| The name | What it actually is | What it owes you |
|---|---|---|
SunPower Corporation Signed your contract |
Installed residential systems and ran the monitoring. Filed Chapter 11 in August 2024. | The workmanship warranty Now a claim against the estate |
Maxeon Makes your panels |
Spun off as an independent panel manufacturer in 2020. Was not part of the bankruptcy. | Your panel warranty Intact and claimable |
Complete Solaria Uses the name today |
Bought assets out of the bankruptcy estate in late 2024, including the dealer network, the customer service operation and the right to trade as SunPower. | Nothing owed to you Bought the brand, not the liabilities |
Complete Solaria acquired substantial assets from the estate in late 2024 — the dealer relationships, the customer service operation, and the right to trade under the SunPower name. It did not assume SunPower Corporation’s workmanship liabilities. Those became unsecured claims in the Chapter 11 case, where recovery is commonly little or nothing.
In plain terms: the installation labor coverage is gone. Your equipment coverage is not, and for most SunPower systems the equipment is where the value was concentrated.
| Component | Term | Left | Now honored by |
|---|---|---|---|
Workmanship and labor SunPower Corporation | Commonly 10-25 yrs Your signed agreement governs | Forfeited in Chapter 11 | Not covered Nobody, as a contractual obligation. Complete Solaria bought the brand and the dealer network, not the liability. We will not send you to a company that has already said it does not owe this. |
Solar panel modules Maxeon — a separate company | Typically 25-yr product and performance | 6 yrs left of 12 19 yrs performance | Claimable Unaffected by the bankruptcy. Maxeon was spun off in 2020 and was never part of the Chapter 11 case. This is the strongest coverage you have. |
Microinverters Your inverter manufacturer | 25-yr product | 19 yrs left of 25 | Claimable Manufacturer obligation, unaffected. Replacement units shipped free on a valid claim. |
Battery, if fitted Your battery manufacturer | Commonly 10 yrs, plus a throughput limit | 4 yrs left of 10 | Check the term Battery warranties run on energy throughput as well as years, so the clock runs twice. Yours is the shortest term in the system and the first to expire. |
Monitoring and alerts Your monitoring platform | Platform survives | No fixed term | Action needed SunPower ran the monitoring, and the platform did not die with the company. Your account exists; ownership rights on it likely do not sit with you. Production drops, we alert you. |
SunPower ran your monitoring, so this is the coverage most likely to have quietly stopped working. Here is the difference it makes.
We confirmed two working SunPower-related channels on 8/17/2026. Being straight with you about what they are: neither one honors a workmanship warranty. One serves lease and power purchase agreement accounts only. The other is a list of companies that will repair your system for money.
Which applies to you depends entirely on whether you own the system, and that is the fork this whole kit turns on. One of these channels states in writing that it cannot help owners.
The servicing company that took over the legacy SunPower lease and power purchase agreement fleet, its intake form, and the exact option to select so your request is routed rather than bounced.
The published list of independent service companies covering eighteen states, and how to read it for yours.
What each channel will and will not do, so you do not open with the wrong ask.
I am claiming under the limited product warranty issued with these modules. On the date of this letter that term has nineteen years remaining.
The fault is as follows. The affected module serial numbers are listed below, and the attached production record shows monthly output against expected output, establishing when the shortfall began.
I am not able to obtain installer certification of this claim, as SunPower Corporation is in liquidation and cannot provide it. I ask that this not be treated as a bar to the claim.
Please confirm receipt in writing within thirty days with a claim reference number.
One payment. Your installer, your equipment, your state, your dates.
