Forced arbitration clauses hide in solar contracts and strip away your rights. The FAIR Act would ban them — and with your help through our Ambassador Program, we can make sure this protection becomes law.

Ending Forced Arbitration: A Win for Solar Consumers

For too long, homeowners signing solar contracts have been forced into mandatory arbitration clauses — buried in the fine print and designed to keep disputes out of court. If your solar system underperforms, has caused leaks on your roof, or leaves you stranded when the company goes bankrupt, that clause usually means you can’t sue in open court. Instead, you’re funneled into a private arbitration system where the company holds the cards: no jury, limited discovery, and virtually no right to appeal.

That’s why we’re encouraged to see Congressman Hank Johnson and Senator Richard Blumenthal reintroduce the FAIR Act (H.R. 5350) on September 16, 2025. This bill would ban forced arbitration clauses in consumer, employment, and civil rights contracts. Arbitration would still be an option — but only if both sides freely agree after a dispute arises.

This matters for solar customers. Many solar leases, PPAs, and loan contracts quietly include arbitration language. Homeowners facing faulty installations, deceptive sales, or companies walking away during bankruptcy often find themselves locked out of court. It’s one more way the industry has tilted the playing field.

Why It Matters for You

• Transparency: Disputes could go to open court instead of hidden arbitration.

• Accountability: Companies would face public scrutiny for unfair practices.

• Choice: You could still pick arbitration — but only if it benefits you.

Become a Voice for Change

At Solar Escalations, LLC, we’ve seen firsthand how arbitration clauses silence consumer voices. That’s why we’re asking you to join our Ambassador Program. Together, we can push for legislation like the FAIR Act and ensure homeowners have a fair shot when solar companies fail or deceive them.

Legislation to ban mandatory "Arbitration" clauses has been introduced in Congress. Homeowners impacted by these clauses in their solar contracts have an opportunity to make a difference. Make your voice count.
