Solar contract laws in Virginia

The Virginia laws consumer protection firms look at first in residential solar cases: the state's deceptive practices statute, its door to door sales cancellation law, and any law written for solar sales. General information, not legal advice, with the official source for each.

From official sources, checked October 14, 2026. General information, not legal advice.

Deceptive practices statute

Virginia Consumer Protection Act.

Va. Code 59.1-196 et seq.

Door to door sales cancellation

Virginia's Home Solicitation Sales Act gives 3 business days to cancel consumer sales solicited at a residence without prior invitation or appointment, so appointment based sales may fall outside it; cash sales under $25 are excluded.

Va. Code 59.1-21.3 (Home Solicitation Sales Act)

Solar specific law

From January 1, 2027, residential solar sales, leases and power purchase agreements need a written contract with set terms, written disclosures delivered before signing, and a 5 business day right to cancel without penalty, with fines up to $2,500 per willful violation.

Va. Code 54.1-1117.1 (effective January 1, 2027)
