Image of solar panels in orange. Caption reads: "Did you know? All Solar Alberta business members must abide by the Alberta Solar Business Code of Conduct. The Code protects customers and the reputation of the solar industry. The Code requires members to give people a 24-hour “cooling off period” after meeting them at the door. No money or signatures can be collected during this 24 hours. This is in addition to Alberta’s standard 10-day cancellation period that companies must offer after a contract is signed. The Code stipulates that advertising must be truthful and not misleading. If a member violates the Code, you can file a complaint through our website and our impartial volunteer Ethics Committee will investigate. For more information visit www.solaralberta.ca/consumer-protection." Solar Alberta logo.
