The short answer: Connecticut’s Home Solicitation Sales Act gives buyers three days to cancel, and it expressly covers sales made in response to or following an invitation by the buyer. Refunds are due within ten business days, and if the seller doesn’t reclaim delivered goods within 20 days, you may keep them; see the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. Violations are also unfair trade practices under CUTPA.
Key takeaways
- Three days to cancel home solicitation sales.
- Invited sales are still covered.
- Refunds within ten business days.
- Violations are unfair trade practices under CUTPA.

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.
