Our Steps to Solar Cancellation

Millions have found themselves locked into unfair solar contracts.
You can finally break free!

1

Free New York Case Review

Understand Your Rights and Options

The first step is a free, no-obligation case review specifically for New York homeowners. When you call us at 917-695-5318 or submit a form, we’ll ask for basic details about your solar contract.

Our team will:

  • Confirm your contract type (lease, loan, or PPA)
  • Review key pricing terms and savings projections
  • Evaluate performance issues (e.g. grid variability, heat, storms)
  • Identify potential violations of the New York Deceptive Trade Practices Act (GBL § 349)

We’ll tell you clearly whether your case is likely to qualify under New York consumer protection laws.

Customized Cancellation Strategy

Tailored Plan Based on Your Situation

Every New York solar contract is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Based on your contract and New York law, our legal team will propose a strategy that may include:

  • Legal notice letters under the New York Property Code or DTPA
  • Challenges to deceptive or unconscionable terms
  • Negotiations with solar providers and lenders
  • Litigation strategy when necessary

Begin the Cancellation Process

Action and Advocacy on Your Behalf

Once you approve the plan, your attorney will begin execution.

This may include:

  • Issuing formal legal notices
  • Filing consumer protection claims in New York courts
  • Negotiating exit terms and/or panel removal
  • Working toward permanent contract termination

Throughout this process, our team keeps you informed and supported.

Contract Termination and Relief

Permanent Cancellation and Moving Forward

The goal of the New York solar cancellation process is permanent relief from burdensome contracts.

Once complete, many homeowners:

  • Are released from monthly payments
  • Avoid long-term escalators and balloon payouts
  • Improve household cash flow
  • Regain full control of their property

In some cases, panels may be removed; in others, homeowners may keep the equipment with no ongoing obligations — all depending on negotiated terms.

What Makes the New York Solar Cancellation Process Different?

Some unique factors apply in New York:

  • New York homeowners frequently face challenges with misleading marketing, unauthorized charges, or escalating payments—our attorneys help assess whether the state’s FAIR Business Practices Act and related protections may be relevant.

  • The Attorney General’s office has taken action on deceptive solar practices, including unauthorized loans and junk fees—our team keeps current with these enforcement trends to assist clients facing similar issues.

  • Long-term leases or agreements with hidden burdens are difficult to navigate alone—our attorneys provide guidance on understanding potential rights under New York consumer protection laws.


Solar Cancellation Resource Center New York is dedicated to helping your case align with New York law — not generic solar cancellation concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Process

Is this a lawsuit?

Not initially. Many cases resolve through legal negotiation or statutory notice letters under New York law. Litigation is only pursued if it benefits your outcome.

You get a free review. If we accept your case, we’ll outline all fees in advance — no hidden costs.
