You need to have a lawyer review the lease agreement with the solar company, whether the lease is assignable (probably) and what the remedies against you might be. It might list repossession as the only option, which is what you'd want anyway.
You agreed to the lease in the contract.... View More

Tell him that the next time he sets foot on your property, you are calling the cops because he is trespassing. And do it, and press charges. Hire an attorney for about $100 or so to write the guy a strongly worded letter.

Yes, most definitely. But how did you sell it? Do you still hold title? Did you record a mortgage? If you did not sell it correctly, your only remedy might be to sue that person for damages. It really depends what you did at the time of sale.

You might want to go to small claims court which is set up for parties without lawyers.
