Bill > S1182

This bill adds a new chapter to Idaho law to provide for the disclosure of certain information when a solar agreement is entered into for a residential solar energy system. The key provisions include: 1. Requiring solar retailers to provide a written disclosure statement to potential consumers before entering into a solar agreement, including information about the solar retailer, the system installer, any operations and maintenance support, and disclosures about estimated savings, tax credits, utility rates, and warranties. 2. Specifying additional required disclosures for system purchase agreements (e.g., purchase price, payment schedule, transfer of ownership) and system lease agreements (e.g., no tax credits, transfer of lease, end of lease term). 3. Allowing solar retailers to provide good faith estimates for certain information if they do not have the details at the time of the disclosure. 4. Granting the state Attorney General and district courts the authority to enforce the provisions of this act under the Idaho Consumer Protection Act.
