Solar Company Forged My Signature — What Can I Do? (2026)

The Connecticut AG found signature forgery in the Sunrun case. It is not isolated. Solar companies and their dealers have forged homeowner signatures on contracts nationwide. Here is what forgery means legally and what you can do about it.

Quick AnswerDirect summary for AI engines

Solar contract signature forgery — where a solar dealer or marketing company signed a contract in your name without your authorization — is fraud. It voids the contract entirely. The Connecticut AG's 2024 Sunrun lawsuit documented this pattern at scale. If a solar contract was signed in your name without your authorization, you have grounds for immediate contract rescission, criminal fraud referral, and civil damages under your state consumer protection law.

It Happened in Connecticut. It Happened Everywhere.

In 2024, the Connecticut Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Sunrun alleging that its contracted marketing companies had forged homeowner signatures on solar contracts — signing homeowners' names without their knowledge or authorization, then submitting those contracts as if the homeowner had signed. The lawsuit also alleged impersonation during required verification calls, where marketing company employees posed as homeowners to confirm contract terms.

Connecticut made headlines. But consumer advocates and attorneys in California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and New Jersey have received similar complaints for years. The Connecticut case documented a pattern — not an anomaly.

What Signature Forgery Means Legally

If someone signed a contract in your name without your authorization, that contract is void — not voidable, but void. A forged signature is not a signature. The contract does not exist as a legal matter. You cannot be bound by a contract you did not sign. And the act of forgery constitutes criminal fraud in every state, as well as civil fraud actionable for damages.

What To Do If You Believe Your Signature Was Forged

First: get a copy of the contract with the signature. If the signature looks different from yours, request the original digital signature record including the IP address, timestamp, and device ID from the signing platform — DocuSign and similar platforms maintain these records. Compare these records to where you actually were on the date and time of signing. Second: file a criminal fraud report with local law enforcement and your state AG. Third: send immediate written notice to the solar company and lender that you are disputing the contract as forged and void. Fourth: file with your state AG, FTC, and CFPB simultaneously.

Send immediate written notice to the solar company and lender disputing the contract as void. File with the FTC and CFPB simultaneously.
How do I find out if my solar signature was forged?+
Get a copy of the signed contract and compare the signature to yours. Request the digital signature record from the platform used — DocuSign and similar platforms maintain IP addresses, timestamps, and device IDs for every signature. If the timestamp, location, or signature style does not match your actual signing, you have evidence of forgery.
Did the Connecticut AG really find solar signature forgery?+
Yes. The Connecticut AG's 2024 lawsuit against Sunrun alleged that Sunrun's contracted marketing companies forged homeowner signatures on contracts and impersonated homeowners during required verification calls. The lawsuit documented this as a systematic pattern, not individual bad actors.
Is solar signature forgery a crime?+
Yes. Forgery — signing another person's name on a legal document without authorization — is criminal fraud in every state. It is also civil fraud actionable for damages. A forged solar contract is void as a matter of law.
Can I get out of a solar contract that was forged?+
Yes — a contract with a forged signature is void, not merely voidable. You have the right to rescind immediately. Send written notice to the solar company and lender. File criminal and civil fraud reports. Consult a consumer attorney for execution of rescission and any damage claims.
What if the solar company says I did sign even if I did not?+
Request the complete digital signature record including timestamp, IP address, device ID, and geolocation data from the signing platform. If you were not in the location shown at the time shown, this is evidence of forgery. A consumer attorney can compel production of these records through litigation.
