Legal Question in Construction Law in California

I am trying to sell my home and have a solar lease. When the potential buyers inspected the house it was determined that the solar installation was not done properly. We contacted the Solar company who then sent out their own inspector and proceeded to turn off the system because of the issues. The Solar company has said that they would do the repairs but it has been over a month and have since fallen out of escrow. We are now in escrow again but the Solar company has again sent out another inspector to do a report and has informed us that it may be another month or so before we will get any repairs. That being the case we will likely fall out of escrow again. Do I have any legal path, I'm so frustrated with the Solar I just want them to remove the whole thing?

It would require a full review of your agreement(s) with the solar company, the nature of the problems, and your actual losses from the problems in order to evaluate your options that would hold up if things wound up in court. You need to consult an experienced construction defect attorney. I have nearly 30 years construction litigation experience and I maintain litigation facilities in Carlsbad, but it is unlikely I could economically handle this issue for you unless it went to litigation and you have an attorneys fees clause in your agreement with the company. So I recommend you find someone local to consult.
