Customers of a liquidated solar-panel subscription service are complaining they're stuck in expensive contracts.  

SolarZero went into liquidation in 2024, with thousands of customers still on 20-year-agreements.

Now many customers say their power bills are rising more than expected - with no easy solution. 

Customer Rohan Metrani says he has no one to speak to, to cancel his contract. 

"We want to get rid of their system, we're paying for the rental - which isn't really getting us any savings. So it's become more of a liability."
