Preparing for Solar Arbitration: What We Need From You to Strengthen Your Case

At Prevost Law Firm, we remain committed in helping you get the best possible outcome in your solar panel case. As your case moves into arbitration, there are a few key documents we’ll need from you to fully prepare and present your claim to the arbitrator.

We’ve already filed several claims on your behalf—alleging misrepresentations, unfair practices, and contract issues. Now, we need supporting documentation to prove your side of the story. Here’s what we’re asking for and why it matters:

1. Tax Returns Related to the Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

If you were promised a specific tax rebate or investment tax credit (ITC) but didn’t receive it, we need your tax return to show the discrepancy. This helps us demonstrate false or misleading statements made during the sales process.

2. Electricity Bills (Before & After Solar Installation)

To prove that the promised energy savings never materialized, we need electricity statements from 1 year prior to your installation to present.

If you don’t have the full set, let us know why and send what you can – 4 to 6 months of recent bills at a minimum. We’ll compare your utility savings to your loan payments to highlight the financial burden you’re experiencing.

3. Annual Production Reports from Your Solar System

Your system is likely powered by SolarEdge or Enphase. Please use the app to download your annual production report and send it to us. This allows us to show the gap between what your system was promised to produce and what it actually delivered.

4. Documentation of Property Damage

If your system caused roof leaks or other property damage, we’ll need:

• Estimates from contractors
• Photos or reports
• Paid invoices, if any repairs have already been completed
  If you haven’t gotten an estimate yet, please schedule one. This documentation helps us assign a dollar value to your damages.

5. Relevant Emails or Text Messages

Send us any messages you exchanged with the salesperson, installer, or lender that discuss what went wrong—such as misrepresentations, poor installation, or service issues. These communications are often critical in proving your claims.

What You Don’t Need to Worry About

There are a few claims we can handle without additional documents from you:

• Your solar installer going out of business
• Dealer fees or hidden financing costs
  We already have the evidence needed for those.

We’re In This Together

We view our relationship with you as a partnership. The more thorough and accurate the documentation we present, the stronger your case will be. If you’re missing some of these documents, don’t stress—we’ll work with you to determine the best path forward.

Our team will be reaching out soon to help gather what we need. Thank you for being proactive and responsive as we work to deliver justice on your behalf.
