Arizona solar cancellation rights

Not less than 3 business days after signing AND before the system is installed — a statutory right of rescission that must be a separately-acknowledged provision in every residential solar financing, sale, or lease agreement (A.R.S. § 44-1763). FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) also applies.

The law

  • A.R.S. § 44-1763 (distributed energy generation system sale/lease agreement requirements: signed and dated, ≥10-point type, 3-business-day rescission right, equipment description/warranty disclosures; blank-space agreements voidable by buyer until installation)
  • A.R.S. § 33-439 (HOA solar restrictions void)
  • FTC Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR Part 429

Contract notes

Statute expressly covers financing, sale, AND lease of distributed energy generation systems. Agreements with material blank spaces at signing are voidable at the buyer's option until installation. A 2026 bill (SB 1419) amending § 44-1763 keeps the 3-business-day floor.

Enforcement watch: No AG consumer-enforcement action on residential solar sales located for 2024–2026. (AG Kris Mayes co-led the Oct 2025 multistate suit against EPA over Solar for All termination — a federal-funding dispute, not a residential-sales enforcement action.)

What to do next in Arizona

  1. Check your deadline today. Arizona gives you: Not less than 3 business days after signing AND before the system is installed — a statutory right of rescission that must be a separately-acknowledged provision in every residential solar financing, sale, or lease agreement (A.R.S. § 44-1763). FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) also applies.
  2. Send written notice before it expires. Certified mail, return receipt. Keep a copy of everything.
  3. Don't let them talk you out of it. "Wait and see" is how windows close. You can always re-sign later.
Get the notice written for you. The $39 SolarEscape Kit generates a cancellation letter citing A.R.S. § 44-1763 (distributed energy generation system sale/lease agreement requirements: signed and dated, ≥10-point type, 3-business-day rescission right, equipment description/warranty disclosures; blank-space agreements voidable by buyer until installation), with your dates filled in — plus the complaint kit and bankrupt-installer playbook.
Not legal advice. This tool provides general information based on state statutes and the FTC Cooling-Off Rule as of October 2026. Laws change and every contract is different. For advice about your specific situation, talk to a consumer attorney or your state attorney general's office. We can't promise you can cancel — nobody can. What we do: tell you where the cancellation windows are, and what to do when they're closed.
