RCW 19.95 mandates exact disclosures about dealer fees and production projections. If your contract is missing them, it may be unenforceable.
Under RCW 63.14.154. RCW 19.95 has increased oversight of the standard cancellation window. Missing the bolded rescission notice may extend the window significantly.
Washington State has done something most states have not: it passed a specific Solar Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.95) that goes beyond general consumer protection law and addresses the specific deceptions common in solar sales. This law was passed because the legislature recognized that solar contracts are uniquely complex, uniquely long-term, and uniquely vulnerable to misrepresentation. If your company did not follow RCW 19.95 to the letter, your contract may be legally unenforceable.
Under Washington law, if your solar rep conducted the sales presentation in a language other than English — Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Russian, Cantonese — the written contract must be provided in that same language before you sign. This is not a suggestion. It is a legal requirement. If you were handed an English contract after a Spanish-language sales presentation, the contract may be voidable.
Washington law only requires utilities to offer 1:1 retail net metering credit until they reach a specific capacity threshold. Major utilities in Washington have been approaching these limits. If your contract was sold with the assumption of full retail net metering credit, but you were placed on a lower-value rate because the utility hit its cap, that is a material change from what you were promised.
