Utah solar cancellation rights

FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) — 3 business days for door-to-door sales — PLUS the strongest post-sale cancellation right in this group: under Utah Code § 13-52-207 (HB 215, 2024; amended HB 57, 2025), a solar retailer may not begin installation until 10 days after providing the signed agreement, and a customer may cancel a solar agreement WITHOUT PENALTY, for any reason, up to 15 DAYS AFTER receiving the second monthly electricity bill following installation completion.

The law

  • Utah Code §§ 13-52-101 et seq. (Residential Solar Energy Disclosure Act / Solar Consumer Protection Act; HB 215 (2024), HB 57 (2025))
  • Utah Code § 13-52-207 (customer ability to cancel: 10-day pre-install wait + 15 days after second monthly bill)
  • Utah Code § 13-52-202 (mandatory disclosure statement contents)
  • FTC Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR Part 429

Contract notes

Covers system purchase, system lease, AND power purchase agreements (2025 amendments added PPAs and sales representatives). A solar agreement is not enforceable unless the customer received the signed agreement + disclosures (paper copy). Retailers must register with the state and maintain bonding. Disclosure must state installation cannot begin until 4+ business days after contract (per § 13-52-202) — note the stricter 10-day rule in § 13-52-207 governs.

Enforcement watch: No AG consumer-enforcement action on residential solar sales located for 2024–2026.

What to do next in Utah

  1. Check your deadline today. Utah gives you: FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) — 3 business days for door-to-door sales — PLUS the strongest post-sale cancellation right in this group: under Utah Code § 13-52-207 (HB 215, 2024; amended HB 57, 2025), a solar retailer may not begin installation until 10 days after providing the signed agreement, and a customer may cancel a solar agreement WITHOUT PENALTY, for any reason, up to 15 DAYS AFTER receiving the second monthly electricity bill following installation completion.
  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 Utah Code §§ 13-52-101 et seq. (Residential Solar Energy Disclosure Act / Solar Consumer Protection Act; HB 215 (2024), HB 57 (2025)), 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.
