iSun's Bankruptcy: What Solar Customers Need to Know
If your solar system is connected to iSun, recent bankruptcy news may have you worried about warranty support and service. Before you assume the worst, there is an important distinction to understand: the parent company and its subsidiaries are not the same thing.
Some parts of the iSun family were liquidated, while others were reportedly sold and continue operating. Which one installed or services your system makes a real difference, and this article walks through it.
What happened to iSun?
iSun, Inc. was a publicly traded engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company based in Vermont, formerly known as The Peck Company. According to reports, iSun filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2024 in the District of Delaware. A court-approved sale in August 2024 reportedly sent assets to an affiliate of Siltstone Capital, and the case reportedly converted to Chapter 7 liquidation in February 2025.
Here is the key nuance: while the parent entity was liquidated, residential subsidiary SunCommon and other carve-outs were reportedly sold and continue operating under new ownership. So the parent company failing does not necessarily mean the subsidiary that served you has closed.
What this means for your system and contract
The most important step is to identify which entity you actually contracted with. If your system was installed under the SunCommon brand, that subsidiary reportedly continues to operate, which may mean you still have an active servicer for monitoring, repairs, and warranty questions. Please do not assume your service is gone just because you saw headlines about iSun's liquidation.
Separately, if you financed your panels through a lender or leased them through a third party, that loan or lease is generally a distinct contract that typically continues with the finance company regardless of what happened to iSun.

Options and grounds for a review
Bankruptcy and corporate restructuring can leave gaps worth examining, especially where the liquidated parent, rather than a surviving subsidiary, made promises to you. These may include workmanship warranties that are now hard to enforce, financing terms that differed from what you were told, or a lien recorded against your home. If a UCC-1 or similar lien was filed, our overview of UCC-1 solar liens and home sales explains why that can matter at resale.
None of these situations guarantees any particular result, but they can be reasons to have a professional review your contract and your system's history. If you are weighing whether and how to exit, our guide on how to get out of a solar contract in Utah offers general context.
Should you stop making payments?
Please do not stop making payments on any solar loan or lease simply because iSun's parent company was liquidated. Those obligations are generally owed to a separate finance company, and missing payments could bring late fees, collection activity, and credit harm. If credit is a concern, see our article on whether canceling solar can hurt your credit.
Keeping your account current while a professional reviews your situation is usually the safer path. Stopping payments first can weaken your position.
What to do now
- Check your paperwork to confirm which entity installed and services your system, such as SunCommon.
- Gather your installation documents, warranty paperwork, and any financing or lease agreement.
- Contact your servicer, if one is operating, for monitoring or repair needs and keep records.
- Continue making any loan or lease payments on time.
- Get a professional review of your warranty coverage and contract options.
