The solar industry is facing difficulties as of now

Many bright people outside of senior leadership

This company’s bankruptcy isn’t surprising—it’s a slow-motion collapse that many of us internally predicted long ago. What’s frustrating is how preventable it was. The failure wasn’t due to external market conditions. It was baked into the DNA: delusional leadership, unethical practices, and a culture of pretense over performance. The leadership team—largely recycled from another failed finance company—brought the same reckless habits. Their loyalty to one another ran deeper than their loyalty to truth, data, or customers. Promotion was based on politics, not performance. Dissent was punished. Accountability was nonexistent. They marketed themselves as a mission-driven company “bringing solar to all,” but the mission was a smokescreen. Behind the scenes, it was a churn-and-burn sales model paired with an operations team left to clean up the mess—when they weren’t being gaslit or scapegoated. Their 3.9-star Google rating is an act of charity; customers were routinely misled, underserved, and left in the dark (sometimes literally). The fact they haven’t faced a wave of consumer fraud litigation is more luck than legitimacy. And then there’s the tech—or lack thereof. Internally, we joked that it bordered on vaporware. The platform was years behind modern fintech standards, patched together with duct tape and dashboards that never worked properly. Instead of investing in infrastructure or innovation, leadership focused on slide decks and branding exercises to impress investors. It was all surface. Nothing scalable. Nothing secure. Don’t be fooled by the mission or the marketing. This company was built on shaky ethics and shaky math. And went bankrupt for exactly those reasons. Let it be a warning.
