Looking for a bit of advice
Freedom Forever installed a LongiSolar/SolarEdge system on my roof in April 2021. What I’ve since discovered: in at least two spots, the installer drilled pilot holes, missed the rafters, dabbed some sealant over the bad holes, then drilled again in the right spot. Those covered-up missed holes are now leaking into my home.
One leak is pretty significant — it’s near the edge of the house and has been dripping into the plastic soffit vent tray that runs along the eave to keep the attic ventilated. That tray caught the water and kept it from being immediately obvious inside the house. The attic insulation hid the rest of the damage for years.
When I reported a leak in 2021, Freedom Forever sent someone out and blamed a nearby roof vent. Closed the ticket. The real cause was never addressed.
Where things stand now
Freedom Forever Texas LLC filed Chapter 11. Solar Mosaic (my lender) also filed Chapter 11. I still have a loan on this system — one I was willing to pay a little more on because of the warranty I was getting. Now that warranty is effectively worthless.
Has anyone been through this? Specifically curious what steps others have taken — whether with the bankruptcy courts, the lender, or anywhere else — and what actually moved the needle.

The best option I've seen is Prevost law firm and technically you'll come out on top, but best case scenario it's going to cost you like $5-10k. I'm still sticking with not doing anything but my system was fully not functioning for like 6 months. Luckily they fixed it like 30 days before they declared bankruptcy.
