Missouri solar cancellation rights
No Missouri home-solicitation cooling-off statute found — the FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) is the operative right: 3 business days to cancel door-to-door sales of $25+ made at the buyer's home or other non-business locations. (Missouri's only statutory rescission periods cover timeshares — RSMo 407.620, 5 days — and similar narrow categories, not solar/home-improvement contracts.)
The law
- RSMo ch. 407 — Merchandising Practices Act (unfair/deceptive practices; NO general home-solicitation cooling-off provision)
- RSMo 407.620 — 5-day rescission for timeshare plans (not solar; cited to show the narrow scope of Missouri rescission statutes)
Contract notes
DSIRE analysis (July 2025) lists Missouri among states where residential third-party PPAs are either restricted or have no known offerings. Missouri courts have ruled homeowners may install solar outside HOA guidelines (Missouri Supreme Court).
What to do next in Missouri
- Cancellation windows here are narrow. No Missouri home-solicitation cooling-off statute found — the FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) is the operative right: 3 business days to cancel door-to-door sales of $25+ made at the buyer's home or other non-business locations. (Missouri's only statutory rescission periods cover timeshares — RSMo 407.620, 5 days — and similar narrow categories, not solar/home-improvement contracts.)
- Your leverage is complaints + misrepresentation claims. File with the AG and FTC (how), and document any savings promises that didn't materialize (guide).
- Installer bankrupt? See the bankrupt-installer guide — warranty, loan, and lien are three separate problems.

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.
