Titan Solar Nevada Shut Down — Your Contract Options in 2026

Titan Solar's Nevada licence was revoked and the company is gone, but your loan is still being collected. Here is what that means and what to check next. Free...

Company Help

Titan Solar pulled 2,524 Las Vegas permits, was fined $400,000 across 70 counts, and had its licence revoked in July 2024. There is no successor company. That leaves Nevada homeowners holding a void workmanship warranty and a loan that is still very much alive.

Titan Solar Power was one of the largest residential solar installers in the country, and Las Vegas was one of its biggest markets. Then it stopped. The company ceased operations on 13 June 2024, and about a month later the Nevada State Contractors Board revoked its licence after a hearing the company did not bother to attend.

What that left behind is a specific and uncomfortable situation: thousands of Nevada homeowners with solar systems on their roofs, no installer to call, a workmanship warranty that no longer has anyone behind it, and a financing payment that still comes out every month.

This page is an explainer, not legal advice. Whether any particular contract can be cancelled or renegotiated is a fact-specific legal question. What follows is what the public record actually shows, so you can ask better questions.

What the public record shows about Titan Solar in Nevada

• Roughly 2,524 Las Vegas residential solar permits were pulled under the Titan name.
• The Nevada State Contractors Board found the company guilty on 70 counts involving 29 homeowners.
• The Board imposed a $400,000 fine at a July 2024 hearing.
• The administrative law judge wrote that Titan "caused significant harm, and constitutes a serious threat to the public's health, safety, and welfare."
• The licence was suspended on 18 June 2024 and revoked on 17 July 2024.
• The company had already ceased operations on 13 June 2024.

Titan was not alone. Nevada has revoked or disciplined multiple solar licences in the same period, and the Contractors Board receives about 3,000 complaints a year, of which it has said nearly one-third concern solar companies. Across the state, roughly 14,435 homes hold a permit from an installer that later failed.

Why the warranty problem is the expensive one

Most solar contracts separate two kinds of warranty. The manufacturer warranty covers the equipment — the panels and the inverter — and usually survives, because the manufacturer is a different company that is still trading. The workmanship warranty covers the installation itself: the roof penetrations, the flashing, the wiring, the mounting. That warranty was Titan's, and Titan is gone.

The practical consequence shows up years later. A roof leak above a penetration, a failing connection, an inverter that was never commissioned properly — these are workmanship problems. With no installer to call, the homeowner generally pays a new licensed contractor to fix them, and there is often a fight about whether the damage is covered by anything at all.

The loan is a separate agreement — and that matters

The single most common misunderstanding is that a bankrupt installer takes the debt with it. Usually it does not. A solar loan is an agreement between you and a lender. A lease or power purchase agreement is an agreement between you and a lessor or system owner. Those entities are typically still operating, and they are still entitled to collect under the contract you signed.

That does not mean nothing can be examined. It means the useful questions change. Instead of asking whether Titan still exists, the better questions are: who actually holds my agreement now, what was that lender told about the installer, was the installer properly licensed for this job at the time I signed, and did the documents I was given accurately describe what I was buying.

Nevada has a licence rule that is unusually powerful

Nevada law makes the installer's licence status a central fact rather than a technicality. Under NRS 598.982148 and NRS 598.982143, a power purchase agreement is voidable for three years if the installer was unlicensed or was acting outside the monetary limit of its licence at the time of signing. Separately, the financier is required to verify that the installer holds a valid licence and is within that limit, and a failure to do so makes the loan, lease or PPA voidable for three years.

The reason this matters here is that it does not require you to prove anyone lied to you. It turns on a documented fact — the licence status and monetary limit on the date you signed — which is checkable in the Nevada State Contractors Board's public licence search. Nevada also makes a knowing failure to comply with its distributed-generation disclosure rules render the agreement voidable under NRS 598.9822.

There is also NRS 624.875, which makes a residential photovoltaic contract that does not contain the required terms voidable by the owner. The required contents include the contractor's licence number and the monetary limit on that licence. If your contract does not show both, that is a specific thing to raise.

What to do first, in order

• Find out who currently holds your agreement. Look at your most recent statement or payment portal. The name on it is the party you are actually dealing with, and it may not be the name on your original contract.
• Pull your contract and find two things: the contractor licence number and the monetary limit printed on the licence. If either is missing, note that.
• Look up that licence number in the Nevada State Contractors Board public search and check its status and limit on your signing date, not today.
• Photograph and date any roof leak, cracked panel, non-working inverter or monitoring outage. Workmanship problems are much easier to argue about when documented close to when they appeared.
• Check your permit record with your local building department. It tells you who pulled the permit, which is not always the company that sold you the system.
• Check whether a Notice of Cancellation form was ever provided and what deadline it stated.

Do not stop making payments based on general advice. Missing payments can create default, collection and credit consequences, and a dispute does not automatically pause the obligation. Review your documents and get qualified advice before withholding anything.

Where complaints actually go in Nevada

Nevada's complaint routing is genuinely confusing, and the agencies point at each other. The Attorney General's consumer FAQ directs solar complaints to the Public Utilities Commission. The Commission describes its role as facilitating complaints and routing them onward to the Contractors Board, the Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection, the Consumer Fraud Division of Business and Industry, and the Better Business Bureau. The Contractors Board operates its own Solar Investigations Unit and maintains a public Solar Watch List of companies it is tracking.

The Attorney General's own guidance adds a note almost nobody repeats: it recommends that purchasers of a solar system act quickly to void their contract. That is not a guarantee, but it is a signal about how these matters are treated when they are raised early rather than late.

If a monetary loss is involved, the Contractors Board's Residential Recovery Fund can pay up to $40,000 per claim. It has real limits: attorney's fees are excluded, the committee meets roughly every 60 days, payment comes about 45 days after an order is final, and the decision is final and not subject to judicial review. Treat it as one route, not the route.

The honest summary

Titan Solar's collapse did not erase your financing obligation, and it did not automatically void your agreement. What it did do is remove the party that was supposed to stand behind the installation, and it created a documented public record — 70 counts, 29 homeowners, a $400,000 fine, a revoked licence — that is relevant if you need to argue about what you were sold.

The most useful thing you can do is establish, in writing, who holds your agreement now and whether the installer was properly licensed and within its limit when you signed. Those are checkable facts, and they are the facts that Nevada law treats as decisive.
