Workmanship and manufacturer warranties
We could not confirm whether Zeo honors Lumio's workmanship warranties. Ask Zeo and your lender in writing. Manufacturer warranties stay with the equipment makers.
To claim an equipment warranty, find the brand and serial number on your contract or the equipment label, then contact the manufacturer directly:
What to do now
- Ask Zeo Energy, in writing, whether it will honor your Lumio workmanship warranty.
- Keep paying your lender or lessor as billed.
- Pre-bankruptcy claims against Lumio go through the Delaware case (Stretto), not Zeo.
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 Lumio, 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.
