No Consent for Solar Panels

[Dave Rosenfield]

Situation:

Few months back, Solar panel company calls and says they are working with local power company to lighten the load on the grid. They would like to do a survey of the house to see if the house qualifies. They are just informing us about the survey and will call when it is done. Never get a call back...

Go to house today, see solar panels on roof. I ask tenant about it, he says he signed off on them and that the solar company said they talked to me and I said it was ok. I informed him about my conversation with the company about the survey and he said the only survey they did was to see how many panels to put on.

So, can a Solar company put panels on a house with just the tenant consent? Do I have any legal grounds to have them removed at the cost of the Solar company? I am about to call the company, want to get my facts straight before I do.
