Before you sign a contract that could outlive the company installing it, check your installer's financial health. Search bankruptcy status, lawsuit history, and warranty risk — sourced only from public records, never fabricated.

Sourced, not guessed. We only publish financial-health claims we can back with a public source (court filings, SEC documents, industry rankings). Installers we haven't verified yet are marked Data Pending — we never fabricate a bankruptcy or distress event.

Chapter 11 · filed April 15, 2026 Reported debt: $500M–$1B U.S. Bankruptcy Court

US residential solar installer (formerly Sunpro Solar), a division of ADT Inc. (NYSE: ADT). ADT announced its exit from the residential solar business on January 24, 2024, and wound down ADT Solar operations across 20+ states through the first half of 2024. This was a corporate strategic exit, not a bankruptcy filing; the installer division has ceased operations.
Warranty — at risk
ADT Solar is no longer accepting new service work as the division has wound down. Equipment warranties (panels, inverters, batteries) remain backed by their manufacturers, so register your equipment directly. ADT stated it intended to honor certain existing obligations during the wind-down; affected customers should contact ADT corporate and document any open warranty or service claims in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this tracker only have detailed data for a few installers?
Financial-health claims (bankruptcy, lawsuits, warranty status) are legally sensitive, so we only publish an installer's record once we can back every claim with a verifiable public source — a court filing, SEC document, or established industry ranking. Installers we have not yet verified are listed as 'Data Pending' so you still get a result when you search, with guidance on how to check them yourself. We will never fabricate a bankruptcy or distress event to fill out the list.
Freedom Forever went bankrupt — what happens to my warranty?
Equipment warranties (panels, inverters, batteries) are backed by the manufacturer and generally survive an installer bankruptcy, as long as the product is registered in your name. The installer's workmanship/labor warranty is what is at risk when the installer collapses. If Freedom Forever (or any failed installer) installed your system, confirm who the warranty obligor is in your contract and register your equipment with the manufacturer.
How do I check an installer's financial health myself?
For publicly traded companies (Sunrun, Sunnova, Tesla), read the 'Risk Factors' and 'Going Concern' sections of their 10-K and 10-Q filings on SEC EDGAR. For any installer, check Dun & Bradstreet, the Better Business Bureau, and search news for the company name plus 'bankruptcy', 'lawsuit', 'layoffs', or 'restructuring' — looking two to three years back. Our Installer Financial Health Guide walks through the full process.
Is this tool paid for by any installer?
No. EnergyTools is independent and accepts no installer-paid placement. This tracker exists because vetting an installer's financial health is the single most overlooked step in going solar — and no other major solar site tracks it.
Data is curated from public records only — U.S. Bankruptcy Court filings, SEC EDGAR, the Solar Power World Top Contractors List, and established industry reporting. EnergyTools is independent and accepts no installer-paid placement; this tracker receives no compensation from any company listed. Not legal or financial advice. Last reviewed July 3, 2026.
