New Jersey homeowners have some of the strongest consumer protection rights in the country. The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act allows triple damages and mandatory attorney fees for deceptive solar sales. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities regulates solar net metering and interconnection. New Jersey's 3-day right to cancel applies to all in-home solicitation contracts. The Division of Consumer Affairs at njconsumeraffairs.gov handles deceptive trade practice complaints.
Why New Jersey Has So Many Solar Complaints
New Jersey is one of the top five residential solar states in the country. The combination of PSEG and JCP&L rates that rank among the highest in the nation, a dense suburban housing stock with good roof access, and aggressive solar company canvassing has produced a market where solar was sold at enormous scale — and a complaint volume that reflects that scale.

Momentum Solar's highest complaint volume in the country comes from New Jersey. Sunrun, Freedom Forever, and SunPower all have significant NJ footprints and complaint histories. And New Jersey gives homeowners one of the most powerful legal arsenals in the country to fight back.
The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act
The NJ Consumer Fraud Act is one of the most powerful consumer protection statutes in the United States. It prohibits unconscionable commercial practices, deception, fraud, false pretense, misrepresentation, and knowing concealment in connection with the sale of merchandise or real estate. For solar consumers, this covers false savings projections, undisclosed escalator clauses, misrepresented incentive benefits, and aggressive sales tactics that induced signing based on false information.
The remedies under the NJCFA are extraordinary: actual damages, automatically trebled to triple the actual amount, plus mandatory attorney fees for successful plaintiffs. This means New Jersey consumer attorneys actively take NJCFA solar cases on contingency — you may be able to pursue your claim at no upfront cost.
