Freedom Pros Solar Lawsuits and Bankruptcy: WARN, Texas AG, Silfab

The Freedom Pros solar lawsuit picture centers on Freedom Forever LLC, the company behind the Freedom Pros sales name, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 15, 2026, and is now facing employee class actions, a Texas Attorney General investigation into its sales practices, and a court-supervised sale of substantially all of its assets.¹ For the roughly 150,000 homeowners with systems sold under the Freedom Pros or Freedom Forever names, the immediate concerns are warranty coverage, ongoing service, and loan payments that continue regardless of what happens to the installer.²

Freedom Pros Is Freedom Forever

Freedom Pros is not a separate company. An online business profile for Freedom Pros describes the entity as representing “Freedom Forever, the #1 installer of residential Solar in the USA,” listing roofing, solar panel installation, and electrical work out of Buena Park, California.³ The name was used within Freedom Forever’s dealer network, in which independent authorized dealers sold systems under various brand names while Freedom Forever handled installation and financing coordination. Any legal claims, warranty obligations, and bankruptcy consequences tied to Freedom Forever apply equally to systems sold as Freedom Pros. In Texas, the same operation used the name “Freedom Solar.”⁴

The Bankruptcy at a Glance

Freedom Forever LLC filed its Chapter 11 petition on April 15, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, before Judge Brendan L. Shannon. The company reported debts exceeding $500 million against assets of between $100 million and $500 million.¹ Two affiliated entities followed on May 2, 2026: Freedom Forever Pennsylvania, LLC and Freedom Forever Procurement LLC.⁵

The largest creditor is Mosaic Funding, a solar finance company owed nearly $120 million. Mosaic itself had filed for Chapter 11 in June 2025, cutting off one of Freedom Forever’s key financing lifelines.⁶ The filing stated that once administrative expenses are paid, no funds are expected to be available for unsecured creditors.⁷ For homeowners who might otherwise hope to recover money through the bankruptcy, that projection is significant: general unsecured claims, which is the category most consumer claims fall into, are unlikely to see a distribution.

The Lawsuits

Employee WARN Act Class Actions

About 1,600 Freedom Forever employees were laid off around the time of the bankruptcy filing, reportedly without receiving owed wages and benefits. Within days, two adversary proceedings were filed in the bankruptcy court alleging violations of the federal WARN Act, which requires employers to give advance notice before mass layoffs.

Quinones et al v. Freedom Forever LLC (Case No. 26-50237) was filed as a proposed class action on April 22, 2026, by Jacob Quinones and Jose Quinones. An amended complaint added a count on April 27, 2026, and a pretrial conference was scheduled for July 15, 2026.⁸ Kelley v. Freedom Forever LLC (Case No. 26-50238) was filed the next day, with later filings identifying Prophett Kelley alongside Jacob Quinones as plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated.⁹ Both cases remain pending, and as of June 2026, Freedom Forever had not filed a responsive pleading; the parties stipulated to extend the company’s deadline to respond.

These cases involve employees, not customers. Homeowners are not part of the proposed class.

Texas Attorney General Investigation

On April 3, 2026, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an initiative targeting residential solar companies for alleged “fraudulent and deceptive practices.” Three days later, the AG’s office issued Civil Investigative Demands to four companies, including Freedom Forever (operating in Texas as Freedom Solar), Sunrun, Lone Star Solar Services, and CAM Solar. The demands focus on possible violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices–Consumer Protection Act: misrepresentation of energy bill savings, misleading claims about equipment quality, deceptive contract terms, and aggressive door-to-door sales tactics. Companies were required to produce documentation showing how they tracked electricity bill changes used to support savings claims, along with warranty and service plan details.⁴

No lawsuit or fine has been filed. The investigation remains open, running alongside the bankruptcy. Freedom Forever filed for Chapter 11 nine business days after the CID was issued.⁴

The Silfab Supplier Suit

Before the bankruptcy, Freedom Forever’s procurement arm sued one of its panel suppliers in federal court in Southern California. In Freedom Forever Procurement LLC v. Silfab Solar Inc. (Case No. 3:2024cv02452), the company alleged that Silfab agreed to supply over 116,000 solar modules but delivered fewer than half that number, forcing Freedom Forever to source panels elsewhere at higher cost and causing losses from breached customer contracts. Judge Thomas J. Whelan denied Silfab’s motion to dismiss on venue grounds in April 2025. The claims include breach of contract, breach of the obligation of good faith, promissory estoppel, and negligent misrepresentation.¹⁰ Some of the “breached customer contracts” referenced in that suit are the incomplete installations homeowners have been complaining about.

The Sales Practices Behind the Complaints

Freedom Forever relied heavily on a dealer network model, where independent sales teams marketed and sold systems while the company handled installation. Industry observers have attributed many consumer problems to that structure, which created incentives for aggressive selling without adequate oversight. A May 2024 CBS News investigation reported that some homeowners alleged they had been signed up for solar loans without their consent, with signatures they said were forged on documents.⁷

Complaints in multiple states follow a similar pattern. Homeowners reported being told they would receive solar “at no cost” or through “grants,” when in reality they were being enrolled in multi-decade financing agreements carrying high interest. Others said salespeople misrepresented tax credit benefits, which offered little value to retirees on fixed incomes, or promised savings that never materialized. Installation quality was another recurring theme, with reports of badly designed systems, panels that were never connected to the power grid, and in some cases systems that were never installed at all while the homeowner remained responsible for loan payments. By August 2024, the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs alone had received nearly 20 complaints about Freedom Forever and Mosaic.¹¹

The Proposed Asset Sale

On June 15, 2026, Freedom Forever filed a motion seeking court approval for bidding procedures to sell substantially all of its assets or pursue a restructuring plan, with Cascadia Capital, LLC hired to run the process. The proposed timeline set a stalking horse bidder notice for July 22, 2026; a bid deadline of August 5; an auction, if needed, on August 10; a sale hearing on August 26; and a closing deadline of September 11, 2026. The sale would be conducted “free and clear” of all prior claims, meaning any buyer would not inherit pre-existing liabilities except as specifically agreed.¹²

The “free and clear” structure matters to homeowners. A buyer purchasing Freedom Forever’s assets is generally not required to assume workmanship warranties or unresolved customer claims unless the purchase agreement specifically says so. Whether ongoing service and warranty support survive the sale depends on what any eventual buyer agrees to take on.

What Homeowners Should Do Now

The bankruptcy does not shut down a functioning solar installation, but it creates real risks around service, maintenance, and warranty support. A few steps matter more than others.

Secure the paperwork first. Download all contracts, financing agreements, warranties, change orders, permits, inspection records, production reports, and monitoring screenshots from the Freedom Forever customer portal before it potentially goes offline. Take photographs of the system and any existing damage to the roof or home.²

Keep paying the loan or lease. Freedom Forever was the installer, but financing agreements with companies like Mosaic, GoodLeap, or EnFin are separate legal obligations that do not disappear because the installer filed for bankruptcy. Stopping payments risks default on the financing.²

Watch performance. If the Freedom Forever dashboard stops working, third-party monitoring tools can check whether panels and inverters are producing as expected. If production drops or stops, contact the company holding the financing contract to report the issue, prevent estimated billing, and ask about credits under any performance guarantee or uptime clause.²

Understand which warranty is which. Workmanship warranties, which cover the installation itself, were backed by Freedom Forever and are effectively at risk in the bankruptcy. Equipment warranties on panels, inverters, and batteries are typically provided directly by the manufacturers and remain valid independent of the installer. Identify the make and model of the equipment so manufacturer warranty claims can be pursued directly or through independent service providers.¹³

Consider claims against the finance company. Homeowners dealing with incomplete installations, systems that never worked, or alleged misconduct during the sales process may have legal options beyond the bankruptcy itself. The FTC Holder Rule can allow borrowers to assert claims against a finance company if the installer engaged in misconduct, particularly where systems were never completed or failed to perform as promised. Whether the rule applies depends on the specific language in the financing documents.⁶
