Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are so many homeowners suddenly looking to cancel their solar contracts?
Over the last few years, thousands of solar installers have gone bankrupt or disappeared, leaving homeowners stuck with long-term payment obligations, system failures, or agreements that no one will service.
Financing companies still enforce these contracts even when the equipment doesn’t work or the original promises were never honored.
SunExits helps homeowners understand their rights and explore proven options to unwind these agreements.
2. How do I know if my solar agreement is a good candidate for cancellation or renegotiation?
Contracts may qualify when:
• The terms were misrepresented during the sale
• Costs or payment amounts were not clearly disclosed
• Equipment isn’t working or was never activated
• A UCC lien is blocking refinancing, selling your home, or obtaining a reverse mortgage
• The installer is bankrupt or unreachable
We provide a complimentary contract review so you know exactly where you stand before making any decisions.
3. What is the typical timeline for resolving a solar contract issue?
Every case is different, but most homeowners see a resolution in 12–24 months. The timeline depends on who holds the contract, the condition of the system, whether legal correspondence is required, and the responsiveness of the lender.
Throughout the process, SunExits keeps you updated with realistic expectations.
4. Will canceling my contract stop the monthly payments?
Yes—once your agreement is formally released, canceled, or renegotiated, you are no longer responsible for payments tied to that contract.
Your case review will outline what that outcome could look like for your specific lender or leasing company.
5. What happens to the panels after my contract is resolved?
It varies by company. Some lenders request removal, while others simply terminate your financial obligation and allow the panels to remain.
If removal becomes part of the solution, SunExits helps coordinate that discussion during the negotiation process.
6. Does SunExits guarantee results?
Yes. We only accept cases we believe we can help—and we stand behind that with a One-Year (12-Month) 100% Money-Back Guarantee (terms and conditions apply).
7. Do I need an attorney to exit my solar contract?
Not always. Many cases are resolved through documentation, negotiation, and administrative processes.
If your situation benefits from attorney involvement, SunExits partners with consumer lawyers who step in when needed. You never have to search for representation on your own.
8. Will working with SunExits affect my credit score?
No. We do not perform credit checks, and requesting help or submitting documents through our website has zero impact on your credit report.
9. What if I want to refinance or take out a reverse mortgage?
Solar contracts often include UCC fixture filings, which can block refinancing
approvals, cash-out options, or reverse-mortgage eligibility.
This is one of the most common reasons homeowners reach out to us.
We will evaluate whether the lien can be removed or the agreement rewritten so you
can access your home equity.
10. What if the solar company that installed my system no longer exists?
This is extremely common. If the installer is gone, the servicing obligations usually fall
apart—but the financing contract remains active.
Even in these situations, homeowners often have strong grounds for relief. We examine
the chain of ownership and identify where leverage exists.
11. Can SunExits help if I’m preparing to sell my home?
Absolutely. Buyers frequently refuse to take over a solar loan or lease, and real estate
agents often discover lien issues late in the process.
We can evaluate your contract before you list, help you understand how it may impact
the sale, and explore options to resolve it so your closing isn’t delayed.
12. What documents do I need for my review?
We can begin with just:
• Your solar agreement or financing documents
• Your monthly payment information
• Basic contact details
If you’re missing paperwork, we will help retrieve everything directly from the lender or
servicer.
13. Will I really get my money back if nothing is resolved?
Yes. If we take your case, it’s because we believe your agreement qualifies for a
realistic path toward resolution. In the rare event that no mutual release, settlement,
modification, or similar outcome is reached within one year, we refund your program
fee. It’s our way of removing the risk from your end.
