Solar Contract Cancellation Calculator

Estimate remaining payments, escalator growth, and buyout questions on a solar lease, PPA, or loan. Results are informational, not a quote or legal advice.

What the calculator estimates and what it does not

The cancellation calculator is an arithmetic helper. It can illustrate remaining payments, how an escalator grows a lease or PPA over time, and how a stated buyout compares with the payment stream. It is not a quote, not an appraisal, and not legal advice. Inputs that are wrong (term, escalator, current payment, buyout schedule) produce numbers that are merely tidy. Solar Freedom is not a law firm, and a calculated figure does not mean a company will accept it.

Use the tool after you have the actual statement and the contract schedule in hand. Then compare the output with a written payoff or buyout from the named party. If those numbers diverge, that gap is a records issue for an individual review, not a reason to assume the contract is unenforceable.

Records that make an estimate honest

• Current monthly payment, due date, and whether it has already escalated.
• Original term, remaining term, and the escalator percentage if any.
• The buyout or prepayment table from the contract, not a sales verbal.
• A written quote from the company or servicer, with a date.
• Utility bills and production data if you are comparing carrying cost with usage.
• Loan payoff versus lease buyout, clearly labeled so you do not mix them.

Read the calculator beside exit options, loan help, and selling-a-house notes. Request an individual review if you want a specialist to compare your inputs with the documents. Results are informational. Options and any real payoff amount depend on the agreement and the servicer's written figures.

Escalators and remaining term are easy to mistype

A 2.9 percent annual escalator, if that is what your lease or PPA actually says, compounds. Entering the first-year payment as if it were still the current payment will understate the remaining stream. Entering a loan as if it had an escalator will overstate it. Check the anniversary date and the current invoice before you trust a chart. Then export or screenshot the calculator inputs so a reviewer can see what you assumed. Request an individual review if the company's written buyout and the calculator disagree by more than rounding. Disagreement is a prompt to re-read the schedule, not a finding that either number is unlawful.
