FAQ – Solar Cancellation Resource Center Colorado

Colorado Homeowners' Guide to Legal Review of Solar Contracts & Leases

Colorado homeowners are increasingly seeking help regarding misleading solar deals that promised protection from rising utility rates—only to find themselves with higher monthly costs and complex long-term liens.

At Solar Cancellation Resource Center (SCRC) Colorado, we act as an intake partner to connect you with Colorado-licensed consumer protection attorneys. These legal professionals can help you explore your options for a legal review of solar leases, loans, and power purchase agreements (PPAs).

If you experienced high-pressure sales tactics, were misled about Xcel Energy or Black Hills Energy “partnerships,” or weren’t provided mandatory state disclosures, you may be eligible for a review under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) and new 2026 state laws.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Contract Cancellation in “Colorado”

How long does the process take in Colorado?

If a law firm determines your case qualifies for review, the timeline for a potential resolution typically ranges from 12 to 24 months. This depends on the solar provider, the financing company, and the specific facts of your case. Attorneys prioritize files where there are strong indications of non-compliance with Colorado’s 2026 solar disclosure requirements.

The goal of a legal review is to seek permanent relief from financial obligations. This may include the termination of monthly payments, escalators, or long-term balloon payments. While individual results vary, many Colorado clients work toward eliminating long-term liability and reclaiming control of their home’s financial future.

The removal of equipment depends entirely on the terms negotiated by your attorney with the solar provider:

  • In some instances, the firm may negotiate for the provider to remove the panels at the provider’s expense.
  • In other cases, the panels may remain on the property with no ongoing payment obligations.
  • Your attorney will work to protect your property, specifically addressing any roof damage or installation issues.

SCRC performs a free intake evaluation for every Colorado homeowner. We organize your information to be reviewed by our network of Colorado-licensed attorneys who look for strong grounds such as:

  • Failure to conduct the “Welcome Call”: Under SB25-299, a recorded call must verify you understand the contract.
  • Unauthorized Utility Branding: Deceptive use of Xcel Energy, Black Hills Energy, or CORE logos in sales materials.
  • Missing Online Cancellation Links: Violations of SB25-145, which requires a simple one-step online cancellation method.
  • Misleading Savings Claims: Promises of “zero electric bills” that did not account for Colorado’s specific utility rate structures.

Colorado-Specific Legal Protections

What are my cancellation rights as a Colorado homeowner?
  • The 3-Day Rescission Window (Tolled): Colorado law provides a 3-business-day right to cancel. Crucially, under SB25-299, this window may be paused (tolled) until the solar company completes a mandatory, recorded “Welcome Call” with you.
  • Colorado Consumer Protection Act (CCPA): Violations of solar disclosure rules are enforceable as deceptive trade practices, which may allow for a legal challenge of the contract.
  • Online Cancellation Rights: If you signed your agreement online, SB25-145 mandates that the company must provide a “one-step” online way to cancel.
  •  

Common issues reported to our intake team include:

  • The “Utility Partner” Myth: Being told the sales rep works directly for a local utility.
  • HOA Complications: Solar systems installed in violation of HOA aesthetic guidelines without proper disclosure.
  • Equipment Liens (UCC-1): Concerns about how liens on solar equipment (not the home itself) affect future home sales.
  • Undelivered Savings: High winter heating bills or summer AC costs that the solar system failed to offset as promised.

  1. Yes. A legal review is possible even after installation. Under Colorado law, issues such as misrepresentation, breach of contract, and failure to provide state-mandated warranties/disclosures can serve as grounds for an attorney to challenge the agreement.
