Contractor is probably a misnomer, this was a turnkey solar installer. Not that it makes much of a difference.

The extra work was already part of original scope. It was completed by the time I requested the changes. The change was to get a permit for it.

I agree that permitting and inspections are out of the solar installer's control, but at what point does it become excessive? It was 70 days total to permit, 11 days plans were with the County for review, 59 with the installer for corrections. As for inspections, it generally went about like this:
Inspector: Fix A, B, C, D
Contractor: We fixed B, C, D, lets get another inspection
