Sunnova files Chapter 11 with about US$10.67bn of debt
Sunnova Energy International · Residential solar leasing
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Unit economics & burn
Would have shown returns on new systems below cost of capital.
Can mislead when: Cost allocation is a judgement call. Kubr shows its assumptions and lets the user change them.
Regulatory & litigation records
Would have flagged exposure to tax-credit and net metering changes.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.
Governance signals
Would have flagged the going-concern warning.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
