Don’t Get Burned by Solar Panel Scams

It’s becoming a disturbing trend across Florida: aggressive solar panel companies using door-to-door salespeople or endless robocalls promising “no more electric bills” and “zero down.”

Here’s the truth: if someone says you’ll eliminate your electric bill forever, hang up or close the door.

Many homeowners fall for the pitch, believing they’re doing something smart for the planet and their wallet. Instead, they end up with a $60,000 to $80,000 loan tied to their home. These loans are often financed through deceptive tactics and high-pressure sales, leaving consumers trapped in contracts they never fully understood.

At The Benenati Law Firm, we see this every week. What was supposed to be “free solar” often turns into a financial nightmare when they realize they now have a loan that’s hard to escape and can threaten your home if you fall behind.

How Solar Panel Loans Work (and Why They’re So Dangerous)

Solar panel loans are typically secured by your home, similar to a second mortgage or UCC-1 lien. That means if you can’t make payments, the lender could place a lien on your property, making it difficult to sell or refinance your home.
Worse, many of these loans are misrepresented at signing — homeowners think they’re getting a federal program or utility rebate when in reality it’s a high-interest, long-term private loan.

Can You Get Rid of a Solar Panel Loan in Bankruptcy?

Yes, in many cases, you can.

Our law firm has been at the forefront of handling these cases right here in Orlando and Kissimmee. We’ve helped homeowners reduce or even eliminate massive solar panel debts through bankruptcy filings.

  • Reduced a $50,000 solar panel loan to just $1,000
  • Negotiated a $68,000 balance down to $25,000

Every case is different, but if you’re already struggling with debt and considering bankruptcy, you may be able to wipe out or significantly reduce your solar loan obligation.
