Consumer Contract Researcher at Solar Exit Plan

About Josh

Josh Bajer is a consumer contract researcher at Solar Exit Plan. Josh reviews the site’s guides on solar leases, power purchase agreements, solar loans, and solar cancellation.

Josh focuses on the parts of a solar agreement homeowners tend to miss. That includes escalator clauses, transfer terms, buyout formulas, dealer fees, and UCC-1 fixture filings.

Each guide Josh reviews is checked against public sources, such as federal consumer guidance and state regulator publications. Where the answer depends on the contract or the state, the guide says so.

How Josh Reviews a Guide

Every guide follows the editorial standards described on the Solar Exit Plan methodology page. In practice, a review covers four checks.

Source check: Rules and deadlines are confirmed against the agency that publishes them, such as the FTC or a state regulator.
Contract check: Explanations match how lease, PPA, and loan agreements are actually written.
Limits check: The guide states where outcomes vary by contract, provider, or state.
Update check: Guides are revised when a rule, deadline, or program changes.

Please note: Solar Exit Plan guides are educational and are not legal advice. Every solar agreement is different, and no guide can promise a specific outcome.
