What can I do if a company owes me a rebate but will not pay?
In October of 2016 I purchased solar panels with the sale of my home. Per the contract sent to me I owed $39,000. In December I was contacted stating I was charged incorrectly and that the price should have been $27,000. So the company owes me $12,000. I have a new contract that states the new purchase price. The company however is dragging their feet to pay me back. Now they won’t take my calls or reply to my emails. Is there a way to change interest on the money they owe me since they refuse to give it to me and have had it in their possession for 3 months now and I don’t see a delivery in the near future.

No, you can't charge interest on the money unless there was an agreement (i.e. a term in the agreement) granting you interest. You can sue them for breach of contract for not honoring the price in the agreement and returning the surplus to you, to get the money, if they persist in not paying it. At this point, you could file the case whenever you gave up on waiting.
