes basic information about the contract and the homeowner’s concerns.
Step 2 — Document Collection. The homeowner provides their documentation, including the original contract, financing paperwork, sales communications, and any related correspondence. SCRC organizes the documentation; SCRC does not analyze it.
Step 3 — Attorney Review. Documents may be reviewed by Consumer Advocacy Law Group, a qualified law firm that handles solar contract matters. The law firm independently determines whether the homeowner may be eligible for legal review.
Step 4 — Engagement Decision. If the attorney determines the homeowner may qualify for legal review, the homeowner and the law firm may enter into an engagement directly. SCRC is not a party to that engagement and does not provide legal services.
Step 5 — Resolution. Any contract challenge proceeds under the law firm’s direction. SCRC’s role is limited to the intake, document collection, and referral steps above.
The questions below are general information. They are not legal advice. SCRC is not a law firm and cannot provide legal answers. A qualified attorney may review your specific situation.
Possibly. Dallas homeowners often discover after installation that their Oncor bill did not decrease the way the sales presentation suggested. This can happen when projected production numbers were inaccurate, offset estimates were overstated, or important costs such as Oncor delivery charges, seasonal usage changes, or nighttime electricity usage were not fully explained during the sales process. Dallas homeowners are also commonly affected by changes in retail electric provider plans and net metering structures that may reduce expected savings. If your actual bills are significantly different from what was promised, preserve the original proposal, production estimates, utility bills, and any text messages or emails from the salesperson. Submit your information for a free intake. A qualified attorney may review whether the representations made during the sales process may present potential issues under SB 1036 or the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
Dallas homeowners frequently discover UCC-1 filings during refinancing or home sales, especially in fast-moving areas throughout Dallas County. Although a UCC-1 financing statement is filed against the solar equipment rather than the home itself, lenders, title companies, and buyers often treat it as an issue that must be resolved before closing. Solar lease assumptions, loan transfers, payoff demands, and approval delays can all create complications during the transaction process. Submit your information for a free intake — a qualified attorney may review whether your underlying solar contract may be subject to challenge, which may affect your options before the home sale closes.
Possibly. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act has a two-year statute of limitations from the date the deceptive act occurred or was discovered. Federal TILA rescission rights are much shorter — typically three business days. SB 1036’s five-business-day cancellation right applies to contracts signed on or after September 1, 2025. Other claims, including breach of contract or fraud, may carry longer limitations periods. A qualified attorney may review the specific timing of your situation.
No. The initial intake is free. The homeowner submits their information; SCRC collects and organizes it; documents may be reviewed by a qualified law firm. There is no obligation to proceed.
The original solar contract (lease, loan, PPA, or purchase agreement), any financing documents, the proposal or sales presentation, text messages or emails with the salesperson, monthly statements, recent electric bills, and any correspondence with the solar company or finance company about issues that have come up. The homeowner provides this documentation; SCRC organizes it.
No. A UCC-1 financing statement filed in connection with a residential solar contract is filed against the solar equipment, not against the home itself. However, title companies, lenders, and home buyers often treat the UCC-1 as an encumbrance during home sales or refinances, which is why so many homeowners discover the filing only when they try to sell or refinance.
