G3 Solar Bankruptcy: Your Loan, Warranty and the AG Lawsuits

G3 Solar case status

G3 Solar, LLC filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah on June 10, 2026, case number 2:26-bk-23517, assigned to Judge Michael F. Thomson. The court appointed Mark C. Rose as interim trustee and set the meeting of creditors for July 13, 2026 by Zoom.^[1] Chapter 7 is a liquidation: the company is not reorganizing.

The debtor gave its address as Spanish Fork, Utah. Its creditor list, uploaded June 11, named 59 creditors, and a docket summary shows estimated assets of $0 to $100,000.^[1][2] The docket header marks the case “No asset”, and the latest filing shown is dated September 24, 2026.^[1] See the G3 Solar row in our solar company bankruptcy register for the dated record.

If you have a loan: you still owe your lender

G3 Solar arranged financing through outside lenders. The Ohio Attorney General says consumers were connected with lenders offering 20 to 30 year loans whose payments rose after 18 months unless the homeowner made a “voluntary” payment of about 30%.^[3] The Kansas petition, as reported, describes third-party loans of up to 30 years.^[4] Neither office names the lenders.

• Find your lender: it is the company on your monthly statement and your loan agreement. Not sure? Use our who services my solar loan lookup.
• The bankruptcy does not cancel the loan. The loan is a contract with the lender, and the lender is not the debtor in G3 Solar's case.^[1]
• Check the 18-month step-up. If your payment jumped, your agreement explains the “voluntary” paydown the Ohio AG describes.^[3] Ask the lender for the current balance and payment schedule in writing.
• Sales claims can follow the loan. A seller-arranged consumer credit contract must carry the FTC Holder Rule notice: any holder of the contract is subject to the claims and defenses you could raise against the seller, and recovery cannot exceed what you paid under the contract.^[6] If you were misled about savings, tax credits or the system, put it in writing to the lender, with evidence, ideally with a consumer attorney.
• To exit a working system's loan, the routes are payoff, refinance or sale of the house. See how to get out of a solar loan and solar loan refinance. After payoff, get the lien released: solar UCC lien removal.

If you have a lease or PPA

We found no source saying G3 Solar sold leases or PPAs; both state actions describe loans.^[3][4] If your paperwork is a lease or PPA, the provider named on it owns the system, keeps billing and is not part of G3 Solar's bankruptcy. See our lease exit guide and PPA exit guide.

If you paid cash

You own the system and owe no one for it. What you lose is G3 Solar itself: its workmanship promises and any money it still owed you, such as a refund or a promised payment, are now at most claims against a liquidating company. Equipment warranties come from the manufacturers (below).

Claims in the G3 Solar bankruptcy

• Deadline: the docket header marks the case “No asset” and lists no claims deadline.^[1][2] If the trustee later finds money to distribute, a deadline will appear on the docket; check the case before filing.
• Who has a claim: customers owed money by G3 Solar itself, for example a deposit for a system never installed or unpaid warranty work.
• Trustee: Mark C. Rose, 36 South State Street, Suite 1400, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, (801) 323-3390.^[1] Use case number 2:26-bk-23517 in any letter.
• A bankruptcy attorney can tell you whether a claim is worth filing; see finding a solar lawyer.

Warranty and repairs

The Ohio Attorney General alleges G3 Solar failed to honor written warranties, ignored service requests and made consumers wait a full year before it would review system performance.^[3] With the company in Chapter 7, its own workmanship warranty is unlikely to be honored. Panel, inverter and battery warranties are separate promises from the manufacturers; register them directly.

Ohio and Kansas lawsuits against G3 Solar

These are allegations, not findings of wrongdoing.

• Ohio (January 12, 2026). Attorney General Dave Yost sued G3 Solar in Franklin County Common Pleas Court under the Consumer Sales Practices Act and the Home Solicitation Sales Act. The office alleges high-pressure sales, misleading claims that systems would eliminate or sharply cut electric bills, misrepresented financing, misleading federal tax credit claims (including to elderly consumers with little or no earned income) and unhonored warranties. It seeks injunctive relief, restitution and civil penalties.^[3]
• Kansas (reported September 28, 2026). WIBW reported that Attorney General Kris Kobach filed a petition in Shawnee County against G3 Solar LLC, its three owner-managers and its former sales executive, covering 304 documented transactions. The petition alleges a door-to-door script promising homeowners they would “never pay a power bill”, false claims of a connection to Kansas utilities including Evergy, English-only documents for non-English speakers and finance charges of up to 35% of the amount financed. It seeks civil penalties, a permanent ban on doing business in Kansas, and cancellation of contracts or restitution.^[4][5]
