The short answer: Under 9 V.S.A. § 2454, Vermont consumers can cancel a home solicitation sale until midnight of the third business day after the transaction. Until the seller provides the required notice, you may cancel by any means. If the sale was negotiated mainly in a language other than English, the disclosures must be in that language, and a seller that performed services before a cancellation gets no compensation for them.
Key takeaways
- Three business days under 9 V.S.A. § 2454.
- No compliant notice means you can cancel by any means.
- Disclosures in the language of the sale.
- No pay for services performed before cancellation.

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.
