Get My Free ReviewFrequently Asked Questions
Which solar company has the most complaints?
Sunrun has the most consumer complaints of any residential solar company, with 2,847 tracked complaints across BBB, CFPB, and state attorney general filings. Pink Energy (now bankrupt) had 2,134 complaints before shutting down.
Is SunPower still in business?
SunPower filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2024. The company is still technically operating but has significantly reduced its operations. Existing customers face uncertainty about warranty coverage and ongoing service.
What solar company has the best rating?
Among major solar companies, Blue Raven Solar and Elevation Solar have the fewest complaints relative to their installation volume. However, Blue Raven was acquired by SunPower, which has since filed for bankruptcy.
Can I cancel my solar contract?
Yes, in many cases. Most solar contracts have a 3-day right of rescission. After that, cancellation depends on your contract type (lease, PPA, or loan), the company's policies, and your state's consumer protection laws. Visit our free contract review page for personalized guidance.
What should I do if my solar company went bankrupt?
If your solar company filed for bankruptcy, file a proof of claim with the bankruptcy court, document all warranty claims in writing, contact your state's consumer protection office, and consult a consumer attorney. You may still have rights under manufacturer warranties even if the installer is gone.
