Your Questions About Solar Panels For Your Home For Sale

Joseph asks…

Vivint solar came to my house and offered to install solar panels on my roof. They gave a great sales pitch and my father signed the contract that allows them to install the solar panels. I was not home.

I’ve now found out they’re a bad company and there are so many tricks within the contract, one being that we have to pay for any generated energy even if we don’t use it.

Fortunately, the contract was signed by my father just yesterday. The contract states that we can cancel with no penalty within 10 days. The thing is, since the salesperson lied about almost everything, I can’t even trust him. If I call him and tell him I want it cancelled, he may just come back in a month and deny it never happened and charge me some stupid fee or something. How do I know FOR SURE that the contract is cancelled?
The cancellation notice says that I can cancel the transaction with the following terms: “To cancel this transaction, mail or deliver a signed and dated copy of this cancellation notice or any other written notice, or send a telegram to ________ not later than midnight of the tenth day after the transaction date”. I will make sure to ask them for a written copy in return and also will send with certified receipt mail. Thank you both!
