How do I get out of a solar contract in Mesa, Arizona?
Short answer
In Mesa, two things decide your position: what Arizona law gave you when you signed, and what Salt River Project credits you for the power your panels send back. Arizona law writes the exit into the disclosures: under A.R.S. After the windows close, the routes are the ones in your own paperwork — which is why the workbooks are built from your documents, not from general advice.
The local picture: power and buyback in Mesa
Salt River Project serves Mesa under a net-billing arrangement: the power your panels export is credited at an export rate below the retail price you pay for power. That gap — not the panels — is where most Arizona savings promises quietly died, and it is visible on your own bill.
Mesa is in Maricopa County. Arizona's solar rules are statewide — the same statute covers every city in this list — but the utility facts above are local, and they are the half of the story most sales pitches skipped.
What Arizona law gives Mesa homeowners
Arizona law writes the exit into the disclosures: under A.R.S. section 44-1763, a solar agreement's disclosures must include a separately acknowledged right to rescind for not less than three business days after signing and before installation, and the home-solicitation rule separately runs to midnight of the third business day. After that, the contract controls.
Complaints about an Arizona solar sale go to the Arizona Attorney General's consumer protection division and the Registrar of Contractors, in writing, with the contract, disclosures, and statements attached.
The full breakdown — the statute, the disclosure document, the enforcement history — is on the Arizona page.
Documents to gather
- The §44-1763 disclosure pages — signed, dated, and separately acknowledged, or not
- Your full agreement, including the pages stating total price, fees, and the payment schedule
- Any page where a warranty shorter than the agreement term is set out
- The proposal and savings estimate you were sold from
- Loan, lease, or PPA statements, oldest to newest
- If your system is Sunrun or Vivint: any complaint you have filed, and the response
Questions to ask a licensed attorney
We are not a law firm, and this page is general information, not legal advice. These are the questions your paperwork raises that a licensed attorney in Arizona can answer for your situation:
- My agreement’s disclosures were never separately acknowledged — what follows under Arizona law?
- Am I eligible under the Sunrun consent agreement, and how do I file a complaint that qualifies under it?
- The agreement had blank spaces in it when I signed — what does Arizona law say about that?

Why do I still get an electric bill in Mesa when I have solar panels?
Salt River Project serves Mesa under a net-billing arrangement: the power your panels export is credited at an export rate below the retail price you pay for power. That gap — not the panels — is where most Arizona savings promises quietly died, and it is visible on your own bill. A solar loan, lease, or PPA payment is separate from the electric bill in every arrangement: the panels reduce what you buy, they do not erase the bill or the financing.
