The short answer: Michigan’s Home Solicitation Sales Act, MCL 445.112, gives buyers until midnight of the third business day after signing to cancel, and a mailed notice counts when it’s deposited in a mailbox. Sellers can’t send a courier or third party to pick up your payment until the cancellation period ends, and until the seller complies with the notice rules, you can cancel in any manner and by any means.
Key takeaways
- Three business days under MCL 445.112.
- Mailed notices count when deposited.
- No courier payment pickups during the window.
- A Michigan seller that skips the notice rules can't hold you to the deadline.

Solar Cancellation HQ is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. This page is general information, and reading it or submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship. Not every contract qualifies, and no outcome is guaranteed. We never advise anyone to stop making payments on a solar loan, lease or PPA. Laws and utility rules change, so verify before acting.
