Uncovering the Dark Side of Solar PPAs: Sunrun and Vivint Under Fire for Deceptive Practices

As the world shifts towards renewable energy, the solar industry has seen significant growth. However, beneath the surface of this eco-friendly revolution lies a sinister reality. Two prominent residential solar companies, Sunrun and Vivint, are facing allegations of deceptive sales practices and fraudulent power purchase agreements (PPAs). At Raw Solar, we believe in empowering our customers with the truth, and today, we're shedding light on the dark side of these solar PPAs.

The Deception

Sunrun and Vivint have been accused of employing high-pressure, dishonest sales tactics to lock consumers into 20-year contracts. These contracts, known as power purchase agreements (PPAs), promise homeowners lower energy bills, the ability to cancel anytime, and increased property value. However, the reality is far from these promises. Homeowners are often left with complex financial agreements that are difficult to understand and even harder to escape.

The Consequences

These allegedly deceptive practices have led to numerous violations of California consumer protection laws. Homeowners who signed PPAs with Sunrun or Vivint may be entitled to compensation or other relief to help them get out of their contracts. The consequences of these contracts can be severe, including:

- Financial Penalties: Early termination of the contract can trigger significant financial penalties or obligations for the homeowner.

- Liens on Homes: Sunrun/Vivint files a UCC-1 Financing Statement against the property, giving them recourse to obtain the homeowner's property in the event of non-payment.

- No Tax Benefits: The solar company owns the system throughout the contract, entitling them to utilize any tax credits or other governmental benefits.

- Complicated Sales: The contractual language within the solar PPA can be complex and nuanced, making thorough comprehension challenging for many consumers.

The Investigation

Top Class Actions is currently investigating these allegations and seeking California residents who have signed PPAs with Sunrun or Vivint. If you live in California and have a solar PPA with either of these companies, you may be eligible to pursue mass arbitration and seek relief.
