Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The deadline is the earlier of 20 years from your original purchase OR December 31, 2029 — for older installations, your personal deadline could be much sooner than 2029
- If you bought a home with these panels already installed, you are still covered — you do not have to be the original purchaser
- Use only the official site (sanyosolarclaims.com) and the toll-free hotline (1-844-702-2787) — look-alike scam claim sites do appear for solar settlements
- The settlement covers only delamination meeting specified visual criteria — not all panel performance issues qualify
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

Where to act

You'll need the Claim ID from your notice
The official claim form asks for the Claim ID (or Notice ID) the settlement mailed or emailed to the people it identified. Didn't get one? Here's how to get it:
- Check your email (including spam) and any mail from around when the settlement was announced — the Claim ID is usually printed right on the notice.
- Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (Kroll Settlement Administration LLC and Class Litigation Administration Support Services), tell them you believe you're a class member (for example, a customer or patient in the covered period), and ask them to look you up and send your Claim ID.
