I am in Colorado. I contracted with Moxie Solar in IA for a system to be installed. Moxie solar used Solar Supply of Colorado to perform the install and electrical work. I made two of three payments to Moxie Solar ($20,000) and Moxie Solar is now out of business. My install is not complete or operational. Solar Supply of Colorado wants to complete my install for the remaining $10,000; however, I am still contracted with Moxie Solar, and I have no contract with Solar Supply of Colorado. I don't know what, if anything, was paid to Solar Supply of Colorado by Moxie Solar for the work that was done to my house. I don't know if there was an actual contract between Moxie Solar and Solar Supply of Colorado. Can Solar Supply of Colorado put a lien on my property? Robert Forsyth; 3156640509; e8in14@hotmail.com
Any contractor or subcontractor can place a lien on property it improves for the value of work for which it is unpaid. Assuming this is residential property, homeowners have a defense to those subcontractor liens when the scope of work for which the lien is charged was paid in full to the GC.
As far as what you don't know, you can always ask for that information from Solar Supply.
