Solar Companies Out of Business: 2026 Tracker

Last verified: August 17, 2026

More than a dozen US residential solar companies have filed for bankruptcy or shut down since 2022. If yours is one of them, here is the short version: your installer's workmanship warranty is usually gone, but your equipment manufacturer's warranty, your monitoring, and your financing are held by different companies that are almost always still in business. Those are three separate contracts with three separate parties, and only one of them failed.

This page tracks what actually happened to each company — filing date, chapter, court, and who (if anyone) took over servicing — sourced to court records and company filings. We update it when filings change, not on a schedule.

The one thing that determines whether you're covered

Across every failure on this list, one pattern holds:

Where a financier or asset manager survived, customers kept a servicer. Where only the installer existed, workmanship coverage evaporated.

• Sunnova collapsed, but SunStrong Management took over servicing legacy systems.
• Mosaic filed Chapter 11 and reorganized — loans are still serviced, terms unchanged.
• PosiGen's assets went to Brookfield.
• Freedom Forever, Titan Solar Power, and Purelight Power were installers with no surviving servicer. Nobody assumed those workmanship warranties.

So before anything else, work out which of these three you're dealing with — because they're rarely the same company:

What	Who holds it	Did it fail?
The equipment (panels, inverters, battery)	The manufacturer — Enphase, SolarEdge, Qcells, Fronius, Tesla	Almost always still in business
The money (loan, lease, PPA)	The financier — GoodLeap, Mosaic, Dividend, Sunrun, SunStrong	Payments continue regardless
The labor (workmanship warranty, service calls)	Your installer	This is the part that's gone

The tracker

Sorted most recent first. "Successor servicer" means a company that formally took over servicing existing customers — not a company that merely bought a brand name.

Company	Filed	Chapter	Court	Status (Aug 2026)	Successor servicer

Not on this list, and often wrongly included

• Vivint Solar did not go out of business. Sunrun completed its acquisition in October 2020, and Sunrun services those agreements today. If you have a Vivint Solar system, contact Sunrun.
• SunPower (the company operating under that name today) is a different legal entity from the one that filed in 2024. See the SunPower section below — the distinction matters for your warranty.

Reported but not confirmed: TriSMART Solar (Texas) was reported by Reuters in February 2026 to have ceased operations at the end of 2025, sourced to employee social media posts. We found no bankruptcy filing and are not treating it as confirmed.

Company-by-company detail

Freedom Forever — now liquidating under Chapter 7

Freedom Forever LLC filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition on April 15, 2026 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (case 26-10522). Reported liabilities were $500 million–$1 billion against assets of $100–500 million, with Mosaic listed as the largest creditor.

The case has since converted to Chapter 7 liquidation. A planned §363 asset sale did not proceed — the auction set for July 28, 2026 and the sale hearing set for July 31 were cancelled. The debtor moved to convert on August 4, 2026, and the court approved the conversion in early August. The case is now administered by a Chapter 7 trustee, with Kroll as claims agent.

This distinction matters and most coverage hasn't caught up: a Chapter 11 reorganization can emerge and resume honoring warranties. A Chapter 7 liquidation cannot. No company has been identified as assuming Freedom Forever's workmanship warranties.

What survived: third-party financiers — including Sunrun, GoodLeap and Mosaic — retained ownership and servicing of already-operational financed systems. Equipment manufacturer warranties are unaffected. Competitor Atma Energy voluntarily completed some stranded installations; that was a voluntary act, not an assumed obligation, and it isn't a coverage guarantee for anyone else.

Freedom Forever reported more than 150,000 installations since 2011 across 35 states, Puerto Rico and DC. Employee headcount at collapse is reported inconsistently across sources, so we're not stating a figure.

Sunnova Energy — sold, wound down, serviced by SunStrong

Filed Chapter 11 on June 8, 2025 in the Southern District of Texas (lead case 25-90160). This was a sale plus orderly wind-down, not a reorganization. Substantially all assets were acquired by Solaris Assets, LLC — formed by ad hoc DIP lenders with affiliates of GoodFinch Management — closing September 4, 2025. The plan was confirmed November 12 and became effective November 14, 2025.

Who to contact: SunStrong Management operates and services legacy Sunnova systems.

One correction worth noting: an earlier stalking-horse agreement (July 10, 2025) would have sold Sunnova's servicing platform to Omnidian for $7 million. That deal was superseded. Several sites still name Omnidian as the servicer. It isn't.

Solar Mosaic — the one that actually reorganized

Filed Chapter 11 on June 6, 2025 (S.D. Texas), confirmed a plan September 5, and emerged September 22, 2025. Forbright Bank provided DIP financing, took equity in the reorganized company, and assumed Mosaic's role as administrator and servicer of roughly $3.8 billion in ABS across 21 series.

If you have a Mosaic loan: keep paying it. Mosaic has publicly stated there are no changes to payment terms or schedules for borrowers.

SunPower Corporation — read the September 30, 2024 date carefully

The original SunPower Corporation filed Chapter 11 on August 5, 2024 (D. Del., case 24-11649). A liquidating plan became effective November 14, 2024.

Complete Solaria acquired the Blue Raven Solar business, the New Homes division, the non-installing dealer network, and the SunPower brand for $45 million, closing September 30, 2024. It later rebranded itself as SunPower Inc. It is a legally distinct company from the one that filed.

The critical line is in the acquisition FAQ: the purchase did not include any interest in customer PPAs, leases, or in any solar system, battery or other equipment installed before the acquisition date.

Your system was energized…	Who covers it
On or before Sept 30, 2024	Not assumed by the new SunPower. Leases/PPAs → SunStrong Management, (833) 514-1858. Equipment → the manufacturers.
After Sept 30, 2024	The current SunPower Inc.

SunPower-branded panels and the Maxeon program — the deadline has passed. Maxeon announced in late August 2024 that it would provide warranty support for SunPower-branded panels it manufactured. But Maxeon's current published terms limit that to panels installed before August 5, 2024 and self-registered with Maxeon before December 31, 2024. That registration window is closed. Maxeon's offer also expressly excluded microinverters, mounting systems and batteries.

We could find no court order or assumed-contract filing obligating Maxeon to provide this support, which suggests it is a voluntary program rather than a legal continuation of the original warranty. If you never registered, do not assume you are covered — contact Maxeon and confirm your specific situation.

Enphase, separately, stated it is honoring its own microinverter warranties in SunPower systems — that is a pre-existing contractual obligation, not a gesture. Enphase also offered a paid monitoring kit (IQ Gateway plus CTs) to restore app monitoring for orphaned SunPower systems. Compatibility with SunPower SunVault batteries was not available.

Titan Solar Power — Chapter 7, no successor, largely no assets

Operating as PM & M Electric, Inc. on the docket, Titan ceased operations around June 14, 2024 and filed Chapter 7 on June 20, 2024 in the District of Arizona (jointly administered under 2:24-bk-04978-MCW), with state affiliates filing through June 28. Roughly 23–26 affiliated entities; the company had operated in 16 states.

The court's own customer FAQ states the company "is no longer operational and will not be providing services to customers," and that in most of the cases it appears there are no assets available to pay creditors. No acquirer assumed the workmanship warranties. The proof-of-claim deadline was March 11, 2025.

Lumio — check whether your system reached PTO before November 1, 2024

Filed Chapter 11 on September 3, 2024 (D. Del.). Zeo Energy Corp. acquired substantially all assets, approved November 1 and closed November 6, 2024.

The dividing line: Zeo took on projects not yet at Permission to Operate (PTO) as of November 1, 2024 and committed to finishing those installations. Systems that reached PTO before that date were excluded — no successor assumed those warranties.

iSun / SunCommon — the brand you have determines the answer

iSun, Inc. filed Chapter 11 on June 3, 2024 (D. Del.), converted to Chapter 7 on January 27, 2025. The operating business was sold as a going concern for approximately $10 million to Clean Royalties, LLC (backed by Siltstone Capital), approved August 23 and closed August 26, 2024, and now operates as Original Clean Energy.

SunCommon (Vermont and upstate New York) and Liberty Electric (Salem, NH) continue operating under the new ownership and are not in bankruptcy. The iSun brand was retired. If your system was installed by SunCommon or Liberty Electric, you have a servicer. If it was branded iSun, contact Original Clean Energy to confirm.

Solgen Power / Purelight Power — one company, two names

These were a single corporate group; Solgen Power operated under the Purelight Power name. Operations ceased in late December 2025 and the group filed Chapter 7 on December 30, 2025 in the Eastern District of Washington. All 12 debtor entities were dissolved and roughly $7 million in assets were sold through online auctions beginning March 26, 2026.

The group served more than 20,000 customers across nine states (ID, IA, KY, MN, MT, OH, OR, UT, WA). No successor has been identified. One source (Reuters) described the filing as Chapter 11; the docket and local business reporting describe Chapter 7, and we've gone with the docket.

PosiGen — assets to Brookfield

Filed Chapter 11 on November 24, 2025 (S.D. Texas). A court-approved §363 sale plus strict foreclosure on non-debtor affiliates transferred substantially all assets to Brookfield Asset Management, which held approximately $600 million of PosiGen debt. A litigation trust was formed with Brookfield holding majority beneficial interests; related litigation settled February 10, 2026. The estate is in a Chapter 11 wind-down.

Pink Energy / Power Home Solar — the settlement is the live path

Ceased operations in September 2022 and filed Chapter 7 on October 7, 2022 in the Western District of North Carolina (case 22-50228). The petition listed a creditor range of 25,000–50,000. No acquirer; no successor assumed workmanship warranties.

The estate's principal asset was its litigation claim against Generac, which the filing stayed. Those product claims consolidated into MDL No. 3078 in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and the $15 million settlement described at the top of this page is the practical recovery route — with a claim deadline of August 24, 2026.

Separately, in November 2022, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein led a nine-state coalition (KY, IL, IN, MI, PA, SC, TN, VA) asking five lenders — Dividend Solar Finance, GoodLeap, Cross River Bank, Sunlight Financial and Solar Mosaic — to suspend loan payments and interest for Pink Energy customers without working installations. The Ohio Attorney General filed suit against the company in September 2022.

ADT Solar — an exit, not a bankruptcy

ADT announced on January 24, 2024 that it would exit its residential solar business, taking an $89 million write-down, and subsequently closed its remaining branches. This was a corporate decision, not a bankruptcy filing. ADT's announcement said the exit "may include the transfer of components of the business to other parties" but named no successor and did not address existing customer warranties. We could not verify who, if anyone, honors ADT Solar workmanship warranties. If you have an ADT Solar system, contact ADT directly and get the answer in writing.

What to do right now

1. Secure your monitoring access first

This is genuinely urgent, not housekeeping — Enphase's IQ8 microinverter warranty requires the system to be continuously connected to the internet, so losing monitoring can put coverage at risk.

• Enphase: use the Change of Ownership / Transfer of Ownership process at enphase.com. There is a form and a transfer fee.
• SolarEdge: use the Site Transfer Form at solaredge.com/site-transfer. You'll need your Customer Number and serial number, and ideally your Site ID (in the mySolarEdge app). Without a Site ID, a document verifying home ownership can be used. Note that all current users on the monitoring site are removed when ownership transfers — which is how you strip a defunct installer's access.

2. Gather your documents before you need them

Installation contract and change orders; proof of purchase and final amount paid; equipment serial numbers for every panel, inverter, optimizer, battery and gateway; warranty registration confirmations; loan/lease/PPA agreement and current servicer statements; permit, interconnection agreement and utility PTO letter; lien releases; production history screenshots; photos of the defect and any prior service tickets.

Serial numbers and production history are required by nearly every claim process, and they are much harder to reconstruct after equipment fails.

3. Work out who holds each obligation

Equipment manufacturer, finance company, and lease/PPA owner are usually three different parties, and typically only the installer failed.

4. File manufacturer claims directly where the warranty permits it

SolarEdge's warranty document contemplates the buyer filing directly by email with a defect description, serial number and purchase receipt. Enphase runs an RMA process at enphase.com/warranty and ships replacements with a prepaid return label. Tesla directs you to your certified installer, but says to contact Tesla directly if that installer is unavailable.

5. Budget for labor — this is where orphaned homeowners get caught

The part is usually free. The truck roll usually isn't.

Manufacturer	Labor covered?
Enphase	No — explicitly excludes un-installation and re-installation labor
SolarEdge	No — labor, travel and boarding costs not covered
Qcells	No — excludes dismantling and installation costs
Fronius	Yes — Warranty Plus covers material, labor and transport
Tesla	Partially — includes reimbursement of reasonable labor costs where Tesla elects repair through a certified installer

Finding someone to do the work: several manufacturers require a certified or authorized installer to perform warranty service — Tesla explicitly, and Enphase voids coverage for damage caused by non-Enphase service. Verify certification at nabcep.org (the actual certifying body, not the third-party "finder" sites) and verify state licensing through your state contractor board.

If your installer was bonded, a surety bond claim goes to the bonding company, not the licensing board, and has its own filing deadline.

Two things most solar sites still get wrong

The California Solar Energy System Restitution Program is closed to new claims. CSLB's $5 million restitution fund for consumers harmed by solar installations is frequently recommended in consumer content. CSLB's own notice states it "is no longer accepting new claims for the Solar Energy System Restitution Program." If you were pointed at this fund, it is not an available path.

Maxeon's SunPower panel program required registration by December 31, 2024. Covered above. A large amount of published advice still describes this as open-ended support.

Both of these are the kind of thing that goes stale quietly. We re-check them when we update this page, and we date the check.

Frequently asked questions

My solar installer went out of business. Are my panels still under warranty?
Your panels are almost certainly still under their manufacturer's warranty, because that is a separate contract between you and the manufacturer — the installer's bankruptcy does not extinguish it. What you lose is the installer's workmanship warranty, which covers installation defects, roof penetrations and labor. Most manufacturer warranties cover the part but not the labor to replace it, so expect to pay for the service call. The exception is when the manufacturer itself failed, in which case coverage depends on who acquired the assets and whether they voluntarily agreed to provide support.

Do I still have to pay my solar loan if the company that installed my system went bankrupt?
Yes. Your loan, lease or PPA is held by a finance company that is separate from your installer — commonly GoodLeap, Mosaic, Dividend, Sunrun or SunStrong. Those obligations continue regardless of what happened to the installer, and stopping payment can damage your credit and, with some agreements, put a lien on your home. If your system was never completed or does not work, the FTC's Holder Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 433) preserves certain claims and defenses against the holder of a consumer credit contract, with recovery limited to amounts you have paid. That is a decision to make with your own attorney, not something to do unilaterally.

Freedom Forever filed Chapter 11 — will they come back and fix my system?
No. The Chapter 11 case converted to Chapter 7 liquidation in early August 2026 after a planned asset sale did not proceed. A Chapter 11 reorganization can emerge and resume honoring obligations; a Chapter 7 liquidation cannot. No company has been identified as assuming Freedom Forever's workmanship warranties. Your equipment manufacturer warranties are unaffected, and if your system was financed through Sunrun, GoodLeap or Mosaic, that financier retained ownership and servicing of operational systems.

Is SunPower out of business?
Both answers are true, which is why this is confusing. SunPower Corporation — the company that existed before August 2024 — filed Chapter 11 on August 5, 2024 and was liquidated. Complete Solaria bought its brand and certain divisions, closing September 30, 2024, and now operates under the SunPower name as a legally distinct company. If your system was energized on or before September 30, 2024, the current SunPower did not assume it. Legacy leases and PPAs are administered by SunStrong Management at (833) 514-1858.

Is Vivint Solar out of business?
No. Sunrun completed its acquisition of Vivint Solar in October 2020, and Sunrun services those agreements today. Vivint Solar appears on many "defunct solar company" lists incorrectly. Contact Sunrun about your system.

How do I get my monitoring app working again after my installer disappeared?
For Enphase, use the Transfer of Ownership process at enphase.com — there is a form and a transfer fee. For SolarEdge, use the Site Transfer Form at solaredge.com/site-transfer with your Customer Number and serial number; a document verifying home ownership can substitute if you do not have your Site ID. Transferring ownership removes all existing users from the monitoring site, which is how a defunct installer's access is removed. Do this promptly — some warranties require continuous internet connection to remain valid.

Can I get money back from the bankruptcy?
Usually not much. A workmanship warranty becomes a general unsecured claim, which sits near the bottom of the payment priority order, and most corporate Chapter 7 cases are "no asset" cases with no distribution to unsecured creditors. The Titan Solar Power court notice states directly that in most of those cases it appears there are no assets available to pay creditors. Filing a proof of claim before the deadline costs little and preserves your position, but it is not a realistic repair plan. Where a specific settlement exists — as with the Generac PWRcell settlement — that is usually the better route.

How we maintain this page

We update this page when a filing status, successor, or deadline actually changes — not on a schedule, and not to appear current. Every company entry is sourced to the court docket, official filing or company statement it came from. Where sources conflict, we say so and explain which one we went with. Where we could not verify something, we say that too rather than filling the gap.

If you find something here that's out of date or wrong, tell us and we'll correct it and note the correction.
