House Bill No. introduced by G. Nikolakakos and E. Kerr-Carpenter establishes solar consumer protection laws in Montana, focusing on the rights of solar buyers and the responsibilities of solar sales agents. The bill defines key terms such as "solar buyer," "solar energy system," and "solar sales agent," and emphasizes the importance of transparency and honesty in the sales process. It mandates that solar sales agents provide clear information regarding the total costs, financing terms, and any relevant fees associated with solar energy systems to help consumers make informed decisions.

Additionally, the bill grants solar buyers the right to cancel their contracts within three business days of signing, provided they notify the solar company or sales agent in writing. It prohibits solar companies and sales agents from enforcing any terms of a rescinded contract or making deceptive statements about costs and financing. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, and the new sections will be codified as part of Title 30, chapter 14 of the Montana Code.
