The record on SunPower — verified

Compiled from court dockets, Florida DBPR records, BBB profiles, and published reporting. Verified July 2026 — sources below.

The original SunPower Corporation went through Chapter 11 in August 2024 and was liquidated; the brand was bought and relaunched by Complete Solaria (renamed 'SunPower,' ticker SPWR, April 2025, CEO T.J. Rodgers) — but the new SunPower did NOT assume warranties on systems installed on or before September 30, 2024.

Bankruptcy / court record

In re SunPower Corporation, et al. (10 debtors), Chapter 11, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, Case No. 24-11649-CTG, filed 8/5/2024 with about $2.01 billion in funded debt. Complete Solaria bought Blue Raven Solar, the New Homes business, the non-installing dealer network, and the SunPower name for $45 million (closed 9/30/2024). Plan confirmed 10/18/2024; effective 11/14/2024. Claims agent: Epiq (dm.epiq11.com/case/sunpower).

Florida license status

Not verified — legacy SunPower sold in Florida primarily through licensed authorized dealers who permitted work under their own FL licenses, so there is no single SunPower FL license to check. The relaunched SunPower installs in Florida through Blue Raven Solar (Orlando office).

Complaint record

Legacy SunPower Corporation BBB profile (Richmond, CA): D- rating, not accredited, flagged for failure to respond to 157 complaints. Post-bankruptcy complaint pattern (BBB, Bloomberg Law): dead or underperforming systems, warranty registration and claims going nowhere, and homeowners bounced between lender, servicer, and panel makers with 'no one taking responsibility.' SunPower had nearly 600,000 customers when it filed.

Florida footprint

Sold across Florida through its authorized-dealer network (dozens of FL dealers, e.g., Solar Energy Systems of Fort Pierce, Florida Building Pros) rather than one company crew. Today's SunPower reaches Florida through Blue Raven Solar (operates in 18 states including FL; Orlando office) and, since September 2025, the Sunder Energy sales network — Florida is one of Sunder's top three markets.

Financing seen on their installs

SunPower Financial wrote in-house loans; leases and PPAs were moved to SunStrong Management (833-514-1858) for billing, collections, and service. Loan notes were sold to various investors — homeowners must check their own paperwork for the current holder. Panel product warranties: Maxeon honors SunPower-branded panels it manufactured (post-2020 spin-off); coverage on Waaree-made panels remains disputed.

What we see on their Florida jobs

Systems installed before 9/30/2024 sit in warranty limbo: the new SunPower didn't assume them, and owners get bounced between the lender, SunStrong, and panel manufacturers. Monitoring apps and service portals went dark for many legacy customers after the sale. Panels made by Waaree are a known coverage gap; Maxeon-made panels still carry a product warranty, which may leave labor costs on the homeowner depending on the claim.

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

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

1. The Holder Rule puts the lender in SunPower'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.
