Q: We signed a solar contact in August 2022 and per our contract our completion date was 11/21/2022. we still have no solar

A: It sounds like this has been a terrible experience to say the least. You may have a breach of contract case as well as a cause of action for negligence. You should consult a lawyer to review the contract. Is the solar company refusing to repair the damage to the living room wall? If they opened up the wall and did not take precautions to protect against water intrusion, they should be liable for the resultant damages. Sometimes all it takes is a demand letter to the contractor to get them to accept responsibility and take action. You should speak to an attorney to see how they can help you. Good luck!

A: Under California law, contractors are required to complete their work within the time specified in the contract, absent any unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances. If the contractor fails to complete the work within the agreed-upon time frame, you may be entitled to damages for any losses you suffered as a result of the delay.

In addition, the contractor may be responsible for any damage caused by their work or equipment, such as the water damage to your living room wall. You may have the right to seek compensation from the contractor for the repair costs, either through negotiation or legal action.
