Titan Solar Power — once one of the largest residential solar installers in the country — abruptly closed its doors on June 13, 2024, and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in Arizona about a week later. The closure affected an estimated 150,000+ customers across 22 states, making it one of the largest waves of "solar orphans" in industry history.
What Chapter 7 means for you
Unlike Chapter 11 (reorganization), Chapter 7 is liquidation: the company is gone, its assets sold off, and there is no successor company obligated to honor Titan's service commitments or workmanship warranty. Practically speaking:
- Titan's workmanship warranty is not being honored. Labor coverage for installation defects ended with the company.
- Your equipment warranties survive. Titan installed panels and inverters from major manufacturers, and those manufacturer warranties (typically 25 years on panels, 10–25 years on inverters) remain valid.
- Your loan is unaffected. Titan sold through dealers and financing partners; your loan is with the lender, and payments continue as normal.
Steps for former Titan customers
- Identify your equipment. Check your contract or the labels on your panels and inverter for brand and model. Titan commonly installed equipment from major manufacturers whose warranty departments accept homeowner claims directly.
- Register your equipment with the manufacturers in your own name, if it wasn't registered or you're not sure. Do this before you need a claim.
- Reclaim your monitoring. If your monitoring was set up under Titan's fleet account, an independent pro can usually migrate it to an account you control.
- Get an independent system audit. Titan's rapid growth drew workmanship complaints in several markets. A professional audit documents your system's condition, catches installation defects while they're still cheap to fix, and establishes the baseline you'll need for any manufacturer claim.
- If you were mid-installation when Titan closed: contact your financing company first — many lenders arranged completion crews — and your state contractor licensing board, which may have recovery funds for consumers left with incomplete work.
Watch out for scavengers
After Titan's closure, homeowners in several states reported cold calls and door-knockers claiming to have "taken over Titan's customers" or demanding inspection fees. No company universally inherited Titan's customer base. Legitimate servicer relationships are ones you choose. Vet any company like your money depends on it — our guide to choosing a reliable solar service provider shows you how.
Your system is fine. It just needs a new caretaker.
