Who handles Sigora Solar accounts now
Sigora no longer operates and no company has been reported as taking over its customers. If you financed your system, keep paying and contact the company that bills you. Panel and inverter warranties remain with the manufacturers, and a licensed local contractor can service your system.
What it means for homeowners
- Sigora's workmanship warranties are no longer being honored because the company stopped operating in September 2023.
- If you won a court judgment against Sigora, ask Virginia DPOR whether you qualify for the Contractor Transaction Recovery Fund.
- The Virginia Attorney General's office has received complaints about Sigora; you can file one too.
- WMRA described Sigora as being in bankruptcy, but we could not find the court case, so check before relying on a bankruptcy claim process.
- Keep paying any solar loan; the lender is a separate company from Sigora.
