FAQ – Solar Cancellation Resource Center Georgia

Georgia Homeowners' Guide to Solar Contract Review

Georgia homeowners are increasingly reporting concerns over solar agreements that promised significant energy savings—only to find that utility bills remained high due to Georgia Power’s avoided cost rates or unexpected financing escalators.

At Solar Cancellation Resource Center Georgia, we act as a specialized intake partner. We connect you with Georgia-licensed consumer protection attorneys who can perform a legal review of your solar lease, loan, or power purchase agreement (PPA).

If you feel you were misled by sales claims or trapped by unfair contract terms, explore our answers below. Many Georgia residents may be eligible for a legal review under the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act and other state-specific protections.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Contract Review in Georgia

How long does a legal review take in Georgia?

If an attorney determines your case is eligible for review, the timeline for resolution often ranges from 12–24 months. This depends on the solar provider’s cooperation and the specific documentation provided. Attorneys focus on cases with potential violations of the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act or the 2023 Solar Consumer Protection updates.

A qualified attorney may explore several potential outcomes. Depending on the legal findings, options may include contract rescission, modification of terms, or a negotiated settlement. SCRC Georgia does not determine these outcomes; they are handled exclusively by your legal counsel.

This is a common question. In a legal resolution, the removal or abandonment of solar equipment is a negotiated term. An attorney may seek to have the equipment removed if the contract is found to be voidable, or they may negotiate for the homeowner to keep the equipment without further financial obligation.

We offer a free intake process to organize your information. We look for specific “markers” that Georgia attorneys typically require for a case, such as:

  • Contracts signed after July 1, 2023, which may fall under the 30-day cancellation right.
  • Documentation of savings promises that contradict Georgia’s actual utility buy-back rates.
  • Evidence of high-pressure home solicitation (door-to-door sales).

Additional Georgia-Specific FAQ Additions

What are my cancellation rights under Georgia law?
  • The 30-Business-Day Rule (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-23): Under legislation effective July 1, 2023, Georgia homeowners may have 30 business days to cancel solar contracts exceeding $10,000 or 120 months. If the solar company failed to provide a compliant “Notice of Cancellation” form, an attorney may determine that your right to cancel is still active.
  • Georgia Fair Business Practices Act: This law protects you from “unfair or deceptive acts.” If a salesperson misrepresented tax credits as “checks from the government,” this may be a reviewable issue.
  • HB 73 Disclosure Requirements: Sellers in Georgia are now required to provide a clear written disclosure of costs and financing. Failure to do so may provide grounds for a legal challenge.

The most common reasons reported during our intake process include:

  • The “Zero Bill” Myth: Promised savings that ignore the mandatory base fees charged by GA utilities.
  • Net Metering Confusion: Misleading claims about how much Georgia Power or local EMCs pay for excess energy.
  • UCC-1 Liens: Concerns about liens placed on solar equipment that complicate home sales.
  • Aggressive Solicitations: High-pressure sales tactics used in suburban Atlanta and Savannah.

Yes. A legal review is not limited to “new” contracts. If an attorney identifies misrepresentation, breach of contract, or a violation of the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, they may pursue a resolution regardless of whether the panels are already on your roof.
