If the system is not fully described and specified in a contract or brochure you may occasionally have grounds to say i want to cancel this overpriced impulsive solar contract or order and achieve your desired cancellation.
How do i get out of solar panel contract.
You can pay for a solar energy system outright or take out a solar loan.
I signed a contract to get solar panels installed but we got orders to move out of state.
Most solar leasing companies do include a buyout period and price in their agreement.
Check your contract for it.
Cancel the cheque if that is what you paid by.
Like buying a new car you select from a range of features offered by a solar installer who s then responsible for fulfilling your order.
Most solar panel leases do include a buyout clause.
You may be able to transfer the lease to the new homeowner buy out the remainder of the lease and have the system removed or purchase the solar panel system at market value and leave it on your roof.
4 other things to do can be.
You should contact a local contract business attorney.
If were given information that was knowingly false and you did not have an obligation to very the information then you may be able to void the contract.
However that might not always be the case.
Generally speaking you must have a meeting of the minds to have a valid contract.
When you re selling a home with a leased solar panel system on the roof there are options outside of canceling the leasing arrangement.
The number of solar loan options has steadily grown in the last few years.
You may have one two or all three of these options available depending on the leasing agreement you signed.
In this case you can prepay the balance on the remaining lease and have the solar panels either removed or left on the house.
Theoretically the current owner could sell for a higher price and remain solely responsible for the solar system contract but you would never do that because i would bet that part of the solar system contract grants the solar system company a lien on the house to secure payment of the contract in whcih case it could foreclose on your house if the current owner failed to pay.
But it s often a set amount and the leasing company is often unwilling to budge on it.
The solar panels have not been installed yet and i called to cancel and they said their panels are specifically designed for our house and are being made right now so if we cancel we have to pay for what they have done already.
Usually a buyout is allowed after 5 to 7 years of the lease.
