I just finished building a new home in Northern California. My contractor installed a solar array. I thought he filled out everything correctly to be grandfathered into NEM 2.0
I just found out that he did NOT turn everything in at the proper time, now I’m stuck with NEM 3.0 and will lose thousands of dollars in credits with PG&E.
Do I have any recourse with my contractor?

That sounds super frustrating! I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Definitely check your contract with the contractor to see if there's any clause about this kind of thing. Maybe they can help fix it or compensate you for the credits you'll lose. It's worth a shot! If not, there might be some legal options depending on the situation, but that can get messy.
Your best bet is to chat with your contractor first, see if they can do anything to help fix the situation. If that doesn't work, you might want to reach out to a lawyer or someone who knows the ins and outs of solar regulations in your area.
