Hey there solar friends! Today I’m gonna walk you through the latest on Sunnova bill payment options following some major company changes. If you’re a Sunnova customer, you’ve probably received some emails about transitions and might be wondering what’s happening with your solar service and payments. Let’s dive in!
The Big Changes at Sunnova: What Happened?
So here’s the deal – Sunnova has gone through a major transformation Through a court-supervised Chapter 11 sale process, new owners have acquired pretty much all of Sunnova’s assets and operations What does this mean for you? Well, Sunnova as we knew it has ceased independent operations, and a company called SunStrong Management has stepped in to take over servicing and managing most customer systems.
This change was designed to ensure continuity for existing customers like you and me The good news is that your solar system will keep running, and your billing setup remains in place (at least for now)
Who is SunStrong Management Anyway?
Before we talk about bill payments, you might be wondering who these SunStrong folks are According to the transition info, SunStrong Management is a full-service asset manager that specializes in the renewable energy sector They’re led by industry veterans who focus on managing residential solar portfolios – including all the different arrangement types like leases, loans, and power-purchase agreements.
Their services cover:
- Operations & maintenance
- Billing & collections
- Investor engagement
They’re positioning themselves as having a “customer-first approach” for the households they serve. Which is nice to hear, but we’ll see how it goes in practice!
How to Pay Your Bill Now: Current Options
If you’re reading this, you probably just want to know “how do I pay my dang solar bill?” Fair enough! Here’s what you need to know:
Keep Making Payments As Usual
According to the transition information, your payment arrangements should remain the same for now. SunStrong has instructed customers to continue making payments as usual until you receive updated instructions directly from them.
If your account was among those transitioned to SunStrong, you should have already gotten communications outlining the next steps for maintaining your solar service, billing, and account access.
Online Account Access
The previous Sunnova customer portal at account.sunnova.com is still redirecting users, though it appears to be in a transition state. If you previously had online account access for bill payment, you’ll likely be guided to a new portal operated by SunStrong.
Since the transition is still relatively new (the last update was November 2, 2025), some of these systems may still be getting smoothed out.
Common Questions About Sunnova Bill Pay During the Transition
Will My Payment Terms Change?
According to the transition FAQ, no – your payments and contract terms should not change. You should continue your payments as usual, and SunStrong will notify you directly with clear instructions if any changes do occur.
What If I Had Auto-Pay Set Up?
If you previously had auto-payments set up through Sunnova, these payment arrangements should continue to process normally under SunStrong’s management. However, it’s probably a good idea to monitor your accounts during the first couple billing cycles to ensure everything is processing correctly.
What If I’m Having Trouble Paying My Bill?
SunStrong Management has taken over customer service functions, so any billing assistance would now go through them. The resources page indicates that contact information should have been provided in your SunStrong welcome email.
If you’re experiencing financial hardship or having issues with bill payment, reaching out to the customer support team at SunStrong would be the recommended course of action.
What About In-Progress Installations?
This is a bit off-topic from bill payments, but if you were in the middle of getting a system installed when all this happened, here’s what’s going on:
SunStrong is working with GoodLeap (a leading solar market participant) to complete certain in-progress installations. If your project qualifies, you’ll be contacted by your dealer or a GoodLeap representative.

Tips for Managing Your Sunnova/SunStrong Bill Payments
-
Keep documentation: During any transition, it’s smart to keep records of all payments, confirmations, and communications.
-
Check your emails: Make sure you’re not missing any communications from SunStrong about account changes.
-
Update contact info: If you’ve changed phone numbers or email addresses since setting up your Sunnova account, now would be a good time to make sure your contact info is current.
-
Monitor your bank account: Keep an eye on any auto-drafts to ensure they’re processing for the correct amount.
-
Be patient but persistent: Company transitions can be bumpy, so some patience might be needed, but don’t hesitate to follow up on any billing issues.
