What Happens When Your Solar Company Fails — Navigating Bankruptcy and Contract Chaos

Imagine this: your solar company suddenly goes out of business. The phone lines are dead, service stops, and you’re left with payments on a system no one supports. Unfortunately, this scenario is becoming increasingly common as major solar providers face financial collapse.

If your solar company is closing, bankrupt, or unresponsive — you still have rights. Solar Exit Partners specializes in helping homeowners navigate this legal gray area and regain control of their contracts.

1. Why Solar Companies Go Under

Solar was one of the fastest-growing industries in America, but expansion came with risk. Many companies grew too fast, relied on shaky financing, or faced warranty costs they couldn’t sustain. When federal tax incentives shifted and interest rates rose, the bubble started to burst.

Now, homeowners are left stranded — systems unsupported, warranties voided, and contracts uncertain.

2. What Bankruptcy Means for Your Solar Contract

When a solar provider files for bankruptcy, your contract becomes part of their “estate.” The company (or a trustee) decides whether to assume, assign, or reject it.

• Assumed: They continue operating and maintain your contract.
• Assigned: Your contract is sold to another company — sometimes with worse terms.
• Rejected: The contract is voided, but you might still owe money to a lender.

Our legal team helps determine where you stand and what actions to take.

3. Common Issues After a Provider Collapse

• Warranties become worthless
• Automatic billing continues through financing companies
• Lien or UCC filings remain on your property
• No one is available to remove or maintain panels
• Home sales or refinances are blocked due to unresolved contracts

We step in to resolve each of these issues — fast.

4. How Solar Exit Partners Protects You During Provider Bankruptcy

Our legal team takes immediate action to:

1. Contact the bankruptcy trustee or successor company
2. File notice of your consumer rights or claims
3. Negotiate release or cancellation of the contract
4. Work with lenders to remove liens or payment obligations
5. Protect your credit and property title

Even in complex cases, we fight to secure your freedom and financial protection.

5. Real-World Example

When a national solar provider recently went bankrupt, dozens of our clients suddenly stopped receiving support. Within days, our attorneys filed necessary claims, negotiated contract releases, and coordinated lien removals — allowing homeowners to refinance or sell their properties again.

That’s what legal exit strategy truly means.

6. How to Prepare Now

Even if your solar provider hasn’t failed yet, you can protect yourself:

• Keep all documentation and proof of payments
• Monitor your provider’s financial health and public filings
• Never stop payments without legal advice
• Contact a legal professional at the first sign of trouble
