Freedom Forever Filed for Bankruptcy. Here's What You Need to Do.

Freedom Forever, the second-largest residential solar installer in the US, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 15, 2026 in Delaware. The company reported liabilities between $500 million and $1 billion against assets of $100–$500 million. The filing affects an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 creditors — including homeowners across 35 states.

Before filing, Freedom Forever had already shut down operations in 10 states and laid off 20% of its workforce. The Texas Attorney General had also named the company in a crackdown on deceptive solar sales practices just weeks before the filing.

✅ Your panel and inverter warranties — still fully valid

Freedom Forever installed the equipment but did not manufacture it. Your panel warranty is with the manufacturer (Qcells, Canadian Solar, Jinko Solar, Silfab, etc.) and your inverter warranty is with Enphase or SolarEdge. These companies are unaffected by Freedom Forever's bankruptcy and continue to honor warranties directly with homeowners.

✅ Your monitoring access — transferable

If you use Enphase Enlighten or SolarEdge monitoring, you can transfer your system to your own account directly. Contact Enphase at enphase.com/support or SolarEdge at monitoring@solaredge.com with your system serial number to initiate the transfer.

⚠️ Your workmanship warranty — likely gone

Freedom Forever's installation workmanship warranty (typically covering installation quality defects) was issued by Freedom Forever and is likely uncollectable through bankruptcy. However, if a workmanship defect caused equipment damage, that damage may still be covered under your manufacturer warranty.

⚠️ Leases and PPAs — watch for transfer notices

If you have a lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Freedom Forever, your contract is a financial asset that will likely be sold to another company through the bankruptcy process. Watch your mail and email for notices about who your new servicer will be. Continue making payments as instructed to avoid any service disruption.

1. Check your system is still producing power. Log into your Enphase or SolarEdge monitoring app. If you've lost access, contact the monitoring company directly to transfer ownership to your name.
2. Locate your original installation documents. Find your contract, permit, equipment specs, and any warranty registration documents. These are critical for any future warranty claims.
3. Identify your panel and inverter manufacturers. Check your contract or look at the equipment itself. Common Freedom Forever equipment includes Qcells, Canadian Solar, Jinko Solar, and Silfab panels with Enphase or SolarEdge inverters.
4. If your system has a problem, file a manufacturer warranty claim now. Don't wait for the bankruptcy to resolve. Contact your panel and inverter manufacturers directly. Solar Warranty Navigator generates a complete claim letter and action plan specific to your equipment in under 5 minutes.
5. If you have a lease or PPA, watch for servicer transfer notices. Your financing contract will likely be sold to a new company. Document everything and keep records of all communications.
6. File a creditor claim if you're owed money. If Freedom Forever owes you a refund or compensation, you can file a proof of claim in the bankruptcy proceeding. Monitor the case at the Delaware bankruptcy court or hire a local attorney for guidance.
