Brett Bouchy Net Worth 2026: Freedom Forever CEO

No reputable outlet has published a net worth estimate for Brett Bouchy. The $121.3 million figure on some profile sites has no source, and it predates the 2026 collapse of the company he ran. Bouchy was CEO of Freedom Forever, a residential solar installer that ranked as the second-largest in the United States in 2025. The company filed for bankruptcy in April 2026 and moved into Chapter 7 liquidation in August 2026.

What is Brett Bouchy's net worth?

Freedom Forever was privately held, and Bouchy's ownership share has never been published. In 2018, he told Chief Executive magazine that he had bought part of the company in 2015. Beyond that, the size of his stake, any money he took out of the business during its growth years, and his other investments are unknown.

What is known is that the value of his main business has been wiped out. In its bankruptcy filings, Freedom Forever reported liabilities of $500 million to $1 billion against assets of $100 million to $500 million. The filings indicated that unsecured creditors were unlikely to recover anything. Equity holders, including owners like Bouchy, generally rank behind all creditors in a liquidation. Any figure that treats Freedom Forever as a valuable holding is out of date. We have removed the old $121.3 million number.

Brett Bouchy's yearly earnings, income and salary

His salary as CEO was never disclosed. The yearly income of $5 million, monthly income of $458,000 and daily income of $15,000 listed here before had no source, and we have deleted them. The earlier claims that he donated "millions of dollars" to charity and owns a sports memorabilia collection also had no source and have been removed.

Early life and family

Little about Bouchy's early life has been reported by reliable sources. The earlier version of this page described a childhood spent listening to entrepreneur parents at the kitchen table, but no source supports it, so it has been removed. In interviews, Bouchy has described himself as an investor and private equity executive for most of his career.

Brett Bouchy's wife

Earlier versions of this page named a wife. We could not confirm that name in any reliable source, so we have removed it. We do not publish unverified details about private family members.

Education

The previous page said he attended Dobson High School and then a university with "good academic results." We found no reliable source for his schooling and have not repeated those claims.

Professional life

Arena football

Before solar, Bouchy spent years in the Arena Football League. He was managing partner of the Orlando Predators. In July 2013, he sold his shares and stepped down, ending a 17-year business relationship with the franchise. News 6 in Orlando reported that he ran the team's promotions, including a ticket discount guarantee tied to the team's record, and made personnel decisions, including hiring and firing coaches. He later cited that sports experience when describing how he ran Freedom Forever.

Freedom Forever

Freedom Forever was founded in California in 2011, and Bouchy bought into it in 2015. The company, based in Temecula, California, installed rooftop solar systems and relied mainly on independent sales dealers. It was known for a 25-year production guarantee. Bouchy told Chief Executive in 2018 that revenue was on track to double from about $55 million in 2017 to $110 million, and that the company used more than 700 standard operating procedures.

• 2024: Freedom Forever bought assets from Meraki Solar. Bouchy said on an investor webinar that he expected 40% growth that year, even as the wider residential solar market shrank by about 20%.
• 2024: the Business Intelligence Group's BIG Awards named Bouchy Executive of the Year and the company Company of the Year. The company credited its in-house software platform, LIGHTSPEED, and said it had made the Inc. 5000 list seven years in a row.
• 2025: Wood Mackenzie ranked it the second-largest U.S. residential installer, with a 6.1% market share behind Sunrun. PV Tech reported that its share fell to 3.9% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Recent news: the 2026 bankruptcy

Freedom Forever filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on April 15, 2026. According to Latitude Media, about 1,600 employees were laid off that morning. The company's largest unsecured creditor, solar lender Mosaic, was owed more than $100 million. The filing came shortly after the Texas attorney general announced an investigation into sales practices at several residential solar companies, including Freedom Forever. It also followed the end of the federal residential solar tax credit at the close of 2025.

The company tried to sell its assets or find a sponsor for a reorganization. Bloomberg Law reported that the case moved to liquidation after an insider sale effort collapsed. The case was converted to Chapter 7 on August 7, 2026, and a trustee was appointed to wind down the remaining assets. pv magazine USA reported that former employees have filed two class actions alleging the layoffs violated federal WARN Act notice rules. Financing partners including Sunrun and GoodLeap were allowed to step in and finish stranded customer installations. These are allegations in pending cases, and no ruling on them had been reported as of September 2026.

Age, height and weight

His date of birth, height and weight have not been published by a reliable source. The earlier claims (54 years old, 5 ft 4 in, 72 kg) had no source and have been removed.
