FORT MYERS – A Florida resident has filed a class action lawsuit against a solar energy company, alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment after the company failed to install a working solar energy system and honor the warranty terms.

Plaintiff Shoshana Smith filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Lumio, HX and Atlantic Key Energy citing allegations of breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

According to court documents, on September 25, 2021, Smith and her husband contacted the defendants for the installation of a solar energy system at their Florida home. The system was to cost $68,912, and the defendants represented that the system would provide 100 percent of Smith’s energy needs.  Additionally, the defendants represented that the workmanship of the system would be under warranty for 10 years from the date of installation, and the installation also included a 10-year limited roofing penetration warranty to cover the roof against damage and water infiltration.
