The Bankrupt Solar Installer Report

When a solar installer goes under, its customers don't disappear — their warranties, service, and unfinished work do. We mapped every U.S. home that bought solar from a now-bankrupt installer.

The biggest book of solar leads nobody is calling

The residential solar boom left a trail of failed installers. SunPower, Titan Solar, ADT Solar, Infinity Energy, Petersen Dean, Lumio, and dozens more filed for bankruptcy or shut their doors — stranding 419,504 homeowners with $8.7B of installed systems and no one to call.

Those homeowners still need service, repairs, battery add-ons, panel replacements, and someone to honor a warranty. For a healthy installer or O&M provider, they are the highest-intent, lowest-competition leads in the market — already solar-educated, already on a roof you can find in public permit records.

The wave of orphaned customers

Homes that took a solar permit from a company that has since gone bankrupt, by permit year. The 2022 cohort alone is larger than most installers' entire customer base.
