The short answer: Tennessee law gives buyers three business days to cancel a home solicitation sale with written notice to the seller’s address. The seller must tell you about the right at the time of sale, give you two copies of a cancellation form and provide a dated copy of the contract showing its name and address. The federal Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR Part 429, applies too.
Key takeaways
- Three business days for home solicitation sales.
- An oral notice of the right is required.
- Two copies of a cancellation form.
- A dated contract with the seller's name and address.

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.
