If the company that sold you the panels declared bankruptcy, you may have recourse against the loan company. Also, depending on the outcome of the bankruptcy, you may retain your claims against the solar panel company as well.

It depends. We typically advise clients to wait 1-2 years for a jury trial. That process can be shortened if you wish to pursue arbitration instead of a jury trial. However, each case is unique, and we will discuss the best option for each case based on client goals.

That depends on what your goals are. We have clients that wanted to retain their system and ensure there was a company that could service the panels as needed. We also have many clients who have cancelled the loans and liens, and the loan company agreed to let the clients retain the panels.

Arbitration is the opposite of a jury trial. Instead of a public trial where 12 members of the community decide the case, you have a private mini-trial where an “arbitrator” decides the case. There are pros and cons to jury trials and arbitrations, and we can discuss each based on your goals.
