Understanding Solar Panel Lawsuits in Missouri

Solar panels can reduce energy costs and increase property value, but many Missouri homeowners and business owners have discovered that the systems they purchased are defective, improperly installed, or misrepresented during the sales process. Problems can include roof leaks, electrical hazards, system failure, unexpectedly high payments, or misleading promises about tax credits and energy savings. When these issues arise, property owners often discover that the installation company has ignored warranty obligations or that financing agreements contain hidden terms. A Missouri solar panel lawyer can help you understand your rights and determine whether you have a claim. At Vargas Gonzalez Delombard, we represent homeowners, commercial property owners, agricultural operators, and communities throughout Missouri who have suffered financial or property damage due to solar panel defects or solar company misconduct. Our attorneys have extensive experience addressing claims involving negligent installation, product defects, deceptive sales practices, and roof damage caused by solar systems.

Common Problems with Solar Panel Systems in Missouri

Solar panel disputes often arise after installation companies promise long term savings but deliver poor workmanship or systems that fail quickly. Missouri property owners commonly experience:

  • Roof leaks caused by improper mounting
  • Electrical malfunction or fire hazards
  • Inverters or batteries that fail prematurely
  • Defective panels with low output
  • Misconfigured systems that produce far less energy than advertised
  • Damage to shingles, underlayment, or roof decking
  • Unexpected increases in utility bills
  • Panels detaching during storms due to poor installation
  • Misleading claims regarding tax credits or incentives
  • Loan terms that differ from what was promised

These issues can cause significant financial loss and long term structural damage.

Why Solar Panel Claims Often Lead to Lawsuits

Solar companies frequently deny responsibility for system defects or installation errors. Many property owners learn that the warranties they were promised are difficult or impossible to use.

Missouri solar panel disputes often involve:

  • Improper installation by unlicensed or unqualified workers
  • Dishonest sales presentations
  • Financing agreements that do not match verbal promises
  • Roof damage and water intrusion
  • Products that do not meet industry standards
  • Failure of the company to respond to warranty requests
  • Systems that stop working shortly after installation
  • Contracts that contain unclear or misleading terms

When these issues occur, legal action may be necessary to protect your property and finances.

Missouri Consumer Protection Laws and Solar Panel Cases

Missouri law protects consumers from misleading and deceptive business practices. Many solar panel disputes fall under these protections, including:

  • Misrepresented energy savings
  • False claims about tax credits
  • Use of high pressure sales tactics
  • Failure to disclose financing costs
  • Promises of free or low cost installation that are not true

We evaluate each case to determine whether a Missouri Merchandising Practices Act claim provides an additional path for recovery.
