Do Contractors Need Both Commercial And Residential Solar Installation Agreements? Posted on Sep 12, 2016
Yes. The law contains many protections for homeowners (consumers) in contractor home improvement agreements that affect the terms of solar installation agreements, including even simple things such as font type and section titles. Commercial solar installation agreements have a much greater flexibility in how their terms can be structured. The law does not provide commercial entities with the same degree of protection as homeowners because it views companies as sophisticated entities that can negotiate with each other.
Every solar contractor should have both a residential and a commercial version of their solar system installation agreement. If not, you will be missing out on the advantages commercial contracting provides and failing to comply with homeowner protection laws.
