Call the Solar Cancellation Resource Center at for a free triage: contract type, deadlines, transfer or buyout path, and UCC release checklist. Quick note: This guide is educational, not legal or tax advice. Solar contracts vary by provider and state. Under the Federal Trade Commission's Cooling-Off Rule, consumers may have a right to cancel certain door-to-door sales of $25 or more. This rule generally applies to sales, leases, or rentals of consumer goods or services personally solicited by a seller at a place other than their permanent place. Canceling a solar panel contract can be a carefully navigated process governed by state laws, contract terms, and industry best practices. This guide explains how to cancel effectively, what rights and obligations may apply, and practical steps to minimize costs while protecting consumer interests.
