Sunworks bankruptcy questions, answered
Is Sunworks still in business?
No. Sunworks and three of its companies stopped work and filed Chapter 7 in February 2024. Chapter 7 means the company is closing and selling what’s left. Its CEO and board resigned, and Nasdaq moved to remove its stock from trading.
When did Sunworks file for bankruptcy?
Sunworks filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on February 5, 2024, along with three of its companies. It stopped operating at the same time. Days earlier, it had announced new funding promises, which shows good news isn’t proof a company is safe.
What is a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 is when a company closes for good. A trustee takes over and sells what’s left to pay what it owes. Customers are usually paid last, if at all. It’s different from Chapter 11, where a company may try to keep going.
Is my Sunworks warranty still good?
It depends on which one. Equipment warranties come from the panel, inverter and battery makers, so they often still count. Sunworks’ own install warranty, which covered the work itself, is likely gone. Save every repair quote and receipt. Call the maker about failed parts.
Who can fix my Sunworks solar system?
A licensed solar installer or electrician near you. Check their license and record first, and get a written quote. For a failed part, the maker’s warranty may cover it. Ask the installer if they can file the warranty claim for you.
Do I still have to pay my Sunworks solar loan?
Usually, yes. Your loan is with a lender, not Sunworks, and the bankruptcy didn’t cancel it. Stay current on payments, and send your lender questions in writing. Missed payments can hurt your credit, so don’t stop without talking to the lender. Get any changes in writing.
Can I file a claim against Sunworks?
If Sunworks owes you money, search the case on PACER, the federal court records site, and check any court notice you got. Claim deadlines may have passed. If you paid a deposit for a home system you never got, up to $3,800 gets priority.
Where did Sunworks install solar?

How many systems did Sunworks install?
Sunworks put in 27,405 solar systems over more than 20 years, adding over 224 megawatts of solar, according to trade reporting. That’s why its shutdown left so many owners looking for new help with repairs and warranties. Check your contract for your system’s parts and warranties.
