Who handles Freedom Forever accounts now
Freedom Forever is in Chapter 7 liquidation and is not expected to provide service or honor workmanship warranties. Most systems were sold as leases or PPAs, so the company that bills you (for example Sunrun, EverBright, GoodLeap, or another finance partner) owns the contract and is the first call for service, performance guarantees, and the UCC filing. Court papers advise customers to contact their financing provider directly. For unfinished installations, the court allowed finance partners (Credit Human, EnFin, EverBright, GoodLeap, Participate, Project Solar, and Sunrun) to hire new contractors and complete projects. Equipment warranties stay with the panel, inverter, and battery manufacturers.
Bankruptcy case. Chapter 7 (filed as Chapter 11; converted August 7, 2026), U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, case 26-10522 (BLS), filed April 15, 2026. Claim deadline: October 16, 2026. Case website and claim forms.
What it means for homeowners
- Keep making loan, lease, or PPA payments; the bankruptcy does not cancel your contract with the finance company.
- Identify whether you have a loan, lease, or PPA, and contact the company that bills you for service and production issues.
- The October 16, 2026 claim deadline has passed; homeowners who missed it should talk to a bankruptcy attorney about whether a late claim is possible.
- Download contracts, permits, and monitoring data now, since company portals may shut down.
- If your system was never finished or never got permission to operate, ask your finance company whether it is completing the project under the court's relief order.
- Manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters, and batteries generally remain with the manufacturers; labor and roof workmanship warranties from Freedom Forever are unlikely to be honored.
