What Happened to Sunnova?

Sunnova Energy International, once one of the largest residential solar companies in the US, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2024. The company cited rising interest rates, high debt loads from aggressive expansion, and a slowdown in new solar installations.

Sunnova's assets — including customer contracts — were sold through the bankruptcy process to third-party buyers. This means your contract may now be held by a company you never agreed to do business with.

File a Proof of Claim
If Sunnova owes you money (refunds, damages, etc.), you can file a proof of claim with the bankruptcy court.

Consult a Solar Contract Attorney
An attorney specializing in solar contracts can review your specific situation and advise on your best options.

Contact Your State Attorney General
Many states have consumer protection divisions that handle solar company complaints.
