ARBITRATION
Arbitration support for solar disputes
Most solar leases, PPAs, and loans include an arbitration clause. That means disputes are decided by a neutral arbitrator in a private process instead of a public trial. We help you understand that process and support your case through it.
What arbitration is, briefly
Arbitration is a private way to resolve a dispute. Each side presents its documents and explanation to a neutral arbitrator, who issues a decision. Hearings are often held by video or phone, or decided on documents alone. Many solar agreements name a specific arbitration provider and set rules for who pays which fees.
Our role
We organize your evidence into a clear case file: the agreement, sales materials, bills, production data, photos, and a timeline. We keep track of deadlines and keep you informed. Your case in arbitration is presented by independent, licensed counsel that you choose to retain, and we support that counsel with organized documentation.
What to expect
- Review of the arbitration clause, including the provider, rules, location, and any opt-out deadline.
- Formal demand and good-faith negotiation, which often resolves cases before arbitration begins.
- Filing, if needed, by your independent counsel under the provider's consumer rules.
- Exchange of documents and a hearing or document review.
- The arbitrator's decision, which is usually final and binding.
Good to know
Under the major arbitration providers' consumer rules, the business often pays most of the provider's fees, but every agreement is different. We'll explain what yours says.
