PosiGen Solar Bankruptcy
The bankruptcy of PosiGen Solar has created tremendous uncertainty for homeowners across the country who trusted the company to power their homes with solar energy. Thousands of customers now find themselves in a difficult and confusing position: solar systems installed but no provider available to maintain, repair, or support them.
For many, going solar represented financial savings, environmental responsibility, and long-term stability. However, when a solar provider suddenly shuts down, the reality becomes far more stressful than expected. Instead of enjoying clean energy, some homeowners are dealing with malfunctioning equipment, roof damage, unanswered warranty questions, and the fear that the system on their roof is now a stranded asset.

This official resource provides reliable information on solar energy programs, incentives, safety tips, and guidance for managing and maintaining residential solar systems.
If you are a former PosiGen customer, you are not alone—and you still have solutions available.
Solar X LLC is actively helping homeowners recover from the aftermath of the PosiGen shutdown by providing professional diagnostics, repairs, monitoring restoration, and full system rehabilitation. This article explains what the bankruptcy means, the risks it creates, and how homeowners can move forward confidently.
Understanding What the PosiGen Bankruptcy Really Means
When a company like PosiGen files for bankruptcy, customers often assume that another organization will simply take over their contract or that warranties will be honored automatically. Unfortunately, the truth is far more complex.
A bankrupt solar provider typically:
- Stops all service operations
- Shuts down customer service departments
- Terminates maintenance contracts
- Ends monitoring subscriptions
- Ceases warranty coverage on labor
- Loses administrative control over customer records
The equipment installed on your home may still exist, but the human system supporting it disappears overnight.
Solar installations rely on long-term service. Panels can last 25 years or more, but they are part of a larger ecosystem that includes inverters, monitoring devices, electrical connections, roof penetration points, and protection systems. When professional oversight vanishes, minor problems can evolve into major failures.
Why Solar Systems Cannot Be Left Unsupported
A solar array is not a passive structure. It is a live electrical system constantly interacting with your home, the electrical grid, and weather conditions.
Without oversight, systems deteriorate in ways homeowners often cannot detect:
- Internal electrical faults go unnoticed
- Grounding integrity deteriorates
- Panels degrade without monitoring
- Moisture infiltration begins below arrays
- Wiring insulation becomes damaged
- Inverter performance declines silently
The absence of monitoring means problems stay hidden for months or even years. By the time failure becomes obvious, significant damage may already be done.
This is why homeowners affected by the PosiGen bankruptcy must act sooner rather than later. Waiting for a resolution from bankruptcy court rarely works in favor of the customer.
The Emotional and Financial Burden on Homeowners
Beyond the technical issues, there is a personal toll.
Many homeowners:
- Took loans or leases to install solar
- Trusted long-term savings projections
- Relied on service guarantees
- Planned energy independence
Now those projections feel uncertain.
Some are paying monthly fees for systems that no longer produce power. Others fear that repairing the system will cost as much as the installation itself. Many homeowners simply do not know who to call.
This feeling of abandonment is common after solar bankruptcies, but it does not have to be permanent.
The Most Common Problems Former PosiGen Customers Are Facing
1. Systems Producing No Power
One of the most alarming and frequent issues reported is complete production failure.
This can be caused by:
- Inverter breakdowns
- Electrical disconnects
- Wiring faults
- Ground fault errors
- Communication failures
- Firmware corruption
Because there is often no monitoring access, homeowners may not even realize the system has stopped producing power for months.
Zero production means:
- No energy savings
- Higher utility bills
- Unnoticed system deterioration
2. Monitoring Portals No Longer Accessible
Many PosiGen customers report that their monitoring apps have stopped working.
Without monitoring:
- You cannot verify production
- You cannot track savings
- You cannot detect errors
- You cannot confirm health
A solar system without monitoring is equivalent to a vehicle without a dashboard.
3. Roof Leaks Around Solar Penetrations
Water intrusion caused by failed flashing or sealant is a major concern.
Damage may include:
- Ceiling discoloration
- Mold growth
- Insulation failure
- Structural wood damage
- Roof warranty voidance
Because solar penetrations are often hidden by panels, leaks may go undetected until damage is advanced.
4. Critter Damage and Wildlife Infestation
Animals view the shaded area beneath solar panels as shelter.
Common damage includes:
- Chewed wires
- Nesting materials
- Fire hazards
- Ventilation blockage
- Corrosion from droppings
Preventative barriers were not consistently installed in earlier systems.
5. Warranty Uncertainty
Most homeowners assume their warranties are gone. In reality, many manufacturer warranties still exist—but homeowner access to them is disrupted.
Issues include:
- Missing paperwork
- Unsupported claims
- Discontinued equipment
- Outdated serial numbers
Without professional representation, manufacturers may deny claims based on improper documentation.
6. Electrical Safety Risks
Unmaintained solar systems can develop:
- Loose connections
- Exposed conductors
- Improper grounding
- Overheated junction boxes
Electrical risk is not theoretical—it can cause damage or injury.
