Freedom Forever went bankrupt or shut down. Now what?

Chapter 7 liquidation

Status: Chapter 7 liquidation. Filed Chapter 11 on April 15, 2026; converted to Chapter 7 liquidation on August 7, 2026.

Chapter 7 (filed as Chapter 11), U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 26-10522 (BLS), Judge Brendan L. Shannon. Chapter 7 trustee: Alfred T. Giuliano. Claims agent: Kroll.

Who handles Freedom Forever accounts now

No buyer took over Freedom Forever's customers: the company's sale effort failed and it is being liquidated by a trustee. Most systems were sold with a loan, lease or PPA, so the company that bills you (for example Sunrun, EverBright, GoodLeap or another finance partner) is your first call. Court papers advise customers to contact their financing provider directly.

Workmanship and manufacturer warranties

In Chapter 7 liquidation, Freedom Forever is not expected to perform service or honor its workmanship (labor and roof) warranty. Panel, inverter and battery warranties come from the manufacturers and are not cancelled by the bankruptcy.

To claim an equipment warranty, find the brand and serial number on your contract or the equipment label, then contact the manufacturer directly:

Many manufacturers require a certified installer to do the inspection; ask them for a local referral.

What to do now

  1. Keep paying your loan, lease or PPA as billed. The bankruptcy does not cancel your finance contract.
  2. If your system was never finished or never received permission to operate, ask your finance company whether it is completing the job under the court's stay-relief order.
  3. Download your contract, permit numbers and monitoring data now; installer portals can go offline.
  4. The October 16, 2026 claim deadline has passed. If you missed it, a bankruptcy attorney can tell you whether a late claim is possible.

Permits, monitoring and your utility

Your permit and final inspection record is held by your city or county building department, not the installer. Your utility holds the interconnection (permission to operate) record. If your monitoring app was run by Freedom Forever, create your own account directly with your inverter maker (for example Enphase Enlighten or SolarEdge mySolarEdge) so you can see production yourself.

Loan, lease or PPA questions

Your finance agreement is a separate contract. Ask the company that bills you: (1) who services the system under the contract, (2) whether any performance guarantee still applies, (3) what happens if you sell the home, and (4) whether there is a UCC filing on your property.
