Failed Residential Solar Panel Installation

$80,381 Recovery for Failed Residential Solar Panel Installation

The Problem

Our clients invested in a solar panel system from a well-known local solar dealer, expecting substantial energy savings and a reliable renewable energy solution. Instead, they received:

• A faulty installation that caused damage to their brand-new roof
• A malfunctioning solar system that never worked properly
• Zero assistance from the parts manufacturer, despite a warranty
• More than a year of monthly finance payments with no energy savings
• The frustration of an unsightly, non-functioning system on their home

The solar dealer stopped communicating with the homeowners, leaving them with a defective product, mounting expenses, and no resolution.

Our Approach

Jimenez Legal was retained to cut through the mess and hold the solar dealer accountable. Our attorneys:

• Filed a lawsuit to force the dealer to respond, despite their attempts to avoid responsibility
• Fought to prevent the case from being removed to private arbitration, ensuring transparency and leverage in court
• Developed a comprehensive claim seeking full rescission of the finance agreement, reimbursement of payments, and roof repairs
• Worked through prolonged litigation until the dealer was forced to address the problem

The Result

After a determined legal battle, our firm secured a result valued at $80,381.60, which:

• Discharged the finance agreement and eliminated future payments
• Refunded all prior payments made toward the defective system
• Removed the solar panels from the home
• Repaired the roof damage caused by the faulty installation

Key Takeaway

Homeowners should not be left paying for defective solar installations. With experienced legal representation, you can force dealers and manufacturers to take responsibility and restore your property.
