Door-to-Door Solar in Orlando: Common Pitches and Who to Call

July 14, 2026 · 6 min read

Part of the complete guide: Failed Solar in Florida: The Complete Homeowner's Guide →

Solar door knockers work Orlando neighborhoods hard — and some of them lie. If you heard "free solar," "government program," or "your utility sent us," this guide is for you. Here is the script they use, the cancellation right Florida gives you, and exactly who to call.

Door-to-door sales are legal, and some solar reps are honest. But door to door solar in Orlando has a dark side. High-pressure closers work neighborhoods from Pine Hills to Azalea Park to Poinciana with one goal: a signature on a tablet before they leave your porch.

Frequently asked questions

Is door to door solar in Orlando always a scam?

No. Some reps work for legitimate companies. But many of the worst deals in Central Florida started with a door knock. Treat 'free solar,' 'government program,' and 'your utility sent us' as warning signs, verify everything with OUC, Duke Energy, or KUA yourself, and never sign the same day.

Can I cancel a solar contract I signed at my door in Florida?

Florida's home-solicitation sale law sets a cancellation window for a sale made at the home, and the contract is supposed to disclose it. Cancel in writing — email and mail — and keep copies. If the seller never told you about this right in the contract, talk to an attorney, because the window may not have legally started.

Who do I report a solar salesman scam to in Orlando?

The Florida Attorney General (FDUTPA complaints), FDACS at 1-800-HELP-FLA, and — where a rep claimed to be sent by the utility — OUC, Duke Energy or KUA. If someone impersonated a utility or government worker, call your local non-emergency police line too.

What if my elderly parent signed a solar contract on a tablet?

Gather everything first: the contract, emails, texts, the rep's name, and the county tax bill. FDUTPA prohibits deceptive sales practices, and Florida Statute 163.086 sets out three circumstances in which a PACE agreement may not be enforceable — they turn on a timely cancellation, on who obtained the recorded agreement, and on how the funding was obtained. Whether either reaches a particular sale is a question for a Florida attorney. Document it. The attorney list is the same for every customer and costs nothing.
