Arizona Residential Solar Cash-Purchase Addendum and Roof Acknowledgment

Before you use this: Complete the Arizona Residential Home Improvement Contract and this signed addendum as one agreement. Give the buyer the roof acknowledgment below before either party enters the purchase contract. Complete all material blanks before signing, print the agreement in at least 10-point type, and attach the registrar-approved solar warranty and performance statement. This form covers a cash purchase, without contractor financing or a lease. Check any separate cancellation rule if the sale is solicited away from the contractor's business.

1. Precontract roof acknowledgment

Project address: [STREET ADDRESS, CITY, ARIZONA ZIP]

Proposed solar contractor: [LEGAL NAME AND ARIZONA LICENSE NUMBER]

Before I enter the solar purchase contract, I understand that the roof materials or structure may need repair or replacement before the contract term ends. Unless roof damage results from the contractor's initial solar installation, I may have to pay to remove and reinstall the solar system and the roof or roofing materials for a later repair or replacement that is not caused by a violation of law. Removal and reinstallation may affect a manufacturer or installer warranty and may limit or eliminate the original installer's liability.
