Was your system installed by one of these companies?
This page tells you the general situation. It can't tell you the status of your specific system — your equipment warranties, any lien or lease recorded against your panels, or whether your permit was ever finaled. That requires a lookup on your address.

Listed most recent first. Filings reflect the residential-solar segment specifically.
Freedom Forever
Chapter 11 · Apr 15, 2026- Filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware; listed assets of $100M–$500M against debts estimated at $500M–$1B.
- More than 50,000 creditors. Largest single claim: Mosaic Funding, owed roughly $120M.
- On April 3, 2026, the Texas Attorney General named the company in a crackdown on solar firms alleged to have used "fraudulent and deceptive" sales practices — cited alongside an industry-wide demand slowdown as a driver of the filing.

Sunnova Energy
Chapter 11 · Jun 2025- Filed Chapter 11 in June 2025 after a period of high debt and shifting federal/state incentive policy.
- By late 2025, completed a court-approved sale of substantially all assets to Solaris Assets, LLC, and wound down operations.

Solar Mosaic (financier)
Chapter 11 · Jun 2025- Filed Chapter 11 in June 2025; restructured and exited later in 2025.
- Relevant to homeowners because Mosaic-originated loans are often secured by a UCC filing recorded against the solar equipment — which surfaces during a home sale.

What a bankruptcy actually does to your system
The single most important distinction — and the one most homeowners get wrong.
✓ Usually survives
Manufacturer warranties on the panels, inverter, and battery — these are backed by the equipment makers (e.g., Enphase, SolarEdge, REC, Qcells), not your installer. Inverter-based monitoring typically keeps running too.
✕ Usually lost
The installer's workmanship/labor warranty — roof penetrations, wiring, mounting, and the free service visits. In most solar bankruptcies, homeowners recover little to nothing through the proceedings, and future repairs become out-of-pocket.

Don't guess which warranties you still have.
A SolarDisclosure report pulls your equipment makes and models, checks for a UCC lien or lease recorded against the system, and verifies whether your permit was finaled — the exact questions a buyer's agent will ask, and the ones your bankrupt installer can no longer answer.
Run a report on my address → Built for homeowners, sellers, and the agents handling the sale.Frequently asked
- Does my solar warranty disappear if my installer goes bankrupt?
- No — not all of it. Equipment (panel, inverter, battery) manufacturer warranties survive because the manufacturer stands behind them. What's usually lost is the installer's workmanship/labor warranty and the free service visits that came with it.
- What happens to my monitoring?
- It usually keeps running, because it's tied to the inverter maker's platform (Enphase, SolarEdge, etc.), not the installer. The follow-up and alerts the installer handled typically stop.
- I'm selling my house — does this matter?
- Yes. Buyers and agents increasingly ask for proof of warranty status, any lien or lease on the panels, and permit finalization. A defunct installer can't provide that, which stalls deals. A clear disclosure report removes the friction.
