For Displaced Solar Dealers

Forever
ended.
Your pipeline
didn't have to.

Your install partner folded. Your customers are in limbo. Your commissions are frozen. SAVKAT Pro onboards displaced dealers in 14 days or less — with milestone pay, aggressive redlines, and a partnership platform that includes AI visibility, a dealer portal, and a full CRM at our top tier.

The Moment

You sold it.
They folded.
Now what?

"Forever, a once-thriving residential solar installer, joins a growing list of bankruptcies as distress in the US clean energy sector deepens."

If you sold for Freedom Forever — or any of the national rollups before them — you already know the story. Chapter 11 filings. Orphaned systems. Customers stuck without PTO. Roofing partners out hundreds of thousands. Commission checks frozen in a Delaware bankruptcy court.

The sales reps who built those pipelines didn't do anything wrong. They sold hard, closed deals, and delivered customers in good faith. Then the installer they trusted disappeared — and took the reputation, the calendar, and the paychecks with it.

// The record, for reference
  • Jun 2024SunPower files Chapter 11. Liquidation follows.
  • Jun 2025Sunnova files Chapter 11. Dealers orphaned.
  • Apr 2026Freedom Forever files Chapter 11. $500M–$1B in liabilities.
The Difference

Solar is a trade.
Not a rollup.

SAVKAT is family-owned, founded in 2017, and operates exclusively across greater New England. We're not trying to be the biggest — we're trying to be the one still answering the phone when your customer calls in 2040.

// The Rollup Model

What just collapsed

  • VC-fueled expansion into 30+ states chasing easy money
  • Third-party ownership (TPO) exposure at scale
  • Dealer fees used to plug operating losses
  • Vendors and contractors unpaid for months before filing
  • 3,000+ employees. 10 state markets abandoned before Ch. 11.
  • State AG crackdowns on sales practices
// The SAVKAT Model

What's still standing

  • Family-owned · single-region · every install in our own footprint
  • Cash, Loan, Lease & PPA options — you choose what closes
  • 0%–15% dealer fee options. Actual negotiation, not a take-it-or-leave-it.
  • Milestone pay. On time. Every time.
  • In-house design, PM, service, electricians, installers
  • Elite Dealer recognition · 4.9★ Google rated EPC
The Foundation

The tools to keep closing.
The backbone to keep installing.

Every SAVKAT Pro dealer partnership is built on these six core capabilities — then tiered up with infrastructure that helps you grow.

01 / REDLINES

Region's most aggressive redlines

We lead greater New England on pricing. Your proposals win more deals because the math works harder at the top of the funnel.

02 / FEES

0%–15% dealer fee options

Flexible fee structure tailored to your volume and product mix. Not a flat tax on every deal.

03 / MILESTONES

Paid on time. Every time.

Clear milestone-based payment schedule with a stable, in-region installer. No more 90-day AR conversations.

04 / FINANCING

Loan, Lease & PPA available

Multiple lenders with personalized support. Close with whichever product fits your customer — not whichever pays the installer best.

05 / SPEED

Proprietary closing tools

State-of-the-art solar design software, financing integrations, and streamlined operations. Our dealers close more deals, faster.

06 / WARRANTY

25-year comprehensive warranty

Tier 1 panels — Pegasus, Enphase, Maxeon, QCells, SolarEdge, FranklinWH. Warehoused locally. Backed by an installer still in business.

Partnership Tiers

Three ways to partner.
One installer that stays.

Every tier includes the full install, financing, and milestone-payment backbone above. Higher tiers layer in the digital infrastructure most dealers never get from a rollup — AI visibility monitoring, a real-time dealer portal, and (at the top) a full CRM built for your team.

Onboarding

From displaced
to submitting deals
in 14 days.

We designed this timeline specifically for reps moving out of a failed or failing installer. No bureaucratic drag. No month-long "partner evaluation." You sell. We install. Everyone eats.

Days 1–3

Discovery & Agreement

20-minute discovery call. Volume review. Tier selection. Dealer agreement executed. Redlines locked for your market.

Days 4–7

Platform & Training

Credentials for design software and financing partners. Product training. Dealer portal access (Pro/Elite). Compliance walkthrough.

Days 8–14

First Deal Submitted

Your first proposals go out under the new structure. In-flight pipeline transferred, assessed, and rescheduled.

Day 30

First Install. First Check.

First installations completed on regional crews. First milestone payment released. You're back in motion.

Straight Answers

The questions you're
actually asking.

Usually, yes. Deals not yet contracted under the prior installer can typically move cleanly. Signed contracts with orphaned systems require a case-by-case review — we've helped reps recover customers stuck in "installed but not turned on" limbo before. Bring the pipeline to your discovery call and we'll walk through each deal with you.
Partner is the baseline dealer program — design software, milestone pay, financing, installs. Partner Pro adds AI Visibility reporting, the SAVKAT Pro dealer portal (real-time pipeline and commission tracking), and co-branded marketing assets. Partner Elite adds a fully configured CRM for your team, full digital presence management (AI visibility, SEO, local listings), a dedicated partnerships lead, and territory considerations. Every tier includes the same core install quality and warranty.
You keep your brand. That's the SAVKAT Pro model. We stay behind the curtain — you keep your sales org identity, your marketing, your customer relationships. We operate as your EPC partner. You concentrate on selling; we handle the customer like they're our own.
Not necessarily. Our dealer program is built around teams selling 100+ kW per month, and Pro is designed for 300+. If you're a Freedom Forever refugee with an active pipeline, bring the numbers to the call — we have priority slots specifically for displaced dealers, and the volume math we care about is what's in your in-flight book, not just last month's number.
SAVKAT installs across greater New England. If your customer base sits inside that footprint, we can install. If part of your book is outside the region, we'll be upfront — we'd rather refer you to a trusted regional installer than pretend we can cover it and fail you. That's the behavior that got the national rollups into Chapter 11.
Fair question to ask any installer in 2026. SAVKAT is family-owned, profitable, and regionally focused — the opposite of the VC-scaled multistate model that's been collapsing. We're not carrying venture debt, we're not propped up by TPO margin, and we're not chasing new state markets. We grow from where we stand.
A SAVKAT Pro partnerships lead. 20 minutes, calendar link sent after you submit the form. No pitch deck, no hard sell — we'll ask about your current situation, your volume, your product mix, and walk you through the tier structure. If it's a fit, we move to agreement. If it's not, we'll tell you honestly.
