Orphaned system rescue
Meraki Solar is gone. Your panels are still on the roof.
Meraki, a Pensacola-based installer, sold its assets in July 2024 and was wound up through a creditor liquidation filed in Escambia County in August 2025. Its customers are spread across Florida. We are an independent Florida solar contractor. We take over systems like yours, tell you in writing what is actually wrong, and get them producing again.
✓Licensed & insured
✓Any roofer. Any installer. Any brand.
✓Orlando to Miami, one crew
✓Written quote before a panel moves
What it means for your roof
What happens to a Meraki Solar system now
When a company is liquidated rather than simply closed, service obligations do not automatically follow the assets to the buyer. In practice that means no one is coming unless you hire someone. The factory warranties on the hardware are unaffected.
What we usually find on these systems
- ✓Told your service moved to another company that then declined the job
- ✓Install finished but the utility interconnection never completed
- ✓Monitoring never handed over to you
- ✓Inverter under warranty with no one to file it
- ✓Re-roof coming up and no as-built drawings anywhere
Straight answer first
We have never been part of Meraki Solar
Art of Solar is an independent, licensed and insured Florida solar contractor. We were never a Meraki Solar dealer, subcontractor or affiliate, and we are not taking over its obligations. What we do is service the equipment that company left on your roof, the same way we service every other brand.
- Panels and inverter warranty
- Held by the manufacturer, not the installer. Usually still good.
- Workmanship warranty
- Belonged to Meraki Solar. Gone when the company went.
- Your loan or lease
- Separate contract. It does not end because the installer did.
On the record
What is known about Meraki Solar
Meraki Solar worked in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, South Carolina and Texas. In July 2024 Freedom Forever bought Meraki's assets and said it would act as the official subcontractor for Meraki's existing customers.
That promise is narrower than it sounds. A subcontractor works under the terms it agreed to, so homeowners who were told their service moved to the buyer should get those terms in writing for their own address before they count on them.
Wherever the system is, the steps are the same as for any other orphaned system: read the hardware, file the factory warranties, and finish whatever paperwork the utility never received.
From court filings and trade press reports.
Who to ask about what
- Service the buyer agreed to
- Freedom Forever, in writing, for your address.
- Interconnection never finished
- Your utility, with a licensed solar contractor.
- Factory warranties
- The makers on the labels.
- Monitoring never handed over
- The monitoring platform, with proof that you own the system.
How a takeover goes
Step by step
- 1
Read the equipment
Panel labels, inverter serial, optimizer count, monitoring. We work from the roof, not from paperwork that no longer exists.
- 2
Written inspection
What is installed, what is failing, what is still under a factory warranty, and what the roof under the array looks like.
- 3
Claim what is covered
Manufacturers only take claims from a licensed contractor. We file them so parts come free where they should.
- 4
Fix and verify
Repair, restart, and prove production in writing before we leave. Then you have one number that answers.
FAQ
Meraki Solar customers ask us this
My solar company went out of business. Is my warranty gone?
Only part of it. The workmanship warranty belonged to the company that closed, so that one is usually gone. The factory warranties on the panels, the inverter and the optimizers belong to the manufacturers, and those are still good, normally 10 to 25 years. They just need a licensed solar contractor to file the claim, because manufacturers will not take one from a homeowner.
Can you take over a system another company installed?
Yes. That is most of what we do. Any brand, any original installer, in business or not. We inspect what is actually on the roof, tell you in writing what is wrong and what is still covered, and then quote the repair.
Do I have to replace the whole system?
Almost never. In most orphaned systems the panels are fine and the problem is one inverter, a handful of optimizers, a bad connector, or a mount that was never flashed. Anyone who opens with a full replacement quote before inspecting it is selling, not diagnosing.
What does it cost to find out what is wrong?
We quote the inspection up front and it is a flat number, not an hourly meter. You get a written report of what is installed, what is failing, what is still under a factory warranty and what the repair costs. The report is yours whether or not you hire us for the fix.
I still owe money on a system that does not work. What now?
The loan and the equipment are two separate things, and the loan does not go away because the installer did. Get the system producing again first, because that is the part you can actually control, then take the written inspection report to the lender or the finance company. A report from a licensed contractor is worth far more than a phone call.
Are you connected to any of these companies?
No. Art of Solar has never been part of, owned by, or a dealer for any of them. We are an independent licensed and insured Florida solar contractor that services other people's systems.
