SolarWorld Bankruptcy: What Now?
SolarWorld Germany is filing insolvency (European equivalent to bankruptcy). This has shaken their US subsidiary which has not yet clarified if it will follow suit or withstand the storm.
For customers who have recently bought SolarWorld modules the question remains: What to do now?
There are two distinctions needed in this answer:
1. Are the modules you own German made or US made?
This is specified on the PV module sticker. If you did not note this before installing the modules you can take an automechanics mirror and look without removing the module.

2. Which company is responsible for your warranty - now and in the future?
SolarWorld Germany had announced that they are seeking 3rd party warranty provider. No further comments have been made at this time.
SolarWorld US has sought a 3rd party warranty - despite not having filed bankruptcy yet. You can apply on their official website. This warranty will be valid for modules sold 2017 and beyond.
