FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS · SOLD BY MERAKI INSTALLERS
The Florida Record on Meraki Installers
BBB’s profile for Meraki Installers, LLC — the company sold in Florida as Meraki Solar — carries an alert that the business is believed to be out of business (BBB, read September 27, 2026). Florida’s Division of Corporations still lists MERAKI INSTALLERS LLC as ACTIVE, with an annual report filed April 8, 2026 (Sunbiz, read September 27, 2026), and Florida DBPR still shows its Certified Solar Contractor license CVC57201 as “Delinquent,Active” past the August 31, 2026 expiration printed on the same record (read September 27, 2026). An ACTIVE state listing is not the same thing as a company that is operating or answering the phone. Below is each record we read, with the date we read it. Start with a free records check: upload your paperwork and within one business day we report what the county permit and inspection record shows and whether the installer held a valid Florida license on your install date. The $99 records package puts those records and the documents you signed in one file, yours to keep.
Meraki Installers: financing and commonly reported problems
Common Lenders
Various.
Many consumer loan contracts carry the FTC Holder Rule notice, which states that the holder of the loan is subject to the claims and defenses a buyer could raise against the seller. Whether it reaches a particular loan is a question for a Florida attorney.
Commonly Reported
Permitting and inspection gaps that leave the homeowner holding the liability.
The paperwork that shows where a project stands — the permit and inspection history, the PTO record, and the funding certificate and its date — can be pulled and organized into one file, yours to keep.
The record on Meraki Installers — verified
Compiled from court dockets, Florida DBPR records, BBB profiles, and published reporting. Each source below carries the date it was read; this record was last read September 27, 2026.
Freedom Forever announced on July 11, 2024 that it had agreed to buy assets from Meraki Solar and to act as the official subcontractor for Meraki’s existing customers; Freedom Forever is now itself in Chapter 7 (see its row on the tracker). Florida’s Division of Corporations still lists MERAKI INSTALLERS LLC, document L17000260581, with Status ACTIVE — last event an LC Amendment filed 12/01/2023, and annual reports filed 01/10/2024, 04/15/2025 and 04/08/2026 (Sunbiz, read September 27, 2026). An ACTIVE status on Sunbiz records that the entity’s state filings are in order. It is not a statement that a company is operating, staffed, or answering calls.
- Bankruptcy / court record
- No federal bankruptcy filing located for Meraki Installers, LLC. We have also not been able to read any Florida chapter 727 assignment for the benefit of creditors for this company in the Escambia County clerk’s own court index, so this page states no such filing and no filing date (checked September 27, 2026). If that record becomes readable, this row will carry it with the date it was read, like every other row. Related: Titan Solar — the installer Meraki part-owned and used for installs — filed Chapter 7 and shut down in June 2024.
- Florida license status
- Florida DBPR lists Certified Solar Contractor license CVC57201 under primary name KUECKER, KYLE A, DBA name MERAKI INSTALLERS LLC, main address in Fort Walton Beach (Okaloosa County). Status reads “Delinquent,Active”; licensure date 11/01/2022; expires 08/31/2026 (read September 27, 2026 — the status still read “Active” after the expiration date printed on the same record). Other license numbers turn up on customer paperwork connected to this installer. Those are separate licenses held by different licensees, and this page does not say which license covered any particular installation.
- Complaint record
- BBB profile (HQ: 21 N New Warrington Rd, Pensacola, FL): not accredited, flagged 'this business is no longer in business,' now shown as Not Rated after previously carrying an F for unanswered complaints. Complaints and press reports describe systems that never produced, roof leaks, ~$700/month combined loan-plus-electric bills, and months of unanswered calls. BuildZoom shows ~2,422 permitted projects worth ~$75M in its last three active years.
- Florida footprint
- Pensacola-based and heaviest in the Panhandle, but licensed statewide (CVC); Florida was one of six states it sold in (AZ, CO, FL, NM, SC, TX). Sales-heavy model: Meraki sold the deals while Titan Solar performed most installs until Titan's June 2024 collapse; Meraki also self-performed under its FL CVC license.
- Financing seen on their installs
- Meraki was a sales/install company, not a lender — customers financed through third parties. BBB complaints name Dividend Finance on stranded accounts (Dividend told one customer post-collapse service was 'not their responsibility'); the full lender list is not verified.
- Reported problems
- The service path for Meraki customers in Florida has changed twice in the public record: Titan Solar, which performed many of the installs, filed Chapter 7 in June 2024, and Freedom Forever, which announced it would take over servicing Meraki’s customers, filed Chapter 11 in April 2026 and was converted to Chapter 7 in August 2026. The records also disagree with each other: BBB flags Meraki as no longer in business while Sunbiz still lists it ACTIVE (read September 27, 2026). That disagreement is the reason one database is never enough on its own. Complaints and press reports describe systems that never produced, roof leaks, and months of unanswered calls. We don’t investigate and we draw no conclusion about any individual system, contract, or account.

“But the lender already paid Meraki Installers — aren't I stuck?”
That is a question only a Florida attorney can answer for your loan. Here is what the rules and the records say in general:
- The FTC Holder Rule notice. Many consumer loan contracts that finance a sale carry the notice the FTC requires, which states that the holder of the loan is subject to the claims and defenses the buyer could raise against the seller, with recovery capped at the amount paid. Whether it reaches a particular loan is a question for a Florida attorney.
- The funding paperwork. Solar lenders usually release money to the installer on a completion certificate, often e-signed on a tablet. The certificate's date, and whether the system had a final inspection and permission to operate by then, are in the records.
- Florida and federal consumer rules. FDUTPA (Florida's deceptive and unfair trade practices statute) and TILA (federal truth-in-lending disclosure rules) set out what sellers and lenders must disclose and may not do. Whether either reaches a particular sale or loan is a question for a Florida attorney.
Stopping payments can damage your credit, and whether to keep paying is a decision to make with a Florida attorney. We do not advise on whether to pay. We put the records in one file, yours to keep.
