Billing Errors and
Utility Disputes
You installed solar to lower your bill. If you’re now paying the utility and the financier at the same time — or seeing charges nobody can explain — the numbers deserve a closer look.

When the Bill Doesn’t Add Up
Billing disputes arise from metering errors, misapplied net metering credits, unauthorized charges, and systems that produce far less than the estimate used to sell them. Each has a different paper trail.
We compare what you were promised against what your meter and your bills actually show — and pursue the party responsible for the gap.
Common Patterns We See
The billing problems homeowners bring us most often.
Paying Twice
A full utility bill plus a full loan or lease payment, month after month.
Net Metering Errors
Credits for the power you export applied incorrectly or not at all.
Unauthorized Charges
Fees added to your account that no one can explain or document.
Underproduction
A system generating a fraction of the output used to justify the purchase.
Systems Left Off
Panels switched off after a service call and never turned back on.
Meter & Interconnection
Delays and errors in interconnection that quietly cost you months of savings.
Ask Yourself
- Is your electric bill higher than before your system was installed?
- Are you paying both a utility bill and a solar loan or lease payment?
- Do you see charges on your account that nobody can explain?
- Has your system been producing less than you were told it would?
If you answered yes to any of these, it’s worth a conversation.
What You’ll Need Before You Start
Having documentation ready speeds up your case review.
- Utility bills from before and after installation
- Your interconnection or net metering agreement
- Production reports or monitoring app screenshots
- The savings or production estimate you were shown
- Service tickets and repair records
