A Waukesha County judge has approved the auction of all of Sun Badger Solar's assets. Sun Badger’s problems first came to light in February after dozens of customers signed contracts and paid thousands for solar panels they never received.

Judge Brad Schimel authorized an auction of what's left of Sun Badger's assets. According to Schimel and the receiver on this case, attorney John Wirth, there isn't much left. The I-Team learned all of the company's assets were recently moved to its Waukesha office after Wirth said the company's Minnesota landlord evicted them at that location and got rid of inventory.

"This isn't a giant auction. It may be $50-$200,000 worth of stuff. It is not going to solve the problems of this case," Wirth said. Wirth, who was appointed by the judge, said he had no prior relationship with Sun Badger or its employees.

"We're looking into what happened to the company and its business. There clearly were a lot of customers who paid deposits and didn't get what they were promised. There are unpaid employees," Wirth said. Wirth said his team reached out to more than 300 customers and company trade partners to join the case as creditors in an effort to get money back. In  addition, the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) is representing the state's Department of Workforce Development on behalf of employees who said they were never paid.
