(Featuring a 400-plus Installer Chart: Who’s Still Standing and Who’s Gone)

You invested in a solar system with an installer you trusted. Now the company is silent. The team no longer returns calls. The website is down. Welcome to the uneasy reality faced by homeowners when their solar contractor goes out of business.

That’s why we’re publishing this comprehensive guide along with a detailed chart of more than 400 U.S. solar installers and their current business status (In Business vs. Out of Business). While other lists exist (e.g. from Solar Insure), ours covers many more companies plus legal/consumer-insight commentary you won’t find elsewhere.

Whether you’re dealing with a now-absent installer or doing due-diligence on a current one, this article will walk you through:

1. Why Solar Contractors Are Failing Now

Several converging forces are creating a perfect storm for solar installers. As Solar Insure reports: higher interest rates, tightening financing, policy shifts and working-capital stress have forced many firms to close or exit.
Key drivers include:

Rising borrowing costs: Installers rely on project financing; increasing interest rates erode margins.
Delayed payments from lenders: Some finance models now hold payouts until system approval/interconnection, squeezing cash flow.
Adverse policy/regulatory change: For example, in CA changes to net‐metering (“NEM 3”) reduced the value proposition for homeowners, and thus installer pipeline.
Market saturation + supply chain stress: In some regions the rush to install has peaked, leaving a more challenging market for smaller players.

2. The Real-World Risks When Your Installer Goes Under

When a solar installer goes out of business, the ripple effects can be significant.

Warranties that once offered peace of mind may become difficult, or even impossible, to enforce if the company no longer exists.

Service and maintenance support, including monitoring and system repairs, may suddenly stop.

Financing can also become more complicated, as questions arise about who is responsible for monitoring performance or fulfilling service obligations.

If you plan to sell your home, transfer ownership, or update permits and interconnection records, those processes can quickly become tangled without the original installer’s involvement.

In many cases, homeowners are left waiting for another contractor to step in, often at additional cost.

3. The Installer Status Chart

Below is our (approx.) 400 + installer table (alphabetical) showing current status: “Active/In Business” vs “Closed/Out of Business/Bankrupt”.

Notes about the data:

Status: Status is based on the most current public filings, company communications, insolvency notices, and industry databases.

Out of business: “Out of Business” includes firms that have ceased operations entirely, filed for bankruptcy, or have major divisions shut down rendering them unable to fulfill typical installer commitments.

In business: “In Business” means the company is publicly operating, accepting new jobs, and has not announced an exit/closure.

Update: The list is updated as of November 2025, but conditions can change quickly. Always do your own due diligence and verify recent status.

Disclaimer:

This list is provided by Prevost Law Firm as a courtesy resource. It is based on internal research conducted during the course of our client case management. It is intended solely as a starting point to help homeowners begin their own research into the status of solar installation companies.

Because solar companies frequently change ownership, merge, or cease operations, the information presented here may not always be current or complete. We make every effort to maintain accuracy, but we cannot guarantee that all entries reflect the most recent business status.

This list should not be relied upon as definitive or comprehensive.

If you are concerned about the status of your installer or the validity of your warranty or financing agreement, we recommend verifying information directly with the company, manufacturer, or relevant state agencies, and seeking professional legal advice for your specific situation.

What You Should Do Right Now (If Your Installer Is Out or Unresponsive)

Here’s your action plan:

Gather all documentation

Your contract/agreement with the installer.
Permits, interconnection paperwork.
Manufacturer warranties for panels/inverters.
Monitoring/log-in access for your system.
Financing documents or lease/PPA paperwork.

Confirm installer status

Check the chart above to see if your installer is listed as “Out of Business”.
Search for company filings, bankruptcy records, state licensing board notices.
Try contacting them directly; if there’s no response, document your attempts.

Contact the manufacturers

Panels/inverters often have warranties that can survive an installer failure. You will likely need proof of purchase, system ID, etc.
Ask: “If the installer stops servicing the system, what happens next?”

Seek a replacement service provider

Even if the installer is gone, your system still exists and may need monitoring/maintenance.
Beware of “repair scams”. Get multiple quotes, verify licensing, check references.

Check financing obligations

If you financed the system or signed a lease/PPA: you may still owe payments even if installer is gone.
Review your obligations, check whether service/monitoring is still being delivered.
Inform yourself of your rights under consumer protection laws in your state.

Consider legal consultation

If you’ve been charged for work not completed, or you are being asked to pay for a system that never achieved promised performance because of installer exit.
At Prevost Law Firm we evaluate cases for homeowners whose installers vanish, leave unwarranted systems, or mislead customers about financing/funding.
There is no upfront cost for an initial review. We treat it as part of your system investment protection.

Why This Matters for Homeowners & the Solar Industry

When a large installer closes its doors, the consequences ripple outward:

Homeowners with “abandoned” systems may face safety risks, under-performance, or warranty voids.
The value of solar investments in homes may be undermined if service/support isn’t available.
Industry confidence takes a hit, which affects future installations, financing models, and innovation.
Proactive monitoring and contingency planning help buffer risks.
