Solar Company Out of Business in Orlando? Who Honors What Now

Part of the complete guide: Failed Solar in Florida: The Complete Homeowner's Guide →

Titan Solar. ADT Solar. Meraki. Freedom Forever. In roughly two years, four big installers serving Orlando shut down or filed for bankruptcy. If your solar company is out of business, this guide covers who still owes you what — and the first three steps to take now.

Central Florida got hit harder than almost anywhere. Orlando was a top market for the big national solar installers. When they fell, thousands of local homeowners were left with half-finished systems, dead warranties, and loans that did not go away.

Frequently asked questions

Is my solar warranty still good if my Orlando installer went bankrupt?

Usually the equipment warranty survives, because it comes from the panel and inverter makers, not the installer. The workmanship warranty — the one covering leaks and installation defects — generally dies with the company. ADT says it honors its ADT Solar warranties. Check our free bankruptcy tracker for your installer's current status.

Freedom Forever installed my system. What should I do before the August 2026 sale?

Gather your contract, loan papers, and permits, and confirm Permission to Operate with your utility — OUC, Duke Energy, or KUA, depending on your address. If you are owed money or repairs, how the bankruptcy court's claims process works for you is a question for a Florida attorney. We are a records company rather than a law firm: we assemble the file, and the attorney list is the same for every customer — independent Florida consumer-protection attorneys, at no fee.

Do I still have to pay my solar loan or PACE assessment if the company is gone?

In most cases, yes — the loan is separate from the installer. A PACE loan appears on your Orange, Osceola, or Seminole county tax bill and survives a home sale. Whether the FTC Holder Rule notice or Florida's s.163.086 reaches a particular loan is a question for a Florida attorney; the attorney list we hand over is identical for every customer, at no charge.

My system never got Permission to Operate. Does the bankruptcy change anything?

Without PTO the utility holds no record that the system was ever cleared to run — a fact worth getting in writing. Start by calling your utility and writing down what it says, with the date. Then put your records in one file; what they mean is a question for a Florida attorney.
