Solar Equity Solutions appears to specialize in helping homeowners explore buyout negotiations and lease transfer options. Based on publicly available reviews, they seem to focus on reducing buyout costs through direct negotiation with solar providers. Their narrower specialization may be an advantage for homeowners who have already identified the buyout or transfer route as their preferred exit method. It is not a law firm; its website says it works with independent attorneys.
Based on our research, Solar Equity Solutions' services appear to include: buyout price negotiation with solar companies, lease transfer facilitation, and guidance on the financial aspects of exiting a solar contract. Their approach appears more focused than full-service firms, concentrating specifically on the financial negotiation aspect of solar exits.
Based on publicly available information, Solar Equity Solutions' services appear to fall in the $$ range (moderate tier). Their focused approach on buyout negotiation may result in lower service fees compared to full-service or attorney-led options. Contact them directly for specific pricing.

Attorney referral modelBennett Legal is a consumer protection law firm that, according to its website, has a practice area focused on solar contract disputes. Because it is an actual law firm, it can give legal advice, represent you in negotiations, and file suit if negotiation fails. In our assessment, it is a strong option for cases involving fraud, misrepresentation or an unresponsive solar company, but it typically costs more than non-attorney options and may be more than a straightforward exit needs.
Based on its website and publicly available information, Bennett Legal's solar practice appears to include: attorney review of your lease, PPA or loan, representation in negotiations with solar companies, fraud and misrepresentation claims, consumer protection actions, legal strategies for cancelling or voiding a contract, help removing UCC liens, and attorney-signed demand letters.
Bennett Legal does not publish its fees; its structure may include consultation fees, retainers, flat fees or hourly billing. Based on our research of the broader solar attorney market, attorney-led solar exit services generally range from $3,000 to $7,500 or more depending on complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
A solar contract exit company is a service provider that helps homeowners explore options for getting out of their solar lease, PPA (power purchase agreement), or loan contract. These companies may assist with buyout negotiation, lease transfers, legal referrals, or other exit strategies. Services, pricing, and success rates vary by company and by individual case. We recommend researching multiple companies and consulting with a qualified attorney before engaging any exit service.
Costs vary widely depending on the company, the exit method, and your specific situation. Based on our research, non-legal exit services may range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, while attorney-led services may cost more due to legal fees. Some companies charge flat fees, while others use percentage-based or performance-based pricing. Always request detailed pricing information in writing before engaging any service.
Our rankings represent our editorial opinions based on independent research. Like all review sites, we have limitations: we rely on publicly available information, our assessments are subjective, and we have business relationships that we disclose transparently. We believe our rankings are a useful starting point, but we always recommend using them as one input alongside your own research, consultation with a qualified attorney, and direct conversations with multiple companies. No single review site should be your only source of information for a significant financial decision.
It depends on your situation. If you believe you were misled or defrauded during the solar sales process, consulting directly with a consumer protection attorney in your state may be the best first step. If you're looking for help with straightforward buyout negotiation or lease transfer, a specialized exit company may be more appropriate. Some law firms, like Bennett Legal, handle both: legal claims and negotiated buyouts or cancellations. We always recommend at least consulting with an independent attorney before making decisions about your solar contract, regardless of which path you choose.
The cheapest exit method is using your state's cooling-off period. If you're still within the cancellation window (typically 3-30 days after signing), you can cancel at no cost. If that window has passed, a DIY approach using your own written letters (see our solar cancellation letter template) and self-guided negotiation is typically the least expensive option. Lease transfers when selling your home may cost $0-$2,000. Buyouts and legal approaches are more expensive but may be necessary depending on your situation. See our full cost comparison →
You have several options when selling a home with a solar contract. The most common is transferring the lease or PPA to the buyer, but the buyer must agree and qualify with the solar company. If the buyer refuses, you may need to buy out the contract before closing, which adds to your selling costs. Some homeowners negotiate the buyout cost into the home sale price. We recommend discussing options with both your real estate agent and the solar company early in the selling process. Guide to selling a home with solar →
We strongly advise against stopping payments without proper legal guidance. If you stop making payments on your solar lease or PPA, the solar company may report the delinquency to credit bureaus (damaging your credit score), send your account to collections, file a lawsuit for breach of contract, or place a lien on your property. In some cases, they may also attempt to remove the equipment and charge you for removal costs. If you're considering this option, consult with a qualified attorney first. There may be legitimate legal grounds to withhold payment, but this determination must be made by a legal professional based on your specific facts.
Common signs of solar sales fraud or misrepresentation include: your actual energy savings are significantly less than what was promised during the sale; you were told the system was "free" but are now making payments; the salesperson promised your utility bill would be eliminated entirely; you were pressured into signing quickly without time to review the contract; terms in your signed contract differ from what was discussed verbally; your signature appears on documents you don't remember signing; or annual escalator clauses were not disclosed. If you recognize these patterns, document everything and consult with a consumer protection attorney. Find a solar panel lawyer →
Some are, and some are not. Which is exactly why we created these rankings. Legitimate solar exit companies include licensed law firms (like Bennett Legal and Connor Law) that use consumer protection law to pursue cancellation, and document preparation services that provide templates and guides for homeowners. Be cautious of companies that: guarantee specific outcomes, charge very large upfront fees with vague promises, pressure you to sign quickly, advise you to simply stop paying your contract, or have no verifiable reviews on third-party platforms. Always check the BBB, read reviews, and consult with an independent attorney before hiring any exit service.
Solar Exit Laws Vary by State
