Sunnova Energy has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S., marking a major setback for the residential solar industry. The Houston-based solar panel installer is struggling under $10.67 billion in debt, coupled with declining demand, higher interest rates, and shrinking subsidies, particularly in California.
The filing was made in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, with the company citing assets and liabilities in the range of $10 billion to $50 billion. This comes after a March warning that Sunnova may not remain a going concern. The firm plans to continue operations during the restructuring process.
Sunnova has reached asset sale agreements with Atlas SP Partners and Lennar Homes valued at $15 million and $16 million, respectively, pending court approval. Earlier this month, its unit Sunnova TEP Developer also filed for bankruptcy protection.
This makes Sunnova the second residential solar company to file for bankruptcy this month, following Solar Mosaic. The industry has been facing significant headwinds, including policy uncertainty. Last month, the Biden administration’s $2.92 billion loan guarantee to Sunnova was canceled by the Trump administration, dealing a severe blow to its financial outlook.
Compounding the issue, Sunnova announced it will lay off 55% of its workforce—around 718 employees—as part of cost-cutting efforts. Analysts warn that the situation could worsen further. A Republican-backed tax bill in Congress proposes cutting the federal tax credit for residential solar, which has been vital to the industry's growth. If passed, the policy shift could take effect in 2026 and deliver another hit to already struggling solar firms.
The ongoing financial and regulatory uncertainty is reshaping the residential solar landscape, putting smaller and debt-laden companies at serious risk.
