No successor installer. Contact your lender or lease provider; hire a licensed local company for repairs.
What to do now
- Save your paperwork now. Download your contract, permits, system design, warranty documents and payment history from any customer portal before it closes.
- 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.
- Keep paying. A bankruptcy does not cancel lease, PPA or loan payments. Missing them can hurt your credit.
- Watch your production. If the monitoring app stops working, read your inverter or utility meter, and photograph readings so you can document any outage.
- 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.
- Hire a licensed local solar company for repairs. You are not tied to the original installer. Ask for proof of license and insurance.
