A Sunnova lease or PPA isn't a loan you pay off — it's a long contract with escalating payments. Getting out is different, and harder. Here's how to start.

Sunnova has faced major financial distress and federal scrutiny over its dealer network's sales practices. If you have a Sunnova lease or power-purchase agreement (PPA), getting out works differently than a loan — because you never owned the system in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel a Sunnova lease or PPA?

Outright cancellation is hard because it's a long-term contract for a system you don't own. Your realistic paths are a buyout, transferring it to a buyer at sale, or challenging the agreement if it was sold deceptively or never performed. An attorney can assess which fits.

Does a Sunnova lease hurt my home sale?

It can. Buyers typically must qualify to assume the lease or PPA, and some lenders balk — which can delay or derail a sale. Get the agreement reviewed before you list.
