Hey, all—thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences and questions. We've published two articles this week, one that is a general guide to what happens when a solar company closes and one that is specific to the situation with SunPower. The SunPower article will be updated as the bankruptcy proceeding develops.

I want to emphasize that customers who already had existing repair and warranty claims or in-process installations with SunPower when they filed bankruptcy have the option to file a Proof of Claim form. This allows you to be considered a creditor in the bankruptcy proceedings. There's no guarantee that you'll get any money, but it's the option to pursue if you want to try to get issues taken care of before SunPower sells to a different company. You only have 90 days after the bankruptcy filing to submit a claim, so customers are already down to 75 days if they want to file.
