Who to sue?
Solaris Assets, LLC owns the Sunnova contracts and should be sued!
Excellent Sunnova - SunStrong bankruptcy summary, but sadly, nothing about the massive fraud and the many investigations.
[Still have to research SunPower, apparently different company, same servicer SunStrong]
“Who bought Sunnova's assets?
Solaris Assets, LLC—formed by the Ad Hoc Group of DIP financing lenders and affiliates controlled by GoodFinch Management—acquired substantially all of Sunnova's assets for approximately $118 million. The transaction included a credit bid of the DIP financing, $25 million in cash consideration, and payment of certain cure costs. Solaris retained SunStrong Management, LLC to operate the acquired portfolio.”
So GoodFinch “controls”, and Solaris Assets OWNS the contracts and should be sued, NOT SunStrong?
Who are the PEOPLE who profit from this FRAUD?
They should be exposed. Shunned.
I asked Gemini for more info and I believe that it is WRONG about the pre bankruptcy claims because there was $$$ set aside for “curing” defects.
Additionally, I disagree with production guarantees being voided by the bankruptcy. Nobody EVER told me that.
It also failed to mention that customers only get about 2% of their claims in bankruptcy court — at most.
Gemini is just repeating CLAIMS — garbage in, garbage out.
I will be submitting my motion for clarification to the bk judge and of course, call out CORRUPT Trustee Pitta, who FAILED to protect the customers (he is on the payroll). Always follow the money …
AI is useful to get started with research, but also often hallucinates. Gemini:
"Ad Hoc Group of DIP financing lenders and affiliates controlled by GoodFinch Management"
Explain how this works, who are they, who do you sue for failing to abide by the terms of the Sunnova contracts?
1. What is the "Ad Hoc Group of DIP financing lenders..." and How Does It Work?
When a massive corporation like Sunnova files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (which they did on June 9, 2025), they usually run out of cash to keep the lights on. To prevent the company from shutting down entirely, the bankruptcy court allows them to take out an emergency loan called DIP (Debtor-In-Possession) Financing.
"Ad Hoc Group of Lenders": This is a temporary coalition of Sunnova’s major corporate bondholders and institutional creditors. Instead of acting individually, they teamed up to fund a $90 million emergency DIP loan to keep Sunnova’s customer-servicing operations running during the court proceedings.
"Controlled by GoodFinch Management": GoodFinch is a private equity/asset management firm specializing in residential solar and consumer finance. They acted as the financial driver and backer behind this group of lenders.
How It Works (The 363 Sale): Because DIP lenders are taking a massive risk lending to a bankrupt company, the court awards them "superpriority administrative claims" and first-priority liens. This means they move to the absolute front of the line to get paid back before anyone else. In Sunnova's case, this group used their ultra-high-priority debt status to execute a Credit Bid. Essentially, instead of demanding cash, they used the billions Sunnova owed them to "buy" the company's assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. They formed a new entity called Solaris Assets, LLC to take ownership of Sunnova's residential solar servicing platform and 500,000+ customer portfolio.
2. Who Are They Operating As Now?
If you are a legacy Sunnova customer, your day-to-day point of contact is no longer Sunnova Energy International. Following the asset transfer, the operations were divided:
Solaris Assets, LLC: This is the new parent company formed by GoodFinch and the DIP lenders that legally owns the solar assets, contracts, and portfolios.
SunStrong Management, LLC: This is the specific subsidiary/servicing entity tasked with the actual hands-on management, monitoring, and billing of your solar and storage systems.
3. Who Do You Sue for Failure to Abide by Your Contract?
This is where the bankruptcy process gets incredibly frustrating for homeowners. In a standard corporate acquisition, a buyer takes on the liabilities of the old company. However, in a bankruptcy court-approved Chapter 11 "363 Sale," assets are explicitly sold "free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances." The corporate split affects who is liable for different aspects of your contract:
A. For Equipment Failure, Leaks, Repairs, or Production Guarantees
Who to target:The Sunnova Bankruptcy Estate / Claims Administrator
The Reality: SunStrong Management has explicitly stated to customers that while they are responsible for billing and managing the leases, they did not assume Sunnova’s Production Guarantees or Limited Warranty obligations. Those liabilities were stripped away and left behind with the dying "Sunnova Bankruptcy Estate".
What you must do: You cannot simply sue SunStrong or Solaris in local small claims court for a broken inverter if it is a pre-bankruptcy warranty issue. You must file a formal Proof of Claim with Sunnova’s bankruptcy claims agent (Kroll Restructuring Administration) before the court-ordered deadline ("bar date") passes. In this pool, you are considered an "unsecured creditor" and will compete against billions of dollars of other claims.
B. If You Wish to Stop Paying Because They Aren't Providing Power
Who to target:Solaris Assets, LLC / SunStrong Management, LLC
The Reality: If your panels are dead, but SunStrong is still actively sending you bills and threatening your credit, your legal positioning changes. Under the federal FTC Holder Rule (which applies to many consumer solar financing structures and leases), a consumer retains the right to assert claims and defenses against the current holder of the contract that they would have had against the original seller.
What you must do: If you are seeking to invalidate the contract, stop billing, or address predatory post-bankruptcy collection practices, your lawsuit or arbitration demand would name Solaris Assets, LLC (the owner of the contract) and SunStrong Management, LLC (the servicer).
C. For Pre-Bankruptcy Consumer Fraud, Predatory Lending, or TILA Violations
Who to target:The Original Contract Holder (via Bankruptcy Court) and potentially the New Holder
The Reality: If you were lied to during the sales process (solar fraud) or given illegal terms under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), bankruptcy does not erase your rights as a borrower. However, the process must navigate the bankruptcy stay.
What you must do: Specialized consumer protection law firms are currently filing consumer claims inside the Southern District of Texas bankruptcy framework to hold the financing entities accountable and prevent them from transferring "dirty" loans to debt buyers without inheriting the legal liabilities.
Disclaimer: Bankruptcy law is incredibly complex and varies depending on whether you have a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), a lease, or a financed loan. If your system is down and you are facing financial harm, consult a consumer protection or bankruptcy attorney immediately to file a Proof of Claim before your rights expire.
