What To Do If Your Solar System Was Installed Incorrectly In Texas
For many Texas homeowners, installing solar panels was supposed to be a step toward energy savings and long-term stability. But for some, the experience does
If you’re a San Antonio homeowner reviewing a solar lease, loan, PPA, or purchase contract you regret signing, you’re not alone. San Antonio’s CPS Energy territory and strong growth in solar installations have made it a major target for solar sales across Bexar County. Neighborhoods like Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Helotes, the South Side, and areas near New Braunfels have seen significant activity.
Common San Antonio-area concerns SCRC hears from homeowners include:
DISCLAIMER
SCRC is a marketing and intake service. SCRC collects and organizes information from San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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.
Many San Antonio homeowners report bills that stayed the same or increased after installation despite “zero bill” sales promises. If the original presentation contained misrepresentations about production, CPS Energy credits, or net metering, a qualified attorney may review whether grounds for a contract challenge exist. Submit your information for a free intake.
UCC-1 filings on solar equipment and long-term leases frequently create obstacles during home sales in the San Antonio market. Submit your information for a free intake — a qualified attorney may review whether the underlying contract may be subject to challenge.
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.
