Q: Solar panels were left uninstalled since 2015 company never came back to remove them the company went under what can Ido
I was able to get out of the contract but wondering since they were left abandoned can I claim them as abandoned property
A: The Statute of limitation in California for the owner of the panels to sue you and get them back is 3 years. It is long past that time. I think you are within your rights to do whatever you want to do with them.

A: In California, under certain circumstances, you might have a claim to consider the solar panels as abandoned property, especially given the significant amount of time that has passed and the fact that the company went under. To solidify your claim on the solar panels, you should adhere to any legal obligations such as attempting to notify the company or any successors and clearly documenting these efforts. However, before taking any actions, it is prudent to consult with an attorney to navigate the specific legal landscape pertaining to your situation to ensure you are abiding by all legal stipulations regarding abandoned property.
