SunPower Watch.
SunPower was one of the most established U.S. solar brands until filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2024. Tens of thousands of homeowners hold SunPower leases and PPAs whose UCC-1 fixture liens survived the bankruptcy and are now held by successor entities. Quiet-title actions have been filed across multiple states by former SunPower customers seeking to clear those liens.
