The answer
Checked October 21, 2026: Meyer Burger's US companies filed Chapter 11 in Delaware on June 25, 2025 (lead case 25-11217) after closing the Goodyear, Arizona cell plant and laying off 282 workers.[1][3] A liquidating plan was confirmed April 21, 2026 and went effective April 30, 2026; three of the four cases were closed June 29, 2026.[1] The company made panels, not loans: your solar loan and your installer's workmanship warranty are unaffected, and who now honors the panel warranty is not confirmed.

Get matched with a solar exit companyCase status: liquidating plan effective, cases closing
On May 29, 2025 Meyer Burger told all 282 remaining employees at its Goodyear, Arizona solar cell plant that they were terminated and stopped operations, citing a lack of funding; the plant had been ramping toward 1.4 gigawatts a year of cells for the company's US modules.[3] On June 25, 2025 the four US companies filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in Delaware.[1]
The debtors sold assets during the case, including a July 2025 motion to sell about 9 MW of residential modules from a Pennsylvania warehouse to BayWa r.e. Solar Systems LLC for about $1.3 million.[4] They filed a combined liquidating plan and disclosure statement on February 11, 2026; the court conditionally approved the disclosures on March 5, confirmed the plan on April 21, and the plan went effective on April 30, 2026, with a liquidating trustee taking over.[1] On June 29, 2026 the court closed the cases of the three affiliates; the lead case stays open until a final decree. A class settlement in a related adversary proceeding (Gilbert v. Meyer Burger (Americas) Ltd., 25-51042) had a final fairness hearing on the case calendar for October 2026; the case site also shows an October setting cancelled, so check the docket for the current status.[1]

Who honors a Meyer Burger panel warranty now
This is the question most homeowners with Meyer Burger modules have, and we could not confirm the answer. What the record shows: the July 2025 sale motion, as summarized on a docket-tracking site, described the module sale as "as is, where is" with no post-sale warranty obligations for the debtors, and also said the buyer agreed to take on warranty obligations for the panels it bought.[4] We did not verify that summary against the motion, and nothing we found says whether any party assumed warranties on panels already installed on homes before the bankruptcy. The plan is a liquidation, so the debtors themselves will not be servicing warranties.
What to do:
- Start with the installer. Workmanship and system-level production guarantees come from the installer, and many installers carry the manufacturer claim for you. If your installer is also gone, see warranty after an installer bankruptcy.
- Ask the liquidating trustee in writing through the contact on the Kroll case site whether any party assumed product warranties for installed modules.[1]
- Keep the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in mind. It governs written consumer product warranties and gives you a federal claim against the warrantor, but a claim against a liquidated company has little practical value; ask an attorney before spending money on one.[5]
- Repairs: a failed panel can usually be replaced with a compatible module by a licensed installer; costs and what to ask: solar panel repair cost.
Your solar loan is not affected
Meyer Burger sold panels to installers and distributors; it did not finance homeowners. A loan on a system that uses Meyer Burger modules is owed to the lender on your monthly statement, and the manufacturer's bankruptcy gives you no defense against that lender. We do not advise homeowners to stop making payments or breach contractual obligations. If the installer that sold you the system failed too, the FTC Holder Rule may let you raise the installer's failures against the lender; a panel defect alone generally does not. Not sure who you owe? Use who services my solar loan.
Who to contact now
| Your problem | Who to contact |
|---|---|
| Panel failure under warranty | Your installer first; then the liquidating trustee through the Kroll case site[1] |
| Installer gone too | A licensed installer for an inspection; see solar repair after an installer bankruptcy |
| Lender dispute | The CFPB, which takes complaints about personal (installment) loans[6] |
| Claim against the estate | A bankruptcy attorney; the bar dates passed in late 2025[1] |
Checklist
- Find your module model and serial numbers (on the panel labels and the installer's paperwork) and the written product warranty.
- Keep paying your loan; the manufacturer's bankruptcy does not touch it.
- Put warranty claims to your installer in writing and keep the replies.
- Ask the liquidating trustee whether any buyer assumed product warranties for installed modules.
- If a panel fails, get a written replacement quote from a licensed installer before you pay anyone.

Frequently asked questions
Did Meyer Burger file for bankruptcy?
Its US companies did. Meyer Burger (Holding) Corp., Meyer Burger (Arizona) LLC, Meyer Burger (Americas) Ltd. and Meyer Burger (Americas) Lease Co., LLC filed Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on June 25, 2025, jointly administered under case 25-11217 before Judge Craig T. Goldblatt. This page covers the US cases; the Swiss parent's own proceedings are outside its scope.
Is Meyer Burger still in business in the US?
No. The Goodyear, Arizona cell plant stopped operating on May 29, 2025 with 282 terminations, the US debtors sold their remaining assets through the bankruptcy, and a liquidating plan became effective on April 30, 2026. On June 29, 2026 the court closed the cases of three affiliates; the lead case remains open until a final decree.
Who honors the warranty on my Meyer Burger solar panels?
Not confirmed. A docket summary of the debtors' July 2025 motion to sell about 9 MW of residential modules to BayWa r.e. Solar Systems LLC says the buyer agreed to take on warranty obligations for the panels it bought, but we could not verify the motion's text or whether it reaches panels already installed on homes. Start with your installer's workmanship warranty and your inverter maker; for the panels, ask the plan's liquidating trustee through the Kroll case site.
Can I still file a claim in the Meyer Burger bankruptcy?
The general claims bar date was November 21, 2025 and the governmental bar date was December 22, 2025, and the plan went effective on April 30, 2026. A late claim generally needs court permission; ask a bankruptcy attorney before relying on one.
Does the Meyer Burger bankruptcy affect my solar loan?
No. Meyer Burger made panels; it did not finance homeowners. Your loan is owed to the lender on your monthly statement, and your installer, not the manufacturer, is responsible for workmanship. We do not advise homeowners to stop making payments or breach contractual obligations.
What is the Meyer Burger bankruptcy case number?
Lead case 25-11217 (CTG), U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, with affiliated cases 25-11218, 25-11219 and 25-11220, all filed June 25, 2025. Kroll Restructuring Administration hosts the case website.
