Who handles Renova Energy accounts now
Renova no longer operates. Customers with SunPower leases or PPAs installed by Renova are served by SunStrong Management, which took over those accounts in SunPower's bankruptcy. Customers who bought their systems or financed them elsewhere should contact the company that bills them and hire a licensed contractor for service. Equipment warranties remain with the manufacturers.
Bankruptcy case. Chapter 7, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (Riverside), case 6:26-bk-12094-RB, filed March 22, 2026. Claim deadline: September 29, 2026.
What it means for homeowners
- If you lease from SunPower, SunStrong Management now handles your system, not Renova.
- Customers who own their systems lost Renova's workmanship warranty and need a new maintenance provider.
- Keep paying your loan or lease; Renova's bankruptcy does not cancel it.
- Renova's founder started a new company, Mycrogrid; it is a separate business and not responsible for Renova's obligations.
