The short answer: Iowa’s door-to-door sales law, Iowa Code chapter 555A, gives buyers three business days to cancel, and Iowa defines business days to exclude Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Sellers must provide two copies of a Notice of Cancellation in the same language as the contract, tell you about the right out loud and refund within ten business days.
Key takeaways
- Iowa counts only weekdays toward the three-day window.
- Two copies of the Notice of Cancellation.
- Notice in the same language as the contract.
- Refunds within ten business days.

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.
