I cleared the land for a federally and state funded solar panel system (commercial). I have not been paid for this job. I have several thousands of dollars tied up in equipment rental, labor and fuel

Payment will not automatically release a mechanics lien - whether that's partial or full payment. Still, when a lien has been partially paid, sometimes the customer will expect you to act - whether that's releasing the lien in full, partially releasing the lien, or amending the filing. Ultimately, though, that will put a claimant in a bit of a tough spot.
