PosiGen Halts Most U.S. Operations, Starts Permanent Layoffs

The installer says a lender cash freeze after a missed interest payment abruptly choked off operations.

Overview

  • PosiGen began terminating 78 employees in Wethersfield, Danbury and Shelton, with the Connecticut sites remaining open for now.
  • Facilities in Plymouth Meeting and Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, are closing with permanent layoffs.
  • In WARN filings, the company reported it missed an interest payment, after which its lender froze cash and declared a default, disrupting business.
  • The company is seeking capital from its lender or a buyer and says it will shut down entirely if financing does not come through.
  • PosiGen linked its funding strain to the repeal of the 30% homeowner clean‑energy tax credit under President Trump’s July 4 law, set against a residential solar slump that saw 2024 installations fall 31% and several bankruptcies.
