Who services Freedom Forever systems now

Contact the company that bills you (your lease, PPA or loan provider). For repairs, use a licensed local solar company.

What to do now

  1. Save your paperwork now. Download your contract, permits, system design, warranty documents and payment history from any customer portal before it closes.
  2. Work out who you pay. If you have a lease, PPA or loan, the company that bills you (or your lender) is your main contact – not the installer.
  3. Keep paying. A bankruptcy does not cancel lease, PPA or loan payments. Missing them can hurt your credit.
  4. Watch your production. If the monitoring app stops working, read your inverter or utility meter, and photograph readings so you can document any outage.
  5. Use manufacturer warranties. Panel, inverter and battery warranties come from the equipment makers and generally stay valid after an installer closes. Workmanship warranties from the installer usually do not.
  6. Hire a licensed local solar company for repairs. You are not tied to the original installer. Ask for proof of license and insurance.
