The traps solar buyers miss most.
We've reviewed thousands of solar contracts. These are the costly clauses homeowners regularly sign without realizing.
Price escalators
PPA rates that rise 2–4% every year, often buried in an appendix and compounding to thousands in extra cost.
Missing production guarantees
No promise on how much energy your system will produce — leaving you on the hook if the panels underperform.
Vague roof warranties
Workmanship promises with no duration, or exclusions that void coverage if another contractor touches your roof.
Prepayment penalties
Fees for paying off a solar loan or buying out a lease early — sometimes thousands of dollars.
System ownership confusion
Lease vs. PPA vs. loan — unclear language on who owns the panels, the roof attachments, and the SRECs.
Transfer & buyout traps
Clauses that make selling your home difficult, or require a lump-sum buyout the next owner won't accept.
From the first quote to the final signature.
Plain-English summaries
Every clause translated. Know your rate, escalator, guarantee, and buyout terms at a glance.

"ClickSabi found a 2.9% annual escalator buried on page 18 of our solar contract. We renegotiated and saved $4,800 over the life of the agreement."
