Solar Contract Forged Signature — What to Do in 2026 (Complete Guide)

On March 17, 2026, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a $275 million lawsuit against the solar company Attyx (formerly SUNco). Buried in the complaint is an allegation that, if you read it closely, changes everything about how anyone should think about tablet-signed solar contracts in America:

"Attyx repeatedly obtained consumers' electronic signatures… without first providing the consumer with copies of the agreements they were signing."

"On occasion, sales staff simply forged consumers' e-signatures on the agreements."

Legal Aid Society attorneys, investigating independently, came to the same conclusion about their clients' contracts. In one CBS News New York case, a 76-year-old woman named Claver Campbell's e-signature appeared on documents she said she never signed. The lawyer reviewing her case put it simply: "We believe those signatures were forged."

If you have a solar contract you did not fully see, signed on a tablet you could not read clearly, or that shows signatures that do not look quite like yours — you may have a contract that never legally existed. And a non-existent contract cannot be enforced. Ever.

Stick with me. I'll walk you through how to actually identify a forged or manipulated e-signature, why forgery is the strongest possible cancellation claim, what the evidence looks like in real cases, and — toward the bottom — the two outcomes we typically get for homeowners with forged-signature claims. This is one of the most powerful legal positions a solar customer can be in.

Why Forged Signatures Are the Strongest Possible Claim

Most solar cancellation cases involve misrepresentation — the sales rep said one thing, the contract said another, and you have to prove the gap. That works, but it is a fight.

A forged-signature claim is categorically different. If your signature was forged:

• The contract is void ab initio — treated as if it never existed
• There is no contract to misrepresent around
• There is no contract to enforce
• There is no valid lender relationship, because the lender's loan is secured by an invalid agreement
• Full restitution and contract cancellation are the standard remedies

You are not arguing about whether the salesman said your bill would be zero. You are arguing that you never signed the thing. That is a categorically stronger legal position, and courts and settlement negotiators treat it as such.

The Four Signatures Patterns That Signal Forgery

Pattern #1: Signatures That Do Not Match Your Actual Signature

The most obvious. Compare the e-signature on your contract to your actual signature on other documents — driver's license, bank signature card, tax returns, handwritten checks. Look for:

• Slant direction (right-leaning, vertical, left-leaning)
• Letter spacing and proportions
• Starting and ending stroke shapes
• Whether your signature typically includes a middle initial, and whether the e-signature does
• Pressure-mimicking artifacts (real signatures have natural variation in stroke weight; forgeries often do not)

If the signature on your contract is cleaner, more uniform, or structurally different from your actual signature style — document it with side-by-side photos.

Pattern #2: Inconsistent Signatures Across Contract Pages

A multi-page contract signed by the same person at the same time should have consistent signatures across pages. When different pages show materially different signature characteristics — different slant, different letter formation, different spacing — it suggests someone else signed at least some of the pages.

The NY AG's Attyx complaint references exactly this pattern: reps "forged consumers' e-signatures on the agreements" page-by-page when they needed to.

Pattern #3: Initials in Places You Do Not Remember Initialing

Many solar contracts require initials on specific clauses — escalator disclosures, arbitration waivers, tax credit acknowledgments. If you find initials on clauses you do not remember initialing, or on pages you do not remember seeing at all, that is evidence of post-signing tampering.

Pattern #4: Tablet Signing Artifacts

Real tablet-captured signatures contain natural artifacts — slight tremors, variable pressure, natural curve variations. Forged tablet signatures (especially those generated by software or re-traced by a sales rep) often lack these artifacts. Some forensic examiners can detect the difference with high accuracy.

What Was Happening in the Attyx Cases — And Why It Applies Nationwide

The NY AG's complaint describes a specific methodology. Sales reps would arrive at elderly or low-income homeowners' houses, often after a social media lead. They would explain the "government program" or "free solar" pitch. They would ask the homeowner to tap on a tablet to acknowledge various things — often presented as inventory-taking or ID verification, not as signing a contract.

Some of those taps became signatures. Some were applied to pages the homeowner never saw. In some cases, per the AG complaint, sales staff "simply forged consumers' e-signatures on the agreements" when they needed additional signatures to complete the paperwork.

This methodology is not unique to Attyx. Similar tablet-based e-signature workflows are used by:

• Sunrun (now under Texas AG investigation)
• Freedom Forever (Texas AG + Chapter 11 bankruptcy)
• Momentum Solar
• Vivint Solar
• Hundreds of smaller dealer-network installers

If you signed any solar contract on a tablet — particularly if the rep held the tablet, controlled the pace, or rushed you through — there is a real possibility that what you remember signing does not match what is actually on your contract.

The Lender Angle — Why Your Loan Is Also At Risk

When your solar contract is void for forgery, your solar loan is also in serious trouble. Here is why:

Your solar loan was issued on the assumption that a valid sale occurred. The loan document references the underlying purchase agreement. If the purchase agreement is void for forgery, the loan loses its underlying consideration — the thing you were supposedly buying. Under contract law, this generally renders the loan unenforceable as well.

Beyond that, the FTC Holder Rule makes the lender subject to the same claims you have against the seller. A forgery claim against the installer flows directly to Mosaic, GoodLeap, Sunlight, Dividend, or whichever lender funded your loan. (Cancel a Mosaic loan.) (Cancel a GoodLeap loan.)

The NY AG directly sued Solar Mosaic and WebBank alongside Attyx — establishing that the lenders are not protected from liability when the underlying contract involves fraud. (Full NY AG breakdown.)

What You Can Do This Week

1. Gather evidence. Complete the Evidence Checklist above. This is 30 minutes of work that could be the difference between a cancelled contract and 25 years of payments.

2. Do not contact the solar company or the lender. Any affirming communication — "I am trying to work this out" — can be used to claim you ratified the contract. Silence is the right legal strategy until you have a specialist on your side.

3. File a complaint with your state AG. In New York, this joins the active Attyx case. In Texas, California, Connecticut, and other active-enforcement states, your complaint joins ongoing investigations.

4. File a CFPB complaint about the lender. The CFPB has supervisory authority over the largest solar lenders and takes forgery allegations very seriously.

5. Get a free case review.

Here Is What Actually Happens When We Take Your Case

We are not a referral mill. We review every case before we take it. If you meet the criteria — and most homeowners reading an article like this one do — here is what typically happens:

Outcome #1: Your contract gets completely canceled. You keep the system.

Read that again. That $30,000 loan, that $80,000 loan, that $150,000 loan — gone. Wiped. And the equipment on your roof? You keep it. It is yours. Hire a local electrician or solar tech to clean it up and tie it in properly, and you have got a functioning solar system for the cost of a service call.

Not a typo. That is the best-case outcome, and it is what we push for on every case we accept.

Outcome #2: Your loan gets massively reduced. Typically 40% to 60%.

Every case is different, but the pattern is consistent:

• A $150,000 loan knocked down to around $75,000
• A $70,000 loan cut to $35,000
• A $175,000 loan restructured to something you can actually live with

If we cannot completely kill the contract, we fight like hell to get the principal slashed — and we have a track record of doing it.

If we take your case and cannot deliver either outcome?

You get 40% of your fee back after we have exhausted every angle. That is our guarantee, in writing. Nobody else in this space puts that on paper. We do — because we only take cases we believe in.

The Bottom Line

A forged solar contract signature is one of the most legally powerful facts a homeowner can have. It transforms a difficult misrepresentation argument into a clean contract-void argument. It implicates the lender alongside the installer. It activates state consumer protection statutes, federal lending laws, and — in 2026 — ongoing state AG investigations that have specifically cited forgery as a documented pattern.

If your solar contract shows signature irregularities, if the rep rushed you through a tablet at a pace you could not follow, if you never received full copies of what you signed — do not dismiss it as a communication failure. It may be evidence of something much more legally actionable.

Get a free case review. The worst case is you find out your signatures are authentic and the contract is what it is. The best case — which is more common than anyone admits — is that you discover you are not actually bound by the contract at all.
