How to get out of
a Freedom Forever contract.

Who this applies to

This guide is for homeowners who bought or financed a solar system sold or installed by Freedom Forever. Most Freedom Forever systems were financed through a partner such as GoodLeap, EverBright, Sunrun, EnFin, or another finance company, using a loan, a lease, or a power purchase agreement (PPA). Some customers paid cash.

Freedom Forever filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 15, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 26-10522. On August 7, 2026, the case was converted to Chapter 7 liquidation, and a Chapter 7 trustee was appointed. The company is not expected to keep operating, so the exits below run through your finance company, not the installer.

Your contract is with the finance company

Look at who sends your monthly bill. That company holds your loan, lease, or PPA, and the bankruptcy does not cancel it. Keep paying while you work out your options, because missed payments can bring late fees, credit damage, and collection.

• Loan: you own the equipment and owe the lender.
• Lease or PPA: the finance company usually owns the equipment and handles maintenance and any production guarantee.
• Cash: you own the system outright, and your options are mostly warranty and bankruptcy claims.

Not sure who holds your account? Use our account contact finder or the Freedom Forever status page. Ask the finance company to confirm in writing who owns your contract today.

If you signed recently

If you signed at home, the FTC’s Cooling-Off Rule generally gives you until midnight of the third business day after the sale to cancel for a full refund. Saturdays count as business days. Sundays and federal holidays do not. Many states add their own, sometimes longer, windows for solar or home solicitation sales. Check yours on our state solar laws page.

Send the cancellation in writing, postmarked by the deadline, to the address in your contract. Because Freedom Forever is liquidating, send a copy to the finance company as well, and keep proof of mailing. Our cancellation letter template can help. Most Freedom Forever contracts are now well past any window, but a missing cancellation notice can matter, so keep your paperwork.

If your system was never finished

During the Chapter 11 phase, the court gave several finance partners, including Credit Human, EnFin, EverBright, GoodLeap, Participate, Project Solar, and Sunrun, relief to hire new contractors, complete installations, and bring systems to permission to operate.

If your system is unfinished or never got permission to operate, contact your finance company in writing. Ask whether your project is being completed, by whom, and when. Ask whether payments are due on a system that does not work, and whether your contract allows cancellation if it is never finished. Keep every answer. A system that was never delivered is one of the strongest facts you can have in a dispute.

Getting out after installation

Once a working system is in place, there is rarely a simple cancel button. The realistic exits depend on the type of contract, and your own agreement controls.

• Loan: pay it off, refinance it, or pay it from the proceeds when you sell. See how to get out of a solar loan.
• Lease: many leases offer a buyout, a prepayment option, or a transfer to a qualified buyer when you sell. See the solar lease exit guide.
• PPA: similar options often apply. See the solar PPA exit guide.

Ask the finance company for any buyout or payoff figure in writing, with how it was calculated. If you plan to sell your home, contact the finance company as soon as you list. A lease or PPA buyer usually has to qualify, and a loan is usually paid at closing, along with the release of any UCC filing on your property record.

The bankruptcy case and the claim deadline

The deadline for general creditors to file a proof of claim was October 16, 2026. That included customers with unfulfilled deposits or warranty claims. If you missed it, talk with a bankruptcy attorney about whether a late claim is possible. Customer claims in a liquidation are usually unsecured and often paid little, so treat a claim as one step, not the plan.

Freedom Forever’s workmanship warranty is unlikely to be honored. Panel, inverter, and battery warranties usually come from the manufacturers, so contact them directly with your model and serial numbers. Save your contract, statements, permits, and monitoring data now, since company portals can stop working without notice. Our document checklist lists what to keep.

If you were misled when you signed

The bankruptcy does not erase what you were told. If a salesperson promised savings that never came, a tax credit you could not use, or a payment that would never rise, those statements may matter to the company that holds your contract today. If your loan contract includes the FTC Holder Rule notice, claims against the seller may be raised against the lender, generally up to what you have paid.

Read misled by a solar salesperson, gather your documents, and tell us what happened.

Complaints and the Texas investigation

In April 2026, the Texas Attorney General announced Civil Investigative Demands to Freedom Forever, Sunrun, Lone Star Solar Services, and CAM Solar under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The office said it is looking into possible misrepresentations about bill savings, system performance, installation, and company terms. An investigation is not a finding of wrongdoing.

You can file a complaint with your state attorney general. If your problem is with a lender or loan servicer, you can also file with the CFPB. Our complaint guide and complaint letter walk you through it.
