Since 2012, Sunnova has been providing solar power and energy storage to residents and business owners across the country. The company offers a solar industry-leading 25-year service commitment on all solar panel installations, with an additional 10-year roof warranty. Meanwhile, the Sunnova Adaptive Home solution integrates smart technology into the solar installation by optimizing energy sources for the unique energy needs of the homeowner. The solar service provider offers a number of financing options, but conditions do apply.

Wide State Availability

Flexible Payment Options

Sunnova offers a number of payment options to help customers lower their dependence on the power grid:

The company's EZ Own option gives homeowners the opportunity to purchase a system without any upfront costs and pay a fixed amount each month for a 25-year term, which is substantially less than the average electric bill. At the end of the term, the customer will own the solar power system.

Sunnova's EZ Pay PPA is another diverse financing option that only requires customers to pay for the energy produced by the system at a flat monthly price. There is also a standard lease option available, during which the customer will essentially be renting the panels from Sunnova.

Helpful Moving Options

If a customer within Sunnova's residential solar market decides to move while under contract, Sunnova offers a number of options: the customer can transfer the service agreement over to the new owner, pre-pay the remainder of the contract and transfer it to the new owner, or move the system to a new address. This is especially beneficial for homeowners who are less permanent.

Wide State Availability

Not only does Sunnova install quality panels, but the solar company also provides backup battery storage in the event of a power outage in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Texas.

The company's renewable energy services are also available in the Virgin Islands, which means many consumers have the option to go solar with Sunnova.

The Bad

Long Contract Terms
No Buyout Option for Leases

Long Contract Terms

Sunnova requires a 25-year service agreement, which is higher than the average 20-year agreement employed by most other solar energy companies. While this can still lead toward a path to ownership, longer-termed solar loans are often accompanied by relatively higher interest rates. Customers should get in touch with a Sunnova employee for specific terms and conditions prior to signing a contract.

Additionally, Sunnova does not offer a production guarantee for the PPA option, which can be detrimental if the system isn't producing as much as it should be during the length of the contract.

No Buyout Option For Leases

The company's lease options do not include a buyout option for the Sunnova customer, which creates a disadvantage for those who may need to move while under contract.

The Bottom Line

Sunnova has a simple mission: provide competitive solar solutions across several states and offers a variety of financing options, including cash purchase, a solar lease and PPA. The solar company also provides moving options to help customers establish energy independence.

However, the company's contract terms are longer than industry average. Additionally, Sunnova does not offer a buyout option for leases. If you're still unsure whether this company is right for you, read below for verified Sunnova Solar reviews.

Debra Schnellbacher Philadelphia, PA

They are very nice and very fast with installing the Solar Panels on your house but they will not put the critter cage around the panels. They wanted to charge us $1,000 to install the critter cage so we did not pay as the equipment is all theirs and not our responsibility. Well, of coarse squirrels ate wires so they came and installed the critter cage (for free). Our systems has stopped working on and off (currently off for 6 months now). Their service SUCKS. The people who come to your house are very nice but they've scheduled 4 service appointments in which we have to confirm. Each time I stay home. Each time they have not shown up and have not even given me the consideration of a phone call. Today they are scheduled for the entire day. It's 7:47 am .. supposed to be here at 7 am. Nobody around to answer the phone. I will probably be stood up yet again. When the system is working .. it is great! I'd like to get back to before the squirrels when the system worked beautifully. BTW I get more money when they work the credit does not make me whole!

They were very good in delivering the product but didn't quite understand that I may have an electricity bill still. Luckily now we do see the credit but did not like paying $98.12 plus Green Mountain bill..that may continue until summer time when AC is used but at least we will see the credit applied.

Conrad Kaiser Rosamond, CA

I had a house fire in April 2020 and the home was condemed by the county. The solar panels had to be removed because of the roof being damaged. Every month I received a bill for kwh I have been using, although no panels are on the structure. In addition each month the bill was different. Thirty days after the panels had been removed the company sent an individual to check the system. The person they sent was the same individual who took the system down and took the panels away. He could not understand why they sent him to check a system that was not on the property. Each month the company tried taking money out of my checking account to pay for the kwh I was using on a system that had been removed. I had to cancel my checking account in order to stop the money being taken. The company also changed the kwh rate from 0.19 to $ 0.215. I must have talked to ten different people from the company. This company has to be the worst customer service company I have ever delt with. I also was told the panels had been damaged, and I would be repaid the money taken out of my bank. I was asked to have my insurance company send them notification when the home would be repaired [ This was sent once prior and I sent them another copy] the home should be repaired by the end of June. The bill for last month is for $796.63 The stress this company has put me through while I'm trying to rebuild has not helped. I'm 79 years old a DAV and I don't need this type of customer service, if I could get out of the contract I would.

I wish I would have RUN when they came to my door. It has been the worst mistake of my life. This system is constantly UNDER PRODUCING!!! I pay more to the electric company then before. Trying to get a straight answer from them is a true joke. It's like a hand- off from one " expert " to another. I can count on one hand how many times they've been out here to check on the system. I have constantly paid my electric company at least 2500 to 3000 end of year settlement . In addition to the 130 I pay to Sunova a month. I've called and emailed to no avail. They can't even get my husband's name off the lease as he passed away over a year ago. Terrible Terrible Service!!!! Take your business elsewhere. If I could give them a minus star....it'd be a 10!!!

Squirells have made a nest and hole underneath solar panel and are now running through the attic. Can't get the roof fixed and nest removed until panels are removed. Sunnova has forbidden me to have my contractor remove them and make proper repairs to my roof. Customer service is requesting that I pay them to install a critter guard as well as incurring costs for temporary removal. Still waiting for Sunnova to get back to me with removal quotes after two weeks.

To prove the point of their horrible customer service, I received a call the day following my bad review. From a man telling me that someone else would reach out to me and discuss my issues. That didn't happen. Now, 3 weeks later, I get a poorly written email with no name attached saying that they aren't going to do anything. My electric company still says there is an issue. My electric bills are still more than double what they were last year. There has been no resolution or attempted resolution. Do not contract with this company.

I have to say, anyone who is thinking about this company, DO NOT, WALK AWAY!! I have had the solar panels on my home for 4 years now. I already have had issues with the production and the system has continually underproduced. Since I lease the panels, they are responsible for any repair to system and also to roof. That has only happened once! Another problem is that critter guards were improperly installed and have for the second time, roof damage due to squirrels. After numerous calls, there is still no resolution. Summing it up, the production that is outlined by their reps has not even been close to the truth AND there is roof damage. The ONLY way to contact the company is through their customer service and that is usually as far as you get. They only state they will escalate the issue. It is a full time job to constantly call to try and get any results. Word of advice, make sure you track your monthly production against what they guarantee!! They will make sure your payments are right on time but their turn-around for service is non-existent. I thought I was doing a good thing by getting solar, not so much!!

Avoid at all costs!!! I luckily found out what a crappy company Sunnova is before I had my system installed. They have the worst customer service, I hope they don't try and steal any money out of my account! I called to remove my payment method off of their webpage and spoke to "Walter L" who informed me that they cannot remove my payment method even though it states to call customer service to remove that info. All that Walter could do is send a request to remove my payment information. What a scam! I've called my bank and had them block any payments from coming out of my account.

Sunnova is quickly making me regret going solar. Been having production issues with my system that’s only 4 months old. Service technicians were scheduled to come last Tuesday between 4pm and 7pm and called me to cancel at the last minute. They told me it was being rescheduled for Friday between 10am and 1pm instead. I called them back to tell them that this appointment was no good for me and if they can come on Tuesday the following week instead. They said ok and that I was going to get an email confirmation with the new day and time. Later on that day I get an email to confirm appointment for the Friday which was the day I told them was no good for me. I called them again to cancel that appointment and make it for the following week instead. I also responded to the email saying that Friday was no good for me and to move appointment to Tuesday instead. Well Friday morning while at work I get a call from the service technician saying he’s outside my house and nobody’s answering the door. I told him he’s not supposed be there until Tuesday. When I called them to get answers on how this could happen and nobody could answer. It’s like talking to robots when you try to get answers with this company. A week later and they are still giving me the run a round and I haven’t gotten an appointment yet. I have seen a lot of terrible companies in my time but this one certainly takes the cake. Do yourself a favor and stay far far away

Bruce DeSilva Cassville, NJ

If you are thinking of signing up with Sunnova Energy Corp. for solar panels, THINK AGAIN! It’s one of the worst firms I have dealt with in my entire life—and I’m 74 years old. Sunnova owns the solar panels that were installed on the roof of my home in Howell several years ago. Now, unless I sign a contract that is absurd on its face and impossible to comply with, the company will not permit the temporary removal of the panels so that the old roof can be replaced. I have worked to resolve this matter for three months to no avail. Since the contract in question appears to be boilerplate given to Sunnova customers in similar circumstances in NJ and around the country, the potential for widespread abuse is apparent. The issue in short: The proposed contract, signed by a company lawyer and dated Nov. 23, requires that the panels be reinstalled within 60 days of the signing. However, Trinity, the company that handles installations for Sunnova, told me that they are overextended and probably couldn’t even REMOVE them within 60 days The contract also would have made me responsible for other delays completely beyond my control. For example, we are in the dead of winter. What if bad weather made it too dangerous for the roofers to work for weeks? As it turned out, this was not hypothetical. My roof was covered with snow and ice from Jan. 30 to Feb. 23. The contract also would have made me responsible for any additional delays caused by Trinity’s work schedule. If they couldn’t remove the panels within 60 days, who’s to say how quickly they could reinstall them once the roof work was completed? And yet, the contract stated that if I failed to comply with its terms, I could be required to pay the company the solar system’s full value, which the letter put at $16,380.

I have been calling since January 27 to have them complete the transfer ever week and yet nothing has been done. All agents keep saying that they have escalated the case and yet everytime I call they will act as if one document has been missing or buyers of my house did not call and have not made an account. I am out of my house and still I have been paying for services. I am so mad right now. I feel that I will be forever paying for services that I am not using.

My system is underproducing. Sunnova agrees. Electric Co, Eversource agrees. I am told by trinity who installed the system that panels cannot be added and that I would have to buy or lease a 2nd system to add to the existing electric output. When i contracted in 2018I questioned the small size of the system. the sales man distinctly said if it is not an adequate system for my needs they can just add more panels. Now I am told that is not possible. I pay the electric co. about $40 per month, have no net meter credit and pay Sunnova $52 / month and that goes up each year. The salesman misrepresented my savings. This is costing me alot with no benefit to me. I just want tr add panels to the existing system so it generates enough electricity that I get a net metering credit. Not happy

Sunnova expects your payment every month but when service is needed they are the worst. THEY decide if you need service even though the system is not working. It took 5 MONTHS to get a service call last year. This year (2021) I'M WAITING 2.5 MONTHS already. Meanwhile I'm paying my provider PLUS Sunnova. I got solar to save money not cost me more. They say every year on your anniversary date they re -evaluate your usage and lower payments if their projected usage wasn't met. More than a month now still no re-evaluation to get back the $800+ I spent on JCP&L because solar didn't work for 5 months, ( but I still had to pay Sunnova) Sunnova is totally unreliable. Their service is pathetic. I can not give them a rating. Not even one star. Unfortunately 1 star automatically appoints itself.

Sunnova is the absolute worst... I’ve had issues with them from day one. My equipment stopped working for nine months before it was fixed. They’re also supposed to do an energy audit after 3 years, which they did... and credit you for underperformance. Well, they did the audit and said I am entitled to a credit of around $1,500, which would be applied against future payments. When I asked for documentation for said credit, they told me that they couldn’t provide anything, and when I got my next bill, guess what didn’t appear? My credit. This company is absolutely horrible. Not only will I not recommend them, I will actively tell people to avoid them at all costs.

There is not too much I like about sunova. The several times I dealt with their customer service I realize I was actually talking to lawyers who are trying to limit my rights as a customer. Not once but twice they took more money out of my wife's account than they were supposed to. It was something that was never authorised but they did it anyway. It took us over a week to get them to give the money back and then a month later they did it again. They undersized my solar panel so now my bill is another $600 a year on top of paying them a $100 a month and the electric company. I would not recommend these people to anybody. They are not the solar installers they are the money people. The installation was done by somebody else. Again I would not deal with them, I'm 58 years old and I have never dealt with a company this blatantly Horrible!

We did not receive any significant discount from our electric bill, and only accumulated a new bill for having the solar panels. My electric bill would be maybe $50 off from the energy produced (From PSEG), and then I'd get a $200 bill for the production level (from Sunnova). I called PSEG & Sunnova constantly telling them something had to be wrong. I have a south-facing home, and we are a usual house hold. Customer Service is NOT helpful at all, they would not help to investigate if there was an issue, they would not help me with communicating with PSEG, and it sounds like customer service it outsourced to the Philippines. No one talks to you like a person, they only read scripts to you, and are infuriatingly unhelpful. I eventually stopped using solar with PSEG because it was costing so much money ($500-$900 a month) and I switched to wind energy for a flat rate of $129 a month. I tried talking to Sunnova about working something out to either get out of my contract, or paying off the panels since I wasn’t benefiting from the production, but they will not help at all. They just say "you signed a contract for 25 years" - So I am generating energy for the grid, for other people to use, and I have to pay around $100 a month for that privilege.

This company is a joke AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS. Their customer service is awful to deal with and they can't keep their stories straight. I have a roof leak where the wires penetrate my roof due to the sealant (probably putty) failing. On the website it states "25 year component, 10 year roof warranty". After multiple calls with them they are sticking to it only being a 1 year warranty on the roof. So now I have a roof leak that I can't even repair due to it being under the panels. If you are considering solar find another company that will value you as a customer. Its looking like the next step will be getting a lawyer involved.

As of this day 12/2/2020 I haven't seen the saving yet. I'm now paying the solar bill plus another high bill with Duke energy. I either didn't get enough panels or my Duke usage was misquoted. Not happy with the transition. I talked to the sales person two months ago. She's been calling/emaling and or leaving mess. to whoever is in charge but as of now nothing has been done. I regret doing the change. Not recommending the co. to anyone until the problem gets fixed.

Solar panels seem to be working well. However, app is horrible and does not show the true numbers based on what I see on meter and duke bill. App states I'm using double the energy I truly am.

I reported a leak on my roof since October 14, 2020. It’s now Nov 28, 2020 and I have yet to get my roof checked. I only got a case number and work order assigned. I’m still getting the runaround. Their customer service is horrible. Definitely read the contract or else you’re stuck with a 25 year lease with horrible service and only arbitration, as a customer I have no other choice but get screwed in the process. Not worth it!!!
