Pink Energy (Power Home Solar) went bankrupt or shut down. Now what?

Chapter 7 liquidation

Status: Chapter 7 liquidation. Closed in September 2022 and filed Chapter 7 in the Western District of North Carolina on October 7, 2022.

Chapter 7, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina (Charlotte), Case No. 22-50228. Chapter 7 trustee: Jimmy R. Summerlin, Jr. The case was transferred on September 17, 2024, to Judge Paul M. Black, sitting by designation.

Who handles Pink Energy (Power Home Solar) accounts now

No company took over Pink Energy's customers. Loan payments go to your lender. The Chapter 7 trustee is liquidating estate assets; he is not a replacement installer and cannot give legal advice or individual case updates beyond his public case page.

Workmanship and manufacturer warranties

Pink Energy workmanship warranties are not being honored in this liquidation. Equipment warranty claims, including for Generac products, go to the manufacturer.

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 unless a court or your lender says otherwise.
  2. Ask a consumer attorney whether the FTC Holder Rule lets you raise claims against your lender.
  3. Start equipment warranty claims with the manufacturer.
  4. The March 16, 2023 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 Pink Energy (Power Home Solar), 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.

What we could not verify
