Contract notes

Enforcement watch: No Delaware AG solar-company enforcement action 2024-2026 found. (DE was among venues listed in Vision Solar's multi-state bankruptcy litigation, not a new DE AG action.)

What to do next in Delaware

  1. Read your contract's cancellation clause tonight. Compare it against the state window: 3 business days — 6 Del. C. §§ 4401–4408 (Home Solicitation Sales Act; § 4404: buyer may cancel before midnight of the third business day; $25+ door-to-door sales); plus FTC Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR Part 429 (3 business days, ≥$25 home sales).
  2. If the company never gave you a cancellation form, your federal 3-day clock may never have started — that's the loophole in our cooling-off guide.
  3. Past the window? Shift to the complaint path: where to file, and check whether savings were misrepresented (guide).
Get the notice written for you. The $39 SolarEscape Kit generates a cancellation letter citing 6 Del. C. §§ 4401–4408 (Home Solicitation Sales Act), 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.
