Solar Panels - still no final approval from SRP

So my solar panels have been on the roof for about 6 weeks but Salt River Solar and Wind (SRSW) has been unable to get SRP to come and provide a final inspection. I have recieved 2 city inspections and 2 SRP inspections but to date I haven't received the final SRP inspection which would allow my Solar Panels to actually generate power. So with record temps in Phoenix, I am not receiving the subsidized power from the solar panels on my roof. What a gip!!

The good news is that SRSW is reimburing us $200 per business day that SRP hasn't given final inspection on after Aug 5th. So that means to date I have a credit of$3,200. I can't beleive that SRSW would botch this up so badly, I even emailed them reminding them of this condition in the contract and in typical fashion, I didn't even get a reply from them.

The good news is the city and SRP are really impressed with the workmanship of SRSW employees that do the work on site - that's gotta count for something right? I'm sure hoping that SRSW honors the contract and gives us back the $$ they owe us from missing the cutoff date . . . they have had our $$ since Aug 2010 and this is the best they can do after a year? Crazy!!
