Overview
Solar disputes are usually not about one sentence in one document. They are about the story of the sale, the financing, the paperwork, the installation, and what the homeowner was told along the way.
What an arbitration clause does
Many solar agreements require disputes to be handled in private arbitration instead of court. That can affect procedure, cost, timing, discovery, and leverage.
What it does not do
An arbitration clause does not automatically erase every claim or make every sales practice lawful. It changes the forum where disputes may be handled, but the underlying facts and defenses still matter.
Why review is important
The exact wording matters: who can enforce it, what claims it covers, what rules apply, whether class claims are waived, and whether any state or federal limits apply.
Documents to collect
Save the full agreement, all e-signature records, any arbitration addendum, lender terms, and any notices you received about dispute procedures.
