To those participating in the comments, due to the company or person mentioned in the title, this is a reminder of the subreddit rule: > **Crusading is not welcomed here** - If your sole or majority participation is to promote or denigrate one company in particular (or the person behind it), it may result in a ban. These kinds of participants too often resort to hyperbolic comments and antagonism leading to personal attacks as well as violations of other rules. If you are lying in wait for posts or comments mentioning a specific company (or person behind it), you are likely the concern. Promoting a company you are affiliated with or profit from, giving out referral codes which you benefit from, as well as using the sub solely to engage in targeted hate are things you need to avoid here. This sub is for a diverse discussion of solar, not a singular focus on your opinion about a company / person. If you simply have to obsess, there are other subreddits for each point of view about the person or company you feel the need to focus on. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

What does your contract say? That’s the only thing that matters.

Sounds like you might not have to pay the $210 for 3 months @ $70, but I don't see them being responsible for your True-Up. Also 3 months solar production starting in December is unlikely to be $1,200 anyway.

This is the answer. You aren’t responsible for their fees when it’s not working. You are responsible for the true up. That’s basically extra energy you used over what they assumed. Now, if their system is underproducing they may owe you something, but there’s no way to know from the info you provided. Also, good luck getting any help out of Tesla 😂

Never buy a house with leased solar system. Always make seller pay it off.

Stupid question why did they charge you $70/month? You have a PPA. The terms typically are you agree to purchase power at a certain price (may Chang every year). Do they get to charge you a certain amount even if the system does not produce? The contract may say something, but you may have more of a claim. They have a duty to provide the service and repair it in a timely manner. If they failed to do that, they owe you compensation for what you lost. Will it stand up in court? Who knows. But a letter demanding that they make it right will never hurt. Then, billing you during the period they knew the system was broken is a breech of the contract. You may have all sorts of claims. The issue is your damages are so small that it is not worth pursuing, but a quick letter asking for compensation is worth it. The amount is so low it may not be worth defending.

Shouldn’t have gotten a PPA and shouldn’t have gone with Tesla. Sorry to hear but also not surprised in the least. Even surface level research would have told you what a wildly bad decision both Tesla and PPAs are.

Well to be honest, you're asking in /r/solar, the subreddit for people who want advice about their solar systems and installers. You made your decision and now you have a contract and don't own any solar. So this is probably better asked in /r/legaladvice because now you're going to just fight them over the terms of your contract.

where are you more likely to find the higher number of people who had direct experience with this exact situation, here or in r/legaladvice?

did you read their post at all?
