The short answer: Under La. R.S. 9:3538, Louisiana consumers can cancel a home solicitation sale until midnight of the third business day after signing, and a mailed notice counts when deposited. Section 9:3539 requires a statement under the caption “CONSUMER’S RIGHT TO CANCEL,” and until the seller complies, you may cancel by any means.

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.
