Check Your Solar Contract for These 4 Key Requirements Before You Sign

June 09, 20254 min read

Thinking about going solar but worried about getting stuck in a bad contract? You’re not alone. Thousands of homeowners across the U.S. find themselves trapped in solar contracts with hidden fees, missing disclosures, or unfair terms.

At SolarContractExit.com, powered by Contract Freedom USA, we help homeowners nationwide understand their contracts, fight back, and regain financial freedom.

If you’re reviewing a solar contract — or already signed one — this guide will help you spot the 4 key requirements every solar contract should include. Don’t sign until you’re sure your rights are protected.

Why Checking Your Solar Contract Matters
A well-written solar contract should protect you as the buyer — not just the solar company. Unfortunately, many contracts are designed to lock you into decades of payments, hidden fees, and unexpected obligations. By reviewing your contract for key requirements, you can avoid costly mistakes and potential financial stress.

4 Key Requirements to Check in Your Solar Contract

1. Written Warranty and Performance Data
Your solar contract should include a clear, written statement of the warranty — detailing what’s covered, for how long, and under what circumstances. It should also disclose performance data, like expected energy output, system efficiency, and maintenance requirements. Missing warranty or performance details can leave you with no recourse if the system underperforms.

2. Buyer’s Signature on the Contract
A contract is only valid if it’s signed by the buyer. If your signature is missing or incomplete, the agreement may be unenforceable. Always verify that your signature is on the final version of the contract.

3. No Blank Material Terms
If a contract contains blank spaces for essential terms — such as pricing, system description, or installation details — it may be considered “voidable” by the buyer. That means you can choose to cancel it without penalty.

4. Disclosure of Tax Incentives and Obligations
Your contract should clearly state any tax incentives, rebates, or obligations you may be eligible for or responsible for. Missing these disclosures could violate federal or state consumer protection laws, giving you a legal path to exit the contract.

Can You Cancel Your Solar Contract?
A contract that fails to meet these requirements might be considered “voidable” by law. A voidable contract means the buyer (you) can choose to cancel it without penalty — or choose to abide by it. A “void” contract, on the other hand, is invalid from the start.

Is My Solar Contract Enforceable?
Even if your contract is missing some requirements, a court might still enforce it under the doctrine of “substantial compliance.” For example, a contract written in 9.5-point font instead of 10-point font might still be considered valid. However, if your contract is missing multiple key disclosures — like warranty terms, tax credits, and maintenance costs — you could have a strong case for cancellation.

What If My Contract is Missing Multiple Requirements?
The more essential clauses missing, the closer you are to an unenforceable agreement. Missing warranty details, absent tax disclosures, and hidden fees can all add up to a strong case to exit your solar contract.
