Looking for insight/advice on trying to get out of a (Now bankrupt) Sunnova company solar lease

Discussion

Hello all. So in 2021 I purchase a home here in Las Vegas, NV. The previous owners were in a solar lease agreement with Sunnova and have been since 2018. The lease agreement was transferred over to me by default being the new owner. I was lacking in knowledge then of solar overall and how the lease agreements worked and everything.

Fast forward to now 2025, the price keeps increasing monthly every so often and it just feels like it’s not producing nearly enough power to make it worth the lease and would be much better to buy a whole new system with somebody else and be done with the lease for good.

In the past month or 2, Sunnova has been in the process of filing for bankruptcy, which is not surprising considering how they run their business.

Is there anything I can do at all legally, with a law firm or not, to get out of this solar lease or work out something to not be in it at all anymore since they’re as vulnerable as they can be with filing bankruptcy with their company?

Any and all help and advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
