What types of solar cases does My Solar Lawyer handle?

Can I get out of my solar contract or lease?

Yes, in many cases you can exit a solar contract or lease. Common grounds include misrepresentation by the solar company, failure to deliver promised savings, installation defects, or if the solar company has gone bankrupt. Contact us for a free evaluation of your specific situation.

What should I do if my solar company went bankrupt?

If your solar company has gone bankrupt (like SunPower, Sunnova, or others), you may still have legal options. You could be entitled to contract termination, warranty claims through bankruptcy proceedings, or recovery of deposits. Over 100 solar companies have filed bankruptcy since 2023, affecting 820,000+ homeowners. Contact My Solar Lawyer immediately for a free case review.

How long does a solar dispute case take?

Solar dispute cases typically take 3-12 months to resolve, depending on complexity. Simple contract disputes may settle in 3-6 months, while cases involving litigation or bankruptcy claims can take 6-12 months or longer. We work efficiently to resolve your case as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.

Do I have to pay upfront for solar legal services?

No upfront payment is required for most cases. My Solar Lawyer works on a contingency fee basis for most solar disputes, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. For certain case types, we offer flexible payment arrangements including flat fees and payment plans.
