Solar Panel Fraud Attorney Protecting Maryland Consumers

At the Holland Law Firm, consumer protection is the firm’s exclusive focus. We represent consumers facing unfair treatment by corporations, lenders, debt collectors, and financial institutions when it comes to a variety of issues, including solar panel fraud.

As the demand for renewable energy solutions surges, so too does the prevalence of scams targeting consumers. Solar energy has unfortunately attracted unethical players who capitalize on homeowners’ desire to go green. A door-to-door salesman made promises. You signed. Now you owe a lot of money for a system that may not work, and your roof might be leaking.

For over 20 years we’ve helped victims of solar panel fraud, wrongful debt collection, wrongful credit reporting, and other scams. Let’s hold these companies accountable.

Common Forms of Solar Panel Fraud

Misleading Promises About Savings

Sales representatives often exaggerate projected utility savings, guarantee lower electric bills that never materialize, or misrepresent tax credits and government incentives without explaining eligibility requirements. Consumers end up trapped in expensive long-term financing agreements that deliver nothing close to what was promised.

Deceptive Contracts and Financing

Solar contracts are lengthy and difficult to fully evaluate during high-pressure sales visits. Consumers are often rushed into signing without proper explanation of interest rates, payment obligations, liens, escalation clauses, or cancellation rights. Many later discover they agreed to loans or leases they didn’t fully understand.

Installation Problems and Property Damage

Delayed installations, incomplete projects, poor workmanship, and systems that never operate properly are common complaints. Roof damage, electrical issues, and safety concerns often follow. Companies may subcontract work to inexperienced installers or fail to obtain required permits, leaving homeowners with the consequences.

Unauthorized Signatures and High-Pressure Tactics

Some cases involve forged electronic signatures, unauthorized financing applications, or repeated pressure to sign contracts on the spot. Elderly consumers and homeowners unfamiliar with complex financing are especially vulnerable to these tactics.

Your Legal Protections

Maryland consumers are protected by both federal statutes and Maryland laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices. These laws cover deceptive sales tactics, misleading financing arrangements, false advertising, cancellation rights, and unauthorized signatures.
In many cases, consumers may recover damages for financial losses, property damage, attorney’s fees, and other harm caused by fraudulent or deceptive conduct.
