I Signed on a Tablet and Didn't Understand the Solar Loan

Part of the complete guide: Failed Solar in Florida: The Complete Homeowner's Guide →
So much of the solar mess starts the same way: a salesperson at the kitchen table, a tablet, and a handful of quick taps to 'finish up.' You never got a clear copy, never read the fine print, and didn't really understand you were signing a 25-year loan. That's not just bad luck — it can matter legally.
The tablet-signing problem
- Documents were rushed past you, with the salesperson tapping through screens.
- You never received complete copies of everything you 'signed.'
- In some cases, signatures or initials were applied for you — or completion certificates were signed before the work was done.
Forged or rushed completion certificates are a big deal: lenders often release money to the installer based on them. If yours was signed before the system worked, that strengthens a Holder Rule claim.
What to do
- Request complete copies of every document from the lender and installer.
- Compare the dates on any completion or 'system operational' certificate to when the system actually worked (if ever).
- Document anything you didn't sign or didn't understand, and talk to an attorney.

Frequently asked questions
I didn't understand the solar contract I signed on a tablet — can I do anything?
Possibly. Get complete copies of everything, document what was rushed or never explained, and check whether any completion certificate was signed before the system worked. These facts support deceptive-practices and Holder Rule claims. Talk to an attorney.
What if my signature was forged on the solar paperwork?
A forged signature is serious and can undermine the contract and the lender's funding of the installer. Document it carefully and bring it to a Florida attorney right away.
