FASTIf you're a homeowner in Illinois who was misled into a solar contract, you have options. Illinois law provides consumer protections that may allow you to cancel your agreement and get out from under a bad deal.
Your Rescission Rights in Illinois
Illinois follows the federal FTC Cooling-Off Rule, which gives you 3 business days to cancel any contract signed at your home. During this window, you can cancel for any reason with no penalty by sending written notice via certified mail.
After the Cooling-Off Period
Even after the 3-day window closes, Illinois homeowners may still have grounds for cancellation. Common reasons include: misrepresentation of savings, undisclosed escalation clauses, failure to obtain proper permits, and violations of Illinois consumer protection statutes.
Filing Complaints in Illinois
Illinois homeowners can file complaints with the Illinois Attorney General's office, the Better Business Bureau, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Filing with multiple agencies creates a stronger paper trail and increases pressure on the solar company.
