Sunworks Has Liquidated: What Homeowners Should Do Now
If Sunworks installed your solar system, learning that the company filed for liquidation can be unsettling, especially if you still have questions about warranty coverage, monitoring, or who to call for repairs. Those concerns are reasonable.
The good news is that you are not necessarily left with nowhere to turn. A successor company reportedly stepped in to support existing systems. This article explains what happened and what your practical next steps may be.
What happened to Sunworks?
Sunworks was a publicly traded national installer of residential and commercial solar, formerly trading on NASDAQ under the symbol SUNW and reportedly headquartered in Provo, Utah. According to reports, Sunworks and several affiliates filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in February 2024 in the District of Delaware, and the company was delisted.
Chapter 7 is a liquidation rather than a reorganization, which means the business was wound down rather than restructured to continue operating. In plain terms, the original Sunworks is no longer in business.
What this means for your system and contract
A liquidation of the installer does not automatically erase separate agreements tied to your system. 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 remains in force with the finance company. So while Sunworks is gone, your monthly payment obligation to a lender or lessor likely continues.
Importantly, existing-system support was reportedly picked up by another company. According to reports, in March 2025 EnergyAid acquired the intellectual property, customer data, and monitoring sites of Sunworks and its subsidiary Solcius in order to service and maintain existing customers. That generally means there is somewhere to turn for support and monitoring, even after the liquidation. If your system was installed under the Solcius brand, our companion article on what to know after Solcius closed covers that side of the same story.
Options and grounds for a review
Even with a successor handling service, a liquidation can leave loose ends worth examining. These may include workmanship warranty promises that are now hard to enforce, financing terms that differed from what you were told, or a lien recorded against your property. If a UCC-1 or similar lien was filed, our guide on UCC-1 solar liens and home sales explains why that matters, particularly if you plan to sell.
None of these situations guarantee a particular result, but they can be reasons to have a professional review your contract, your financing, and your system's history. Our broader guide on what happens when a solar company goes bankrupt offers helpful background.
Should you stop making payments?
Please do not stop making payments on any solar loan or lease simply because Sunworks 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 worry, 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 approach. Stopping payments on your own first can weaken your position.
What to do now
- Gather your Sunworks installation paperwork, any warranty documents, and your financing or lease agreement.
- Identify your finance company and confirm where payments should go if anything has changed.
- Reach out to the successor servicer for monitoring or repair needs, and keep records of your requests.
- Continue making any loan or lease payments on time.
- Get a professional review of your warranty coverage and contract options.
