Idaho solar cancellation rights
3 business days for home solicitation sales (Idaho Code § 28-43-402, until midnight of the third business day after signing). The Residential Solar Energy System Disclosure Act (§§ 48-1801–48-1807, 2019) adds disclosure duties but no additional rescission period — it does, however, make undisclosed terms a built-in attack surface. FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) also applies.
