Methodology & caveats

  • • Scope is residential solar in the United States. Project developers, utility-scale EPCs, and module manufacturers are not included unless they also operated a direct-to-homeowner install arm.
  • • “Closed” covers bankruptcy filings, voluntary shutdowns, acquisitions that retired the consumer-facing brand, and clear public exits from residential installation. Brand retirement after an acquisition is flagged separately because existing customers typically still have a successor to call.
  • • Every entry is sourced to public reporting or filings. Citations are plain-English (outlet names, dates) so readers can verify directly. We do not link to third-party news sites we do not control because link rot ruins this kind of list.
  • • Entries are updated as events happen. If you spot an error or know of a closure we are missing, let us know and we will review it with a fresh source check.

If your installer is on this list

You are not stuck. The path forward depends on whether the company was acquired, liquidated, or quietly walked away. Our guide walks through the specific steps for each pattern, the NY and national consumer-protection paths, and how to restore warranty access when a company is gone.

Common questions when an installer closes

SunPower filed bankruptcy — what happens to my solar panels and warranty?
SunPower filed Chapter 11 in August 2024. Panel and inverter equipment warranties still run through the original manufacturers (e.g., Maxeon, SunPower-branded equipment). Workmanship warranties tied to SunPower directly are harder to recover; your best path is to identify each component by serial number, then contact the manufacturer's homeowner support line.
ADT Solar closed — who do I call for service or warranty issues?
ADT Solar (formerly Sunpro Solar) exited residential installation in early 2024. ADT Inc. restructured its remaining customer-service obligations under the parent company. For hardware warranties, contact the equipment manufacturers directly — inverters and panels carry their own manufacturer warranties independent of the installer.
Titan Solar Power shut down — what happens to my deposit or in-progress install?
Titan Solar Power ceased operations abruptly in 2024, leaving many customers with paid deposits and unfinished work. File a complaint with your state attorney general's consumer-protection office immediately. If you paid by credit card, initiate a chargeback dispute. For partially completed installs, document everything with photos before any other contractor touches the system.
My solar installer went out of business — is my warranty still valid?
It depends on which warranty. Equipment warranties (panels, inverters, batteries) are provided by the manufacturer and survive the installer's closure — contact each manufacturer directly with your serial numbers. Workmanship or labor warranties tied to the installer are much harder to recover unless the company was acquired by a successor.
My solar company disappeared — how do I get monitoring access back?
Contact the inverter manufacturer directly (Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA, Fronius, etc.) with your system's serial number and proof of ownership. Most manufacturers can transfer monitoring portal access to the homeowner without the original installer.
Solar installer went bankrupt in New York — what are my consumer protection options?
In New York, file a complaint with the Department of State's Consumer Protection Division or the Attorney General's consumer complaint portal. If your system is financed through a loan, also notify your lender — lenders sometimes have dispute processes for contractor failures. NYSERDA may also have guidance if the install involved state incentive programs.
