Kia Love didn’t set out to fight the solar industry.
In 2016, she was a single mom in Florida, living on a fixed income as a disabled Army veteran. Solar was pitched to her as a clean-energy upgrade that would do something simple and immediate: erase her electric bill.
Instead, she says it doubled her payments.
Now, almost a decade later, Love is trying to sell her home and says a filing tied to her solar loan is making that harder. Meanwhile, some of the biggest solar lenders in the country have filed for bankruptcy, raising a question consumers across Florida are now asking: If the company that financed your solar goes under… what happens to your loan, and what happens to your home?
