‘What is my available recourse here?’

A homeowner who rented solar panels through Tesla was disappointed to learn their provider was delaying fixing a major fault, potentially costing him huge savings.

They shared screenshots of the purchase with Tesla on the r/solar subreddit. “Tesla waited 5 months to tell me I wasn’t making any power” reported. “What is my current recourse here?”

According to the homeowner, they moved into a house with a solar contract and immediately started experiencing errors during rainy weather. But eventually the errors seemed to stop. Only months later, after receiving an email informing them that the system was not producing power, did they discover that it had been five months since the solar panels last started working properly.
