Questions homeowners ask
Can I get out of my solar lease or loan?
Sometimes. Options depend on your contract, your state and what you were told at signing. Common paths include a buyout, a transfer to a home buyer, a payoff, or a regulator or settlement process where one applies. SGI can help review your contract and options. Results vary and no outcome is guaranteed.
Is Unstuck Solar a law firm?
No. Unstuck Solar (a service of SGI) is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We'll tell you when you need one.
What does it cost to submit the form?
Nothing. Submitting the form is free and does not commit you to anything.
Do I have to agree to calls or texts?
No. The call and text box is optional. Leave it unchecked and SGI will contact you by email only.
My solar company went bankrupt. Do I still have to pay?
Usually the contract survives a bankruptcy and is serviced by a new company. Don't stop paying without advice; missed payments can lead to fees, collections and credit reporting. See our free guides for Sunnova, SunPower and SunStrong.
