How South Carolina Solar Intake Process Works

Whether you signed a solar lease, loan, or power purchase agreement (PPA) in South Carolina, our process is designed to help you organize your information to explore potential options for legal review—even if the panels are already installed.

At Solar Cancellation Resource Center (SCRC) South Carolina, we act as a national intake partner, connecting homeowners with experienced consumer protection attorneys. These legal professionals understand how to evaluate agreements for misleading claims, non-disclosure of fees, and aggressive sales tactics under South Carolina law.

Our Steps to a Legal Review

Many homeowners feel locked into solar agreements that didn’t meet expectations. We provide a clear path to help you explore your options.

1

Submit Info for a Free Intake Review

Understand Your Potential Options The first step is a free, confidential intake specifically for South Carolina homeowners. When you call us or submit our online form, we will collect basic details about your solar agreement.

Our team will:

  • Confirm your agreement type (lease, loan, or PPA).
  • Organize your pricing terms and stated savings projections.
  • Identify if you were provided the South Carolina Standard Disclosure required by state law.
  • Note any performance issues related to local utility net-metering changes.

Information Organization for Legal Review

We Connect You with Seasoned Consumer Attorneys Once your information is collected, it may be referred to our network of consumer protection attorneys. These attorneys may review your agreement to determine if it qualifies for a legal challenge based on:

  • Potential violations of the South Carolina Energy Freedom Act (Act 62).
  • Misrepresentations of the 3-day or 10-day right to cancel under SC law.
  • Inaccurate claims regarding the South Carolina solar tax credit ($3,500/year cap).
  • Deceptive sales practices as defined by the SC Department of Consumer Affairs.

Evaluation of Potential Strategies

Tailored Plan Based on Your Situation

A Plan Developed by Licensed Legal Counsel Every South Carolina solar agreement is unique. If an attorney determines your agreement qualifies for a review, they may propose a strategy which could include:

  • Formal legal correspondence to the solar provider or lender.
  • Challenges to “unconscionable” contract terms under SC consumer law.
  • Negotiations regarding the UCC-1 lien on the solar equipment.
  • Seeking a modification or potential termination of the agreement.

Execution of the Legal Process

Advocacy Managed by Your Attorney Once you approve a plan with your legal counsel, they begin the process. SCRC remains your intake point of contact while the law firm handles:

  • Issuing formal notices to the solar company.
  • Communicating with lenders regarding your financing terms.
  • Advocating for your rights as a South Carolina homeowner.

Seeking Resolution and Relief

The Goal: Potential Agreement Modification or Termination The goal of this process is to seek a resolution that provides relief from burdensome agreements. Depending on the attorney’s negotiated terms, outcomes may include:

  • Potential release from ongoing monthly payments.
  • Removal of equipment or a “settle-in-place” agreement.
  • Correction of misleading financial escalators.
  • Note: All final outcomes are determined by the law firm and the specific facts of your case.

What Makes the South Carolina Solar Cancellation Process Unique?

  • The 10-Day Rule: South Carolina regulations (S.C. Code Regs. § 28-78) provide a 10-day right to cancel for many solar agreements. Attorneys may review whether this right was properly disclosed to you.
  • Utility Specifics: Whether you are with Dominion Energy, Duke Energy, or Santee Cooper, your attorney will look at how your contract matches up with your specific utility’s net-metering and interconnection standards.
  • The SC Standard Disclosure: South Carolina requires a specific disclosure form for all solar sales. If you didn’t receive one, it may be a key factor in your legal review.

 

Solar Cancellation Resource Center South Carolina is dedicated to helping your case align with South Carolina law — not generic solar cancellation concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Process

Is SCRC a law firm?
