Free Solar Contract Review
Free, confidential review. Takes about 60 seconds.
Your information is private and handled as described in our privacy policy.
The short answer: If a solar seller signed you up at your home, the FTC Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR Part 429, required specific paperwork and an oral notice of your right to cancel. The checklist below separates those federal requirements from good-practice disclosures that often reveal a misrepresented sale. Your state may require more; check your state’s rules. Nothing you check is saved.
Key takeaways
- The first section covers federal requirements.
- The second covers common disclosure problems.
- State law may add more requirements.
- Missing items are worth a review.
- The checklist is private.

A complete file doesn't end the story
Consumer protection laws look at what you were told, not just what you signed. A contract can include every required page and still have been sold with false promises.

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.
