What Your Solar Contract Is Costing You - and What New York Law Says You Can Do About It

---

What's happening in New York right now

If you live in New York and you signed a solar contract, you're in one of the most active states in the country when it comes to taking action against solar companies. Your state attorney general has filed lawsuits against solar companies for deceptive sales practices, and regulators have opened investigations into how solar contracts are being sold to homeowners across your state.

This isn't a quiet issue in New York. It's an active one. And if you signed a solar contract that doesn't feel right, your state is already looking into companies like the one that sold it to you.

What makes solar rights in New York unique

• AG is actively pursuing solar companies. In March 2026, Attorney General Letitia James filed a $275 million lawsuit against Attyx (formerly SUNco) for defrauding New York homeowners with false promises of free solar, tricking consumers into signing loan contracts they didn't understand. If your company is one being investigated, that may directly affect your contract and your options.
• 3-day right to cancel. New York's Door-to-Door Sales Protection Act gives you 3 business days to cancel a contract signed at your home. If this right wasn't properly disclosed, the cancellation window may still be open.
• DPS complaint process. The New York Department of Public Service (DPS) handles complaints about energy companies, including solar providers. Filing is free and can trigger a formal review of your account.
• Strong consumer protection statutes. New York General Business Law §349 prohibits deceptive business practices and gives consumers a private right of action. This means homeowners can pursue claims individually, not just through the AG.
• Cold weather performance gaps. New York's climate means solar systems produce significantly less energy during winter months. If your salesperson's savings projections didn't account for seasonal performance, the numbers you were shown may have been inflated.

What homeowners in New York are doing about it
