When a solar contract promises savings but delivers rising costs and hidden fees, homeowners can feel trapped. A Houston-based firm dedicated to unwinding those deals has just earned national recognition for its work — a signal that consumer protection in the solar industry is becoming its own specialty.
Solar Equity Solutions, a Houston-based solar exit company that assists homeowners in getting out of solar contracts they were misled into signing, has been named Best Solar Exit Company by the Consumer Ratings Institute. The honor is based on public consumer reviews and an overall 5.0-star rating on Google. It highlights the company’s work for homeowners who were promised savings, lower bills and easy financing, only to face rising costs, hidden fees and contracts that felt impossible to escape.
Launched in January 2025, Solar Equity Solutions started with a focus on solar advocacy and consumer education, guiding homeowners through the complexities of solar financing and the questions to ask before signing any long-term agreement tied to their home. As more homeowners came forward with payments that didn’t match what they were promised, savings that never showed up and liens they were never clearly told about, the company pivoted its focus to consumer protection. Its stated mission is to end solar fraud and assist homeowners in reclaiming control from solar contracts they were misled into signing.

The company’s team of solar-industry veterans works with licensed independent attorneys to examine contracts, financing documents and sales materials for signs of misrepresentation and deceptive sales practices. Its offerings include termination of solar leases, power purchase agreements (PPAs) and loan agreements; solar misrepresentation disputes; and refund and recovery assistance, including settlement negotiations with lenders and solar companies, plus credit dispute help.
Every case begins with a free, no-pressure review to determine whether the homeowner qualifies. Independent attorneys then review the file and explain the homeowner’s rights in plain English. From there, Solar Equity Solutions and the assigned attorney take over all communication with the solar company and lender, shielding the homeowner from harassment and aggressive collections. Clients pay one transparent fee, with no surprise charges.
“Every homeowner who comes to us was promised savings, honesty and a fair deal, and too many ended up trapped in contracts they never truly understood,” said Josie Garcia, Director of Client Services at Solar Equity Solutions. “Being named Best Solar Exit Company means a great deal to our team, because it comes from the homeowners we’ve stood beside. We’ll keep giving families clarity, fairness and a real path forward.”
Solar Equity Solutions does not represent installers or lenders and does not sell solar systems. Alongside its Houston headquarters, the company maintains an office in Santa Ana, California.
