There's a 3-day window to cancel a door-to-door sale — but even if that passed, you may still have ways to unwind the deal. Here's what to know.

If you signed a solar deal at your home and immediately regretted it, the first thing to know is that Florida and federal law give you a short window to cancel — and even if that window has passed, it may not be your only option.

Under Florida's Home Solicitation Sale Act and the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule, sales made at your home generally come with a 3-business-day right to cancel, in writing, with no penalty. The seller is supposed to tell you about this right and give you the forms.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to cancel a Florida solar contract?

Door-to-door sales generally carry a 3-business-day right to cancel under Florida's Home Solicitation Sale Act and the FTC Cooling-Off Rule. The seller must notify you of that right — and if they didn't, or if loan disclosures were improper, your options may extend much longer.

Can I still get out of a solar loan after the 3 days?

Possibly. The Truth in Lending Act can extend rescission rights up to 3 years where disclosures were improper, and deceptive-practices and Holder Rule claims aren't limited to the 3-day window. An attorney can assess your specific situation.
