A: If you have written promises from the solar company that were not fulfilled, you may have grounds for legal action based on misrepresentation. It would be advisable to collect all documentation of the representations made, including any contracts, advertisements, and communications. This evidence can be critical in pursuing a claim for damages or other remedies.

It may be beneficial to consult with an attorney who can assess the strength of your case and advise you on the best course of action. Legal action could potentially result in rescission of the contract or compensation for the difference in expected and actual costs, among other potential outcomes.
