When homeowners invest in solar energy, they expect lower utility bills, energy savings, and a system that works as promised. Unfortunately, that’s not always what happens.
At Prevost Law Firm, we regularly hear from consumers who were sold solar systems based on promises that never materialized. Some are left with defective installations. Others are stuck with loans for systems that don’t work. Many feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and unsure where to turn for help.
One of those homeowners was Alejandro.
After being left with two solar loans and a non-functioning system, Alejandro found himself facing a situation no homeowner expects. Today, after successfully resolving his case, he’s sharing his story in hopes that it helps others facing similar solar problems.
A Solar Project That Went Wrong
Alejandro’s problems began after working with a solar installer called Texas Energy Resources Innovations.
Like many homeowners, he trusted the company to properly install a solar energy system and deliver the benefits that had been promised during the sales process.
Instead, he found himself trapped in a nightmare.
Not only did he end up signing two separate loans, but the solar system itself never functioned correctly.
While the installation was completed, serious problems quickly became apparent. According to Alejandro, the system failed inspections, the wiring was incorrect, and the overall workmanship was deeply flawed.
“They did come and install it,” Alejandro explained. “But they never passed the inspections. The wiring was wrong, and it was just really bad.”
The result was a system that wasn’t producing the benefits he expected while leaving him responsible for significant financial obligations.
“I felt completely taken advantage of,” he said.
Like many homeowners, Alejandro initially tried to resolve the situation on his own.
By that point, however, the installer was no longer an option.
He received notice that the company had gone bankrupt, leaving him without a way to seek help directly from the business that had sold and installed the system.
Instead, he turned to the lender.
The lender attempted to address the issues by sending technicians to inspect and repair the system. Unfortunately, those efforts were unsuccessful.
According to Alejandro, multiple crews were sent to evaluate the installation, but none were able to get the system functioning properly.
“They sent somebody, and they couldn’t fix it. Then they sent somebody else, and they couldn’t fix it,” he recalled. “They sent like four different crews. No one was able to get the system working.”
For many homeowners, this is where frustration turns into hopelessness. The installer is gone. The lender isn’t providing a solution. The loan payments continue.
Meanwhile, the system that was supposed to save money becomes a constant source of stress.
Searching for Real Help
As Alejandro explored his options, he encountered another challenge that many solar consumers face: finding trustworthy legal help.
He initially found a company that claimed to assist consumers with solar-related disputes. However, after learning more about their process, he discovered they were essentially acting as a middleman.
The company would review his case, charge him a fee, and then refer him to a law firm that would charge additional fees.
That approach didn’t sit well with him.
Instead, he continued searching and eventually found Prevost Law Firm.
Unlike referral services or lead-generation companies, Prevost Law Firm works directly with homeowners and focuses exclusively on solar panel fraud and solar-related consumer claims.
That direct approach made a difference.
Taking Action Against the Solar Debt
When Alejandro first contacted our office, he admits he wasn’t completely sure about moving forward.
Like many homeowners, he worried about the risks.
He knew he was stuck with loan payments for a system that didn’t work. At the same time, he worried that stopping payments could damage his credit and create even more financial problems.
Fortunately, after discussing his situation with our team, he decided to pursue legal action.
One of the people who helped him through that decision was a member of our staff who took the time to explain the process, answer his questions, and help him understand his options.
That support gave him the confidence to move forward.
Looking back, Alejandro says it was one of the best decisions he could have made.
Communication Every Step of the Way
One concern many consumers have about hiring an attorney is whether they’ll be left wondering what’s happening with their case.
Alejandro says communication was one of the things that stood out most during his experience with Prevost Law Firm.
Throughout the process, our team kept him informed about developments, explained what to expect, and walked him through each step of the case.
“My experience has been really good,” he said. “I’ve been helped all along. I have been informed of everything that was going to happen every step of the way.”
Solar litigation can take time, particularly when lenders dispute claims or multiple parties are involved.
However, keeping clients informed throughout the process remains one of our highest priorities.
The Relief of a Successful Resolution
While the details of Alejandro’s settlement are confidential, the outcome speaks for itself.
When asked how he felt after receiving his resolution, Alejandro’s answer was immediate.
“Awesome. Relieved. Stress-free.”
For many homeowners, those words perfectly capture what it feels like to finally put a solar dispute behind them.
The financial pressure eases. The uncertainty disappears. The constant stress no longer hangs over the household.
For Alejandro, the resolution meant more than just financial relief.
It also brought peace back into his home.
Like many families dealing with solar problems, the situation had created tension and disagreements. What started as an attempt to improve the family’s financial future became a source of ongoing stress.
Now that the case is resolved, he and his wife have been able to move forward.
“We don’t have any problems about it anymore,” he said. “We’re just continuing and moving on.”
A Personal Call That Made a Difference
One moment that stood out to Alejandro occurred when attorney Neal Prevost personally called him with the news about his case.
Receiving that call brought an emotional sense of closure after a long and difficult journey.
He jokingly recalled thinking, “That’s it. I can quit. I can go home.”
Moments like these remind us that behind every solar case is a real family, real financial stress, and real people looking for answers.
Alejandro’s Advice to Other Homeowners
If Alejandro could offer one piece of advice to homeowners dealing with solar problems, it’s simple:
Don’t wait.
Too many consumers spend months or even years hoping their installer, lender, or servicing company will eventually fix the problem.
Meanwhile, loan payments continue, credit concerns grow, and opportunities for legal action may become more complicated.
Alejandro encourages homeowners to seek help as soon as possible.
His experience taught him that while there are scams in the marketplace, there are also legitimate professionals willing to fight for consumers who have been wronged.
“What you guys did with me is awesome,” he said.
