Freedom Forever — the #2 U.S. residential solar installer of 2025 (6.1% share, Wood Mackenzie) and the company that took over Meraki's Florida customers — is in an active Chapter 11 in Delaware; on June 15, 2026 it pivoted from reorganizing to selling substantially all assets, with bids due early August and an auction targeted for mid-August 2026, and no stalking-horse buyer named yet.

Bankruptcy / court record

Ch. 11 — In re Freedom Forever LLC, Case No. 26-10522, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, D. Del., Judge Brendan L. Shannon, filed April 15, 2026 (affiliates Freedom Forever Pennsylvania, LLC and Freedom Forever Procurement LLC added May 2, 2026). Assets $100M–$500M vs. liabilities $500M–$1B; ~$155M funded debt/trade; secured creditors led by SolarEdge (~$105.7M) and Tesla (~$23M). No new-money DIP — operating on cash collateral. Proposed sale timeline per the June 15, 2026 bidding-procedures motion: bids ~Aug. 5, auction ~Aug. 10–12, sale approval ~Aug. 26, closing ~Sept. 11, 2026 (plan-track effective date Dec. 7, 2026).

Florida license status

Freedom Forever Florida, LLC lists these FL licenses on the company's own licenses page: Certified Electrical Contractor EC13008056, Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1332814, Certified Solar Contractor CVC57157. Live DBPR status of each was not independently re-verified.

Complaint record

BBB (Temecula, CA HQ profile): 1,271 complaints closed in 3 years, with a BBB notation that the business failed to resolve the underlying pattern of complaints; not BBB accredited (rating shown around B+ pre-filing). Texas AG Paxton issued Civil Investigative Demands April 6, 2026 over alleged deceptive sales practices, citing 100+ complaints about misrepresented savings and contract terms.

Florida footprint

Operates statewide through Freedom Forever Florida, LLC (BBB lists a Palmetto, FL location), part of a 35-state + Puerto Rico + D.C. footprint; became the official subcontractor for Meraki's Florida customer base in July 2024 — though BBB complaints report some Meraki-legacy accounts were dropped by Jan. 2026.

Financing seen on their installs

Installer, not a lender — customers financed through third parties, chiefly Mosaic (Mosaic Funding entities are its largest unsecured creditors: a $60M single scheduled claim, with total Mosaic exposure reported around $114M) and GoodLeap, plus system owners like Sunrun on lease/TPO deals. Hardware creditors SolarEdge and Tesla hold the secured debt.

What we see on their Florida jobs

For Florida customers the danger is warranty limbo: Freedom Forever's 10-year-plus workmanship and roof-penetration warranties are debtor obligations that may be reduced or discharged in the sale/plan, depending on what a buyer assumes — only manufacturer equipment warranties (Enphase, Tesla, Q CELLS, SolarEdge) clearly survive. Open service tickets and unfinished installs are stalling while the case runs, and Meraki-legacy customers are now standing in their second insolvency line in two years. Loan payments to Mosaic/GoodLeap remain due regardless.

“But the lender already paid Freedom Forever — aren't I stuck?”

Usually it's the opposite. The fact that your financer handed money to Freedom Forever for a system that never worked is often where your leverage begins — not where it ends.

1. The Holder Rule puts the lender in Freedom Forever's shoes. Nearly every solar loan contract carries the FTC's required Holder Rule notice. So “they never delivered a working system” can be raised against the loan itself — not just against a contractor that may be bankrupt.
2. How they released the money is often the problem. Solar lenders fund installers on a completion certificate — frequently e-signed on a tablet. We regularly see proceeds released before the system was ever operational.
3. You didn't get what you paid for. No working system is a failure of what you bargained for. Layered with FDUTPA (Florida's deceptive practices statute, attorney's fees recoverable) and TILA (federal truth-in-lending, hidden dealer fees), that funding gap is exactly what an attorney builds a claim around.

Important: don't just stop paying on your own — that can damage your credit and weaken your position. We document the gap first, then your attorney disputes it with the evidence already in hand.
