SunPower (legacy SunPower Corp.) went bankrupt or shut down. Now what?

Chapter 11; assets sold

Status: Chapter 11; assets sold. Legacy SunPower filed Chapter 11 on August 5, 2024. Today's SunPower Inc. is the former Complete Solaria, a different company.

Chapter 11, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 24-11649 (CTG). Claims agent: Epiq.

Now handled by SunStrong Management (legacy leases/PPAs)

Who handles SunPower (legacy SunPower Corp.) accounts now

If you lease or have a PPA with legacy SunPower, SunStrong Management handles billing and service. The new SunPower Inc. (Orem, Utah) did not take over legacy leases or PPAs (per Solar Accountability's review of its warranty page). Cash and loan customers should contact their lender about the loan and a local installer for repairs.

Workmanship and manufacturer warranties

Legacy SunPower's own workmanship warranty went down with the bankrupt company. Maxeon, which manufactured SunPower-branded panels, published a warranty support letter for those panels in August 2024; check Maxeon's warranty page for current eligibility and how to file. Inverters and batteries are warranted by their own manufacturers (often Enphase).

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. Lease/PPA: contact SunStrong Management for service, billing, refinancing or a home sale.
  2. Owned or loan: hire a licensed local installer for repairs; start panel claims with Maxeon and microinverter claims with Enphase.
  3. Bankruptcy claims against legacy SunPower are handled in the Delaware case (Epiq), not by SunStrong or SunPower Inc.

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 SunPower (legacy SunPower Corp.), 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

  • Whether Maxeon's panel-warranty support applies to your specific panels and install date; Maxeon sets the eligibility rules, so confirm with Maxeon.
  • Some sources describe Complete Solaria as taking over SunPower customers. Per SunPower Inc.'s own statements as summarized by Solar Accountability, that is not the case for legacy lease, PPA or pre-September 30, 2024 systems.
