Sunnova Energy International Files for Bankruptcy Protection, Plans to Sell Assets
- On Sunday, June 1, 2025, Sunnova Energy International initiated a Chapter 11 reorganization process in Texas courts as the company faced significant financial challenges.
- The bankruptcy followed unsuccessful efforts to secure new financing earlier in 2025 and a 50% workforce layoff announced in late May due to tightening liquidity.

- CEO Paul Mathews announced on Monday that the company is opening a 45-day period to receive offers for its assets, while striving to keep services running smoothly, and expressed gratitude to employees for their dedication.
- Sunnova plans to sell substantially all assets and wind down operations after the sale, reflecting broader struggles within the residential solar industry.
