After SB 1036: Selling and Financing Residential Solar Under Texas’s New TDLR Rules

September 1, 2026, the opening day of this conference, marks the day Texas residential solar retailers and salespeople must be registered with TDLR, and the day new prohibited acts and administrative enforcement become active under SB 1036, the Residential Solar Retailer Regulatory Act. The five business day right-to-cancel and core contract disclosure rules have been in force since September 1, 2025; the registration deadline and full enforcement regime arrive with Day One of this conference. This session is built for everyone in the residential solar chain whose work touches a Texas homeowner: installer sales teams, retailers, lead generation partners, finance providers, subscription model and retailer-operator businesses, electrical contractors, and the channel partners that connect them. Panelists will cover what the TDLR rules require, how the registration process works, what counts as a residential sale and what is exempt, how the new disclosure and contract standards are reshaping customer trust, and what enforcement is likely to look like in practice. Attendees will leave with a clear-eyed picture of the new operating environment, plus a practical compliance checklist covering registration, disclosures, contract elements, sales practices, and supervision every team in the residential sales chain needs in place.
