Texas Solar Cancellation has published a dataset of 18 residential solar company bankruptcy filings recorded between October 2022 and September 2026.
Dallas, TX (PRUnderground) September 18th, 2026
Texas Solar Cancellation has published a dataset of residential solar company bankruptcy filings covering October 2022 through September 2026. The company counted 18 filings it could confirm against a public record: a federal court website or court document, an official claims agent's case site, a securities filing, a state agency release, or a federal court docket summary. The dataset, a chart and a downloadable spreadsheet are available to journalists and researchers with attribution.
Because the count includes only filings confirmed against a public record, and excludes businesses that closed without filing, the company describes 18 as a floor rather than a total.
What the data shows
Filings clustered in the middle of the period. The count by year runs one filing in 2022, three in 2023, seven in 2024, six in 2025 and one so far in 2026, through September 17.
Most cases were liquidations from the start. Eleven of the 18 filings were made under Chapter 7. Seven were made under Chapter 11, and two of those later converted to Chapter 7.
One district absorbed the largest share. Seven of the 18 cases were filed in the District of Delaware, more than any other court.
Four cases have a direct Texas link. Three were filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. A fourth involved a Texas affiliate that filed its own Chapter 7 case in another district.
Three filings drew no major news coverage the company could find. In two of those cases, the docket shows a trustee's report of no distribution, meaning no assets were available for creditors.
Why the numbers matter to homeowners
A bankruptcy filing rarely ends a homeowner's payment obligation. In most cases a separate lender or system owner holds the loan, lease or power purchase agreement, so payments continue. Manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters and batteries usually continue, while a workmanship warranty from the installer is typically lost in a liquidation. A UCC or fixture filing recorded against the equipment stays on record until it is released, which can complicate a home sale or refinance. Bankruptcy courts also set claim deadlines, and a homeowner who never learns a case was filed can miss one.
Texas rules for newer contracts
Texas revised its residential solar rules through Senate Bill 1036, which created Chapter 1806 of the Texas Occupations Code and is administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. For covered agreements signed on or after September 1, 2025, the agreement must provide a five-business-day right to cancel, must identify a licensed electrical contractor and license number, and must require a third-party lender to cancel any accompanying loan when the agreement is cancelled. Since September 1, 2026, residential solar retailers and salespersons must register with the department.
