What you need+
  • A recent residential solar purchase, lease, PPA, or related agreement for personal, family, or household use
  • A qualifying FTC Cooling-Off Rule transaction or a written, still-open contract cancellation right that accepts mail
  • No installation work has started
  • Exactly one required signer and no original, notary, in-person, portal-only, or physical-return requirement
  • The exact cancellation recipient and address plus controlling contract pages
  • Controlling solar agreement pages (required) — Upload copies of the pages showing the cancellation right or notice, deadline, required signer(s), accepted method, and exact cancellation address. Do not upload originals.

Where it gets mailed+

Enter the recipient address during checkout.

Packet order+
  • Signed solar contract cancellation notice
  • Controlling contract pages uploaded by the buyer
Common mistakes+
  • Assuming every solar sale has a three-day cancellation right regardless of where or how it was sold.
  • Counting Sunday or a federal holiday as an FTC Cooling-Off Rule business day.
  • Mailing to a sales representative or lender when the agreement names a different cancellation recipient.
  • Waiting until provider production time leaves no margin before the deadline.
  • Using a generic letter when another buyer must sign or the contract requires another form or submission method.
FAQs+
Does every solar contract have a three-day cancellation period?

No. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule covers qualifying in-person sales at a home, workplace, or temporary sales location and has important exclusions. A contract may separately provide a cancellation right. This workflow requires the user to identify a supported lane.

Can an agent or API use this product?

Yes. The published workflow exposes the same fields, required contract attachment, Certified Mail rule, and compliance policy through PostalForm's forms catalog, Forms API, machine-order, MPP, and MCP surfaces.

Can I use it after installation starts?

No. This workflow is only for projects where installation has not started. Site work, financing disputes, fraud claims, lien issues, or post-installation remedies require another path.

Can I send a lender copy too?

This version creates one cancellation mailpiece to the contract-directed seller or cancellation address. A lender copy is not treated as a substitute for notice to the seller.
