What "Orphan Solar" Means for You

When the company that installed your system goes out of business, you become an orphan customer. Your panels, inverter, and battery are still on your roof. They're still covered by manufacturer warranties. But you have no installer to call when something stops working — and no one to file warranty claims, troubleshoot performance issues, or service your system.

This is now common. Over 100 solar companies have filed bankruptcy or shut down in recent years — including SunPower (August 2024), Titan Solar Power (June 2024), Sunnova (June 2025), Pink Energy, Vivint Solar, and most recently Freedom Forever (Chapter 11, April 2026 — headquartered right here in Temecula).

If you're one of them, ElectriCare can help.

What ElectriCare Does for Orphan Customers

Five things every orphaned solar customer needs — and what we provide for each.

Warranty Claims

Most equipment is still under 10–25 year manufacturer warranty. We file claims directly with Enphase, Maxeon, REC, Tesla, and others.

System Inspection

Free visual and production inspection. Full diagnostic report quoted upfront. Catches issues while warranties are still active.

Monitoring Reconnection

Original installer's app dead? We reconnect to native manufacturer monitoring (Enphase Enlighten, SolarEdge, Tesla app).

Repair & Replace

Failed inverter, microinverter, or battery? We diagnose, source warranty parts, and install with our own electricians — never subcontracted.

NEM 3.0 Optimization

Many orphaned systems were sized for NEM 2.0 economics. We add or reconfigure battery storage to restore your savings under NEM 3.0.

Local for the Long Haul

26+ years in business. Same family, same California license (CSLB #778366). When you call in 5 years, we'll still be here.

Common Questions

About orphaned solar systems and warranty service in Southwest Riverside County.

Is my warranty void because my installer went bankrupt?

The workmanship warranty from your installer may be void, but the equipment manufacturer warranties are separate and usually still valid. Panels typically carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty (from Maxeon, REC, LG, Q CELLS, etc.), microinverters have a 25-year warranty from Enphase, string inverters carry 10–12 years from SolarEdge or Fronius, and batteries carry 10 years from Tesla, Enphase, or Franklin. We help you identify exactly what is still covered.

Do I have to pay out of pocket to get my system fixed?

Equipment replacement under manufacturer warranty is typically free — the manufacturer ships the part. What you pay is the labor to install it. We quote labor upfront with no surprises. Diagnostics and inspections are also quoted before any work begins.

Can you help if I have a solar lease or PPA?

Yes. Lease and PPA contracts usually transfer to a successor company (for SunPower, that is SunStrong Management; for Sunnova, also SunStrong Management; for Freedom Forever, the bankruptcy court is determining the assignee). We can still service your system regardless of who holds the contract — though financial questions go to the contract holder.

How quickly can you respond?

Most service calls are scheduled within 1–2 weeks. Emergency outages where the system is fully down are prioritized. Call (951) 696-9669 if your system is producing zero.

Why should I act now if my system is still working?

Three reasons: manufacturer warranties have expiration dates, replacement parts for older inverters become harder to source as time passes, and small issues (failing microinverters, loose connections, monitoring disconnections) are far cheaper to address before they cause production loss. A free inspection now while warranties are valid protects your investment.
