If your installer shut down, a Texas solar company bankruptcy can leave you with panels, payments, and no one to call. However, your loan, lease, or power purchase agreement almost never disappears with the company. Someone still holds that contract, so payments usually remain due.
This guide lists 18 residential solar companies that we confirmed filed for bankruptcy. Also, each entry links to the court record and to news coverage. Then we explain what each filing means for Texas homeowners, which Texas laws still matter, and what to do next.

Key takeaways on Texas solar company bankruptcy
- A bankruptcy rarely cancels your contract. Instead, a separate company usually holds your loan, lease, or PPA, or a buyer takes it over.
- Five filings have a direct Texas connection. Specifically, three cases went to the Southern District of Texas. In addition, one involved a Texas affiliate, and the Texas Attorney General named one company in a 2026 investigation.
- Manufacturer warranties usually survive. However, the installer’s workmanship warranty usually does not.
- Texas law still matters. The DTPA, SB 1036, the Home Solicitation Act, and the FTC Holder Rule may apply, although a bankruptcy changes how claims against the bankrupt company work.
- DTPA claims have a two-year clock. So get your documents reviewed early.
- Don’t stop paying on your own. The decision to stop making payments should only be made under the advice of a qualified attorney.
Every solar company bankruptcy we verified
Notice: Texas Solar Cancellation has no affiliation with, endorsement from, or sponsorship by any company listed below. Also, these tables report public bankruptcy filings only. They do not describe or characterize any company’s conduct, and we use company names only to identify the public record.
How we built this list: A company appears here only if it filed a bankruptcy petition in federal court. Also, we confirmed each filing against the court’s website, a court document, the claims agent’s case site, an SEC filing, a state attorney general release, or a federal docket summary. However, a company that simply closed does not appear. Lenders do not appear either, because this list covers installers and providers only. In addition, each row below is a solar company bankruptcy case that matters to Texas homeowners, and five rows have a direct Texas link.

What each solar company bankruptcy means for Texas homeowners
If a solar company bankruptcy touched your Texas home, start with the entry for your installer. Below, we group the filings by year, and each entry covers what happened and what it means for you.
2022 and 2023 solar company bankruptcy filings
Power Home Solar (Pink Energy). Power Home Solar, LLC, doing business as Pink Energy, filed Chapter 7 in the Western District of North Carolina on October 7, 2022 (Case No. 22-50228). So a Chapter 7 trustee runs the liquidation. Also, the court’s administrator notes that the trustee and company representatives “cannot respond to questions about an employee’s or customer’s individual situation.” Your separate lender’s financing usually continues. See our Pink Energy guide.
NM Solar Group. NM Solar Group, Inc. filed Chapter 7 in the District of New Mexico on August 28, 2023 (Case No. 23-10728). According to a court opinion, the company “abruptly ceased operations on August 11, 2023.” It also notes that New Mexico’s Attorney General filed a state court action against the company a week before the bankruptcy. In addition, the opinion describes incomplete projects and unfulfilled warranty obligations.
Erus Energy. Erus Holdings LLC, also known as Erus Energy, filed Chapter 7 in the District of Delaware on November 8, 2023 (Case No. 23-11833). An affiliate, Erus Builders, LLC, also filed. In addition, ABC15 reported that the company closed its Phoenix offices. As a result, customers typically lose the installer’s workmanship warranty. See our Erus Energy guide.
Vision Solar. According to the Connecticut Attorney General, Vision Solar LLC “filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on December 28, 2023” in the District of New Jersey (Case No. 23-21939). Chapter 7 means liquidation, while another company typically holds your loan or lease. See our Vision Solar guide.
Early 2024 solar company bankruptcy filings
Sunworks and Solcius. In an SEC filing, Sunworks, Inc. reported that on February 5, 2024, it “and three of its subsidiaries ceased operations and filed voluntary petitions” under Chapter 7 in the District of Delaware (Cases 24-10215 through 24-10218). Solcius LLC’s case, 24-10216, also sits in that court with the same date. Later, Solar Power World reported that another company acquired Sunworks and Solcius customer data and monitoring sites. So if your monitoring stopped working, contact your inverter manufacturer. Read about Sunworks and Solcius.
iSun. iSun, Inc. and affiliated debtors filed Chapter 11 in the District of Delaware on June 3, 2024 (Case No. 24-11144). Specifically, the company called the filing a “Chapter 11/363 reorganization,” which means a court-supervised sale. During a sale like this, contracts and service obligations can move to a buyer, so watch for written notices.
Titan Solar Power. PM&M Electric, Inc., doing business as Titan Solar Power, and its state affiliates began filing Chapter 7 cases in the District of Arizona on June 20, 2024 (lead case 2:24-bk-04978). Then its Texas affiliate, Titan Solar Power TX, Inc., filed its own case on June 28, 2024 (Case No. 2:24-bk-05248). The court’s case page also warns that “in most of the cases filed, it appears that there are no assets available to pay creditors.” Meanwhile, the court’s FAQ tells financed homeowners to ask their lender how the bankruptcy affects payments. So Texas customers should check the affiliate’s case too. Also see our Texas closure guide.
Late 2024 solar company bankruptcy filings
SunPower Corporation (2024 filing). SunPower Corporation and certain subsidiaries filed Chapter 11 in the District of Delaware on August 5, 2024 (Case No. 24-11649). At the same time, its release announced a sale of several business lines to another company. Some operations sold, while others wound down. Other companies generally hold or service the loans and leases tied to SunPower systems. So check your latest statement to see who collects your payment today. See the SunPower bankruptcy guide.
Lumio. Lumio Holdings, Inc. and affiliates filed Chapter 11 in the District of Delaware on September 3, 2024 (Case No. 24-11916). PV Tech reported that the filing came with a planned asset sale, so your contract may have moved to a buyer. Therefore, keep any notices from after September 2024. See the Lumio bankruptcy guide.
Altair Solar. Altair Solar, Inc. filed Chapter 7 in the Central District of California on December 31, 2024 (Case No. 8:24-bk-13307). The docket shows a trustee’s report of no distribution, which means creditors had no assets to collect. So in a no-asset case, a claim against the company itself is unlikely to pay. Instead, your options usually run through other parties, such as the lender or the manufacturer.
Early 2025 solar company bankruptcy filings
Infinity Energy. Infinity Energy, Inc. filed Chapter 7 in the Eastern District of California on February 20, 2025 (Case No. 2:25-bk-20737). Similarly, the docket shows a trustee’s report of no distribution, and the case terminated on October 27, 2025. As with Altair, look to the other companies on your paperwork rather than the installer.
Shine Solar. Shine Solar, LLC filed Chapter 11 in the Western District of Arkansas on March 17, 2025 (Case No. 5:25-bk-70455). Later, the case converted to Chapter 7, and Solar Power World reported an auction of the company’s assets. Therefore, the company is liquidating rather than reorganizing. See the Shine Solar bankruptcy guide.
Sunnova. Sunnova Energy International Inc. and certain subsidiaries filed Chapter 11 in the Southern District of Texas, in Houston, on June 8, 2025 (Case No. 25-90160). Later, the case reached its effective date on November 14, 2025, according to the claims agent. Since then, Sunnova’s own website says the company “has ceased independent operations,” and a new servicer has taken over most in-service customer systems. Because many Texas Sunnova customers have leases or PPAs, the company billing you may have changed. Before you pay anyone new, confirm the change in writing. Also, Sunnova is one of three solar company bankruptcy cases on this list filed in a Texas court. See the Sunnova bankruptcy guide.
Mid- to late-2025 solar company bankruptcy filings
Nivo Solar (Cypress, Texas). Nivo Solar LLC, a Cypress, Texas company, filed Chapter 7 in the Southern District of Texas on June 30, 2025 (Case No. 4:25-bk-33752). So this Texas solar company bankruptcy is a liquidation case in Houston’s federal bankruptcy court. As a result, customers typically lose the workmanship warranty. Also, the docket summary lists a claims deadline of December 15, 2025, which has passed. So if you’re a Nivo customer, have an attorney review your options with your lender and any other parties on your paperwork.
PosiGen. PosiGen, PBC and nine affiliated debtors filed Chapter 11 in the Southern District of Texas on November 24, 2025 (Case No. 25-90787). Later, the plan became effective on February 26, 2026, according to the claims agent. Before the filing, a company notice quoted by Solar Power World warned that its financing would only let it “continue operations for a temporary period.” So check the claims agent’s site for notices about customer agreements. See the PosiGen bankruptcy guide.
Solgen Power and Purelight Power. Solgen Power, LLC filed Chapter 7 in the Eastern District of Washington on December 30, 2025 (Case No. 2:25-bk-02262). According to Solar Power World, Solgen and Purelight Power merged in early 2025. Later, the CEO told a local business journal the company was “out of time and out of money.” See Is Pure Light Power still in business?
2026 solar company bankruptcy filings
Freedom Forever. On April 3, 2026, the Texas Attorney General announced a solar sales investigation that named Freedom Forever. Twelve days later, on April 15, 2026, Freedom Forever LLC filed Chapter 11 in the District of Delaware (Case No. 26-10522). In other words, this solar company bankruptcy came less than two weeks after the Texas announcement. Then two affiliates followed on May 2, 2026.
Afterward, the case changed course. The claims agent’s site now shows a cancelled sale hearing and a conversion to Chapter 7 as of August 7, 2026, with a Chapter 7 trustee now in place. As a result, the company faces liquidation.
Meanwhile, WFLA reported on a homeowner whose panels passed inspection but still weren’t connected while the company was unreachable. If your system never turned on, see next steps by contract type. For more, read the Freedom Forever bankruptcy guide.

Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 11: what the filing type tells you
| Chapter 7 | Chapter 11 | |
| What it is | Liquidation. A trustee sells what’s left and pays creditors. | Reorganization or a court-supervised sale of the business. |
| Does the company keep operating? | Generally no. | Sometimes, during the case. |
| What happens to customer contracts | Often transferred, rejected, or left without a servicing company. | Often sold to a buyer or moved to a new servicer. |
| Does the company get a discharge? | No. Federal law denies a Chapter 7 discharge when “the debtor is not an individual.” | Depends on the plan. |
| What you should do | Identify who holds your loan or lease, and check the claims deadline. | Watch for transfer notices, and check the claims agent’s case site. |
Also, two more terms come up often:
- Automatic stay. A bankruptcy petition automatically pauses most lawsuits and collection actions against the company. However, it generally doesn’t stop a separate lender or leasing company from collecting from you.
- Proof of claim and bar date. If the company owes you money, for example for unfinished work, you may be able to file a proof of claim. However, courts set deadlines for this, called bar dates. If you miss one, you may lose the chance to recover.
What a solar company bankruptcy usually doesn’t change
Even so, a Texas solar company bankruptcy leaves five things mostly in place.
- Your loan. Generally, a lender, not the installer, makes most solar loans. So the installer’s bankruptcy doesn’t cancel the loan.
- Your lease or PPA. If a separate company owns the system, your agreement continues. If the bankrupt company owned it, federal law lets the trustee, with court approval, “assume or reject any executory contract or unexpired lease.” In practice, a new owner often takes over agreements like yours.
- Your manufacturer warranties. Panels, inverters, and batteries usually carry warranties from their makers, so those warranties don’t depend on the installer staying open.
- The lien on your equipment. A UCC filing on your system stays on record until someone releases it. See how to find a solar lien in Texas.
- Your credit. Lenders still report missed payments. That’s why the decision to stop paying should only be made with a qualified attorney’s advice.
Next steps by contract type
Your next step after a Texas solar company bankruptcy depends on how you paid for the system.
Solar loan. Generally, your loan continues with the lender or whoever bought it. Typically, you lose the installer’s workmanship warranty, which covers roof penetrations, wiring, and mounting. However, you typically keep the manufacturer warranties.
Lease or PPA, and another company owns the system. In that case, the owner stays responsible under your agreement. In many leases, maintenance is also the owner’s job, so contact them for service.
Lease or PPA, and the bankrupt company owned the system. This is the hardest situation because your agreement is an asset in the bankruptcy, so a buyer may take it over. Until then, pay only the company officially designated to collect, and keep every notice.
Cash purchase. Because you own the system outright, your main concerns are manufacturer warranties, a new service company, and any money the bankrupt company owes you.
System never finished or never turned on. Before anything else, document what the crew installed, what they didn’t, what you paid, and what your lender paid out. Then ask your lender in writing what it disbursed to the installer and when. Because this situation involves both the bankruptcy and your financing, it’s worth an attorney’s review.
Texas laws that still matter after a solar company bankruptcy
A Texas solar company bankruptcy changes how claims against the bankrupt company work. However, it doesn’t erase Texas law, and it doesn’t erase claims that may exist against other parties. Whether any of these laws applies depends on your documents and your facts.
The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA)
The DTPA is Texas’s main consumer protection law. If a consumer prevails, the consumer can recover “the amount of economic damages found by the trier of fact.” If the defendant acted knowingly, the award can reach “three times the amount of economic damages.” In addition, “each consumer who prevails shall be awarded court costs and reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees.”
Also, two rules make timing important:
- Pre-suit notice. A consumer generally must give written notice “at least 60 days before filing the suit,” describing the specific complaint and damages.
- Two-year deadline. Generally, DTPA actions “must be commenced within two years” after the deceptive act. Alternatively, the two years can run from when the consumer discovered it or reasonably should have.
Learn more about Texas DTPA claims for solar misrepresentation.
SB 1036, Texas’s residential solar law
Senate Bill 1036 created Chapter 1806 of the Texas Occupations Code, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) enforces it. According to TDLR, covered agreements must include:
- A five-business-day right to cancel. Buyers and lessees can “cancel the agreement without penalty or further obligation by providing written notice of the cancellation on or before the fifth business day after the date on which the agreement was executed.”
- A named, licensed electrical contractor. Also, the agreement must state that installation “will be performed by a licensed electrical contractor,” along with that contractor’s name and license number.
- Loan cancellation. If you cancel, the agreement must require a third-party lender to “cancel any accompanying loan.”
In addition, residential solar retailers and salespersons must register with TDLR as of September 1, 2026. The contract requirements took effect September 1, 2025, so they mainly matter for recent contracts. Learn more about SB 1036 and the five-business-day right.
The Texas Home Solicitation Act
For covered sales made at your home, Texas law lets a consumer cancel “not later than midnight of the third business day after the date the consumer signs an agreement or offer to purchase.” However, most homeowners reading this are past that window. Still, it matters if you signed recently.
The FTC Holder Rule
If your installer arranged your financing, your loan contract may include a federally required notice. Specifically, it states that any holder of the contract “is subject to all claims and defenses which the debtor could assert against the seller.” However, recovery under that notice “shall not exceed amounts paid by the debtor.” So search your loan agreement for the word HOLDER in capital letters, and note the page for your attorney. This rule can matter a great deal when the installer is bankrupt but the lender is not.

Texas deadlines after a solar company bankruptcy
| Deadline | How long | Starts when | Source |
| SB 1036 right to cancel | 5 business days | The agreement is signed (covered agreements) | Texas Occupations Code § 1806.156 |
| Home Solicitation Act cancellation | 3 business days | The agreement is signed | Texas Business and Commerce Code § 601.051 |
| DTPA pre-suit notice | At least 60 days before suing | Before filing suit | Texas Business and Commerce Code § 17.505 |
| DTPA lawsuit | 2 years | The act occurred, or when it was (or should have been) discovered | Texas Business and Commerce Code § 17.565 |
| Bankruptcy claims deadline (bar date) | Set by each court | Varies by case | The case record for your company |
After a Texas solar company bankruptcy, missing any of these can close an option for good. So see deadlines on Texas solar claims for more detail.
How to find a solar lien in Texas
A lien on your equipment can block a sale or refinance. Unfortunately, a Texas solar company bankruptcy doesn’t remove it. Texas records these filings in two places, so check both:
- Your county clerk. Under Texas law, a financing statement “filed as a fixture filing” goes to the office where a mortgage on the property would be recorded, which means your county clerk. So search your county’s official public records by your name.
- The Texas Secretary of State. Meanwhile, all other UCC financing statements go to the Secretary of State. According to that office, searches run online through its portal, with a $1 search fee. See the Texas SOS UCC FAQ.
Then write down the filing number, date, and secured party for anything you find. If the secured party no longer exists, an attorney can advise on how to get a release. Learn more about UCC-1 fixture filings on Texas solar systems.

Frequently asked questions
Payments, warranties, and contracts
Do I still have to pay my solar loan if the company went bankrupt? In most cases, yes. That’s because a separate lender usually holds your loan, and the installer’s bankruptcy doesn’t cancel it. The decision to stop making payments should only be made under the advice of a qualified attorney.
Is my solar warranty still good? Generally, manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters, and batteries continue. However, you usually lose the installer’s workmanship warranty when the installer liquidates, unless a buyer took it over in the bankruptcy.
What happens to my solar lease or PPA if the company goes bankrupt? If a different company owns your system, your agreement continues with that company. If the bankrupt company owned it, your agreement becomes part of the bankruptcy, and it may move to a new owner with court approval.
My system was never turned on. What should I do? Before anything else, document the system’s status and what you’ve paid. Then ask your lender in writing what it disbursed. Finally, have your documents reviewed, since this situation often involves both the bankruptcy and your financing.
Will the lien on my panels go away? Not on its own. A UCC or fixture filing stays on record until someone releases it. So search with your county clerk and the Texas Secretary of State.
Finding your solar company bankruptcy case
Which solar companies that filed for bankruptcy have a Texas connection? On our verified list, Sunnova, Nivo Solar, and PosiGen filed in the Southern District of Texas. Also, Titan Solar Power’s Texas affiliate filed its own Chapter 7 case. Finally, the Texas Attorney General named Freedom Forever in its April 2026 solar investigation before the company filed.
How do I find out if my solar company filed for bankruptcy? Initially, check the verified tables on this page, which link to each case record. You can also search PACER by the company’s legal name. Also, keep in mind that the legal name may differ from the brand on your paperwork.
Someone called saying they’re my new servicer. Is it legit? Maybe, maybe not. So don’t pay based on a call, text, or email alone. Instead, confirm in writing using contact details from your original documents or latest statement, or check the bankruptcy case record.
Can Texas Solar Cancellation cancel my solar contract? No. We’re a marketing and intake service, not a law firm. We organize your documents and connect you with a qualified Texas attorney, who can review whether you may have options. No outcome is promised.
Texas law and complaints
Can I still use the Texas DTPA if the installer is bankrupt? The bankruptcy generally pauses lawsuits against the bankrupt company. However, DTPA claims involving other parties may be a separate question. Because DTPA actions generally must be brought within two years, have an attorney review your documents promptly.
Does SB 1036 apply to my contract? SB 1036’s contract requirements took effect September 1, 2025. If you signed before then, other Texas laws, such as the DTPA and the Home Solicitation Act, may be the ones that matter.
Can I sue a solar company that went bankrupt? A bankruptcy filing generally puts an automatic stay on lawsuits against the company. Instead, you may be able to file a proof of claim before the deadline. However, claims involving other parties may be a separate question for an attorney.
Where do I file a complaint in Texas? For solar sales made before September 1, 2025, TDLR directs consumers to the Texas Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection. However, for contracts dated on or after September 1, 2025, and for complaints about electrical contractors, file with TDLR.

Required disclosures
REQUIRED DISCLOSURES: Texas Solar Cancellation is a marketing and intake service. We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, and nothing on this website should be relied on as legal advice. Use of this website, submission of an intake form, or communication with our staff does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only created if a homeowner enters into a written engagement with a qualified law firm.
Eligibility for any legal review depends on the specific facts of the homeowner’s situation, the contents of the homeowner’s contract documents, and applicable Texas and federal law. We do not guarantee any outcome, and no result is promised by submitting an intake. The decision to stop making payments on your solar agreement should only be made under the advice of a qualified attorney. Stopping payments without legal advice may result in default, damage to credit, collections, or other consequences.
Texas Solar Cancellation collects and organizes documentation provided by the homeowner. Any review of those documents is performed by attorneys, not by Texas Solar Cancellation. Bankruptcy information on this page reflects public records as of the “last verified” date and may have changed. If you believe you are the victim of fraud, contact the Texas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, or a licensed Texas attorney.
