Can I make repairs to my panels if my installer is out of business?

Can I make repairs to my panels if my installer is out of business?

A common question we hear is, “What should I do if my panels need repairs while we’re still waiting to finalize my case?”

This situation is more common than you might think. The good news is that homeowners are not required to live with a non-functioning solar system during legal proceedings.

Step One: Document the Issue

If your solar panels need repair, the first thing to do is document the problem.

This means getting someone to inspect the system. Have them take photos of the issue, and provide a written estimate outlining what it will take to fix it.

If you are already a client of Prevost Law Firm, we will submit that documentation to the other side.

We’ll give them the opportunity to inspect the system themselves.

Realistically, we do not expect them to show up, but this step is important to show that we followed the appropriate process.

Proceeding with Repairs Safely

If the opposing party does not respond in a timely manner or fails to inspect the panels, you are free to move forward with repairs at your own expense. Afterward, we will include the cost of those repairs as part of your damages in the arbitration.

It is essential that you do not skip the documentation step. We want to avoid any claim that you destroyed evidence.

If documentation is not provided before repairs, or if evidence is lost or destroyed, it may weaken your case. We may be unable to include that damage in your claim, and you could lose the opportunity to recover those costs.

But once documentation is complete, you are not required to continue living with a broken system. If you can fix it, fix it.

If you have questions about how to handle repairs during a solar panel lawsuit, or if you need legal support with your case, contact Prevost Law Firm today for guidance.
