Contract notes

DSIRE analysis (July 2025) lists Minnesota among states where residential third-party PPAs are either restricted or have no known offerings.

Enforcement watch: Apr 2024: AG Keith Ellison sued GoodLeap, Sunlight Financial, Solar Mosaic, and Dividend Solar Finance — alleged ~$35M in hidden dealer fees baked into financed residential solar prices (over $200M in projects 2017–2023); seeks injunction, finance-charge disclosures, refunds, and civil penalties. 2022 (background): suit against Brio Solar Energy, Bello Solar, Avolta Power, and Sunny Renewable for door-to-door deception (~400 homeowners). MN co-led the Oct 2025 multistate Solar for All suit against EPA.

What to do next in Minnesota

  1. Check your deadline today. Minnesota gives you: Until midnight of the third business day after the home solicitation sale occurs — Minn. Stat. § 325G.07 (home solicitation sales, Ch. 325G). FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) applies nationwide: 3 business days for door-to-door sales of $25+.
  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 Minn. Stat. §§ 325G.06–325G.10 — home solicitation sales (3-business-day cancellation; written/oral notice requirements), 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.
