Deceptive Sales Practices
Sunrun's commission-based sales reps present energy savings projections that often substantially overstate actual savings -- built on utility rate increase assumptions that may not materialize and solar production estimates not reflecting individual roof conditions. Some reps implied federal tax credits would reduce lease costs when they only benefit system owners, not lessees.
UCC Filing and Home Sale Problems
Sunrun files a UCC-1 financing statement on leased-panel homes. This can complicate home sales because buyers may need to assume the lease or Sunrun may demand a buyout of tens of thousands before releasing the encumbrance. Plaintiffs allege this was not adequately disclosed at signing.
Who Qualifies
Homeowners who signed Sunrun leases based on inflated savings projections, were not informed about the UCC filing, or experienced unexpected obstacles to home sale because of their lease may have consumer protection claims.
Status 2026
Sunrun class action litigation is active in multiple states. No comprehensive settlement has been announced.
