Solar Contract Dispute Resolution
Summary
If you encounter a breach of contract with a solar installation, review the contract terms, document all communications, and consider filing a claim with the Dispute Tribunal if the installer refuses liability. The Consumer Guarantees Act may offer protection, and texts and emails can serve as strong evidence. Organize your documents chronologically and highlight key points to strengthen your case.Full Conversation
