Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation We are a leading Energy as a Service provider, serving over 309,000 customers in more than 45 United States ("U.S.") states and territories. Sunnova Energy Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on October 22, 2012 and formed Sunnova Energy International Inc. ("SEI") as a Delaware corporation on April 1, 2019. We completed our initial public offering on July 29, 2019 (our "IPO"); and in connection with our IPO, all of Sunnova Energy Corporation's ownership interests were contributed to SEI. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to "Sunnova," the "Company," "we," "our," "us," or like terms, refer to SEI and its consolidated subsidiaries. We have a differentiated dealer model in which we partner with local dealers who originate, design and install our customers' solar energy systems, energy storage systems and related products and services on our behalf. Our focus on our dealer model enables us to leverage our dealers' specialized knowledge, connections and experience in local markets to drive customer origination while providing our dealers with access to high quality products at competitive prices, as well as technical oversight and expertise. We believe this structure provides operational flexibility, reduces exposure to labor shortages and lowers fixed costs relative to our peers, furthering our competitive advantage. We provide our services through long-term agreements with a diversified pool of credit quality customers. Our solar service agreements typically are structured as either a legal-form lease (a "lease") of a solar energy system and/or energy storage system to the customer, the sale of the solar energy system's output to the customer under a power purchase agreement ("PPA") or the purchase of a solar energy system and/or energy storage system either with financing provided by us (a "loan") or paid in full by the customer (a "sale"); however, we also offer service plans and repair services for systems we did not originate. We make it possible in some states for a customer to obtain a new roof and/or other ancillary products. We also allow customers originated through our homebuilder channel the option of purchasing the system when the customer closes on the purchase of a new home. The initial term of our solar service agreements is typically between 10 and 25 years, during which time we provide or arrange for ongoing services to customers, including monitoring, maintenance and warranty services. Our lease and PPA agreements typically include an opportunity for customers to renew for up to an additional 10 years, via two five-year or one 10-year renewal options. Customer payments and rates can be fixed for the duration of the solar service agreement or escalated at a pre-determined percentage annually. We also receive tax benefits and other incentives from leases and PPAs, a portion of which we finance through tax equity, non-recourse debt structures and hedging arrangements in order to fund our upfront costs, overhead and growth investments. Our future success depends in part on our ability to raise capital from third-party investors and commercial sources. We have an established track record of attracting capital from diverse sources. From our inception through March 31, 2023, we have raised more than $12.5 billion in total capital commitments from equity, debt and tax equity investors. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") include our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity and statements of cash flows and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") from records maintained by us. We have condensed or omitted certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. As such, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2022 annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. Our interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary, in our opinion, to state fairly our financial position and results of operations for the reported periods. Amounts reported for interim periods may not be indicative of a full year period because of our continual growth, seasonal fluctuations in demand for power, timing of maintenance and other expenditures, changes in interest expense and other factors. Our interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation , we consolidate any VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary. We form VIEs with our investors in the ordinary course of business to facilitate the funding and monetization of certain attributes associated with our solar energy systems. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity. However, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve holding a majority of the voting interests. A primary beneficiary is defined as the party that has (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We do not consolidate a VIE in which we have a majority ownership interest when we are not considered the primary beneficiary. We have considered the provisions within the contractual arrangements that grant us power to manage and make decisions that affect the operation of our VIEs, including determining the solar energy systems contributed to the VIEs, and the installation, operation and maintenance of the solar energy systems. We consider the rights granted to the other investors under the contractual arrangements to be more protective in nature rather than substantive participating rights. As such, we have determined we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs and evaluate our relationships with our VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether we continue to be the primary beneficiary. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions in consolidation. Revisions We have revised our previously issued interim financial statements to correct immaterial errors pertaining to our interest rate derivative financial instruments, specifically the credit valuation adjustment to account for the counterparties' credit risk.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Included below are updates to significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2022 annual audited consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The application of GAAP in the preparation of the interim financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable—Trade. Accounts receivable—trade primarily represents trade receivables from customers that are generally collected in the subsequent month. Accounts receivable—trade is recorded net of an allowance for credit losses, which is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts based on the best available data at the time. We review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, customer credit rating, contractual term, aging category and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay to identify customers with potential disputes or collection issues. We write off accounts receivable when we deem them uncollectible. The following table presents the changes in the allowance for credit losses recorded against accounts receivable — trade, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 (in thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 1,676 $ 1,044 Provision for current expected credit losses 928 475 Write off of uncollectible accounts (779) (506) Recoveries 62 52 Balance at end of period $ 1,887 $ 1,065 Accounts Receivable—Other. Accounts receivable—other primarily represents receivables from our dealers or other parties related to the sale of inventory and the use of inventory procured by us. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory primarily represents (a) raw materials, such as energy storage systems, photovoltaic modules, inverters, meters and modems, (b) homebuilder construction in progress and (c) other associated equipment purchased. These materials are typically procured by us and used by our dealers, sold to our dealers or held for use as original parts on new solar energy systems or replacement parts on existing solar energy systems. We remove these items from inventory and record the transaction in typically one of these manners: (a) expense to operations and maintenance expense when installed as a replacement part for a solar energy system, (b) recognize in accounts receivable—other when procured by us and used by our dealers, (c) expense to cost of revenue— inventory sales if sold directly to a dealer or other party, (d) capitalize to property and equipment when installed on an existing home or business or (e) capitalize to property and equipment when placed in service under the homebuilder program. We periodically evaluate our inventory for unusable and obsolete items based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Based on this evaluation, provisions are made to write inventory down to net realizable value. The following table presents the detail of inventory as recorded in other current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets: As of As of (in thousands) Energy storage systems and components $ 107,567 $ 74,968 Homebuilder construction in progress 46,443 43,116 Modules and inverters 28,049 32,798 Meters and modems 890 1,166 Other — 65 Total $ 182,949 $ 152,113 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows: • Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. • Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy must be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. An assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. Our financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer notes receivable, investments in solar receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and caps and contingent consideration. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values due to the fact that they are short-term in nature and based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date (Level 1). We estimate the fair value of our customer notes receivable based on interest rates currently offered under the loan program with similar maturities and terms (Level 3). We estimate the fair value of our investments in solar receivables based on a discounted cash flows model that utilizes market data related to solar irradiance, production factors by region and projected electric utility rates in order to build up revenue projections (Level 3). In addition, lease-related revenue and maintenance and service costs were supported through the use of available market studies and data. We estimate the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt based on an analysis of debt with similar book values, maturities and required market yields based on current interest rates (Level 3). We determine the fair values of the interest rate derivative transactions based on a discounted cash flow method using contractual terms of the transactions and counterparty credit risk as key inputs. The floating interest rate is based on observable rates consistent with the frequency of the interest cash flows (Level 2). For contingent consideration, we estimate the fair value of the installation earnout using the Monte Carlo model based on the forecasted placements for the installations and the microgrid earnout using a scenario-based methodology based on the probabilities of the microgrid earnout, both using Level 3 inputs. See Note 6, Customer Notes Receivable, Note 7, Long-Term Debt and Note 8, Derivative Instruments. The following tables present our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: As of March 31, 2023 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Financial assets: Investments in solar receivables $ 70,722 $ — $ — $ 70,722 Derivative assets 133,873 — 133,873 — Total $ 204,595 $ — $ 133,873 $ 70,722 Financial liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 15,040 $ — $ — $ 15,040 Total $ 15,040 $ — $ — $ 15,040 As of December 31, 2022 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Financial assets: Investments in solar receivables $ 72,171 $ — $ — $ 72,171 Derivative assets 112,712 — 112,712 — Total $ 184,883 $ — $ 112,712 $ 72,171 Financial liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 26,787 $ — $ — $ 26,787 Total $ 26,787 $ — $ — $ 26,787 Changes in the fair value of our investments in solar receivables are included in other operating expense/income in the consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the change in the fair value of our financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as recorded in other current assets and other assets (see Note 4, Detail of Certain Balance Sheet Captions) in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 (in thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 72,171 $ 82,658 Additions 969 — Settlements (2,173) (1,320) Loss recognized in earnings (245) (3,760) Balance at end of period $ 70,722 $ 77,578 Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration are included in other operating expense/income accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as recorded in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 (in thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 26,787 $ 67,895 Settlements (10,779) (16,013) Gain recognized in earnings (968) (9,967) Balance at end of period $ 15,040 $ 41,915 The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of our liabilities as of March 31, 2023 using Level 3 inputs: Unobservable Weighted Liabilities: Contingent consideration - installation earnout Volatility 35.00% Revenue risk premium 16.00% Risk-free discount rate 4.06% Contingent consideration - microgrid earnout Probability of success 25.00% Risk-free discount rate 4.06% Significant increases or decreases in the volatility, revenue risk premium, probability of success or risk-free discount rate in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Revenue The following table presents the detail of revenue as recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 (in thousands) PPA revenue $ 21,746 $ 21,185 Lease revenue 31,343 21,780 Inventory sales revenue 59,914 — Solar renewable energy certificate revenue 7,791 6,244 Cash sales revenue 16,819 11,348 Loan revenue 7,143 3,376 Other revenue 16,940 1,789 Total $ 161,696 $ 65,722 We recognize revenue from contracts with customers as we satisfy our performance obligations at a transaction price reflecting an amount of consideration based upon an estimated rate of return, net of cash incentives. We express this rate of return as the solar rate per kilowatt hour ("kWh") in the customer contract. The amount of revenue we recognize does not equal customer cash payments because we satisfy performance obligations ahead of cash receipt or evenly as we provide continuous access on a stand-ready basis to the solar energy system. We reflect the differences between revenue recognition and cash payments received in accounts receivable, other assets or deferred revenue, as appropriate. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue we have not yet recognized and includes deferred revenue as well as amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted but not yet recognized revenue was approximately $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2023, of which we expect to recognize approximately 3% over the next 12 months. We do not expect the annual recognition to vary significantly over approximately the next 20 years as the vast majority of existing solar service agreements have at least 20 years remaining, given the average age of the fleet of solar energy systems under contract is less than four years. Certain customers may receive cash incentives. We defer recognition of the payment of these cash incentives and recognize them over the life of the contract as a reduction to revenue. The deferred payment is recorded in other assets for customers who receive the cash incentives under our lease and PPA agreements, and as a contra-liability in other long-term liabilities for customers who receive the cash incentives under our loan agreements. PPAs. Customers purchase electricity from us under PPAs. Pursuant to ASC 606, we recognize revenue based upon the amount of electricity delivered as determined by remote monitoring equipment at solar rates specified under the PPAs. All customers must pass our credit evaluation process. The PPAs generally have a term of 20 or 25 years with an opportunity for customers to renew for up to an additional 10 years, via two five-year or one 10-year renewal options. Leases . We are the lessor under lease agreements for solar energy systems and energy storage systems, which do not meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842 and are accounted for as contracts with customers under ASC 606. We recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term as we satisfy our obligation to provide continuous access to the solar energy system. All customers must pass our credit evaluation process. The lease agreements generally have a term of 20 or 25 years with an opportunity for customers to renew for up to an additional 10 years, via two five-year or one 10-year renewal options. In most cases, we provide customers under our lease agreements a performance guarantee that each solar energy system will achieve a certain specified minimum solar energy production output, which is a significant proportion of its expected output. The specified minimum solar energy production output may not be achieved due to natural fluctuations in the weather or equipment failures from exposure and wear and tear outside of our control, among other factors. We determine the amount of the guaranteed output based on a number of different factors, including: (a) the specific site information related to the tilt of the panels, azimuth (a horizontal angle measured clockwise in degrees from a reference direction) of the panels, size of the system, and shading on site; (b) the calculated amount of available irradiance (amount of energy for a given flat surface facing a specific direction) based on historical average weather data and (c) the calculated amount of energy output of the solar energy system. While actual irradiance levels can significantly change year over year due to natural fluctuations in the weather, we expect the levels to average out over the term of a lease and to approximate the levels used in determining the amount of the performance guarantee. Generally, weather fluctuations are the most likely reason a solar energy system may not achieve a certain specified minimum solar energy production output. If the solar energy system does not produce the guaranteed production amount, we are required to refund a portion of the previously remitted customer payments, where the repayment is calculated as the product of (a) the shortfall production amount and (b) the dollar amount (guaranteed rate) per kWh that is fixed throughout the term of the contract. These remittances of a customer's payments, if needed, are payable as early as the first anniversary of the solar energy system's placed in service date and then every annual period thereafter. See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies. Inventory Sales . Inventory sales revenue represents revenue from the direct sale of inventory to our dealers or other parties. We recognize the related revenue under ASC 606 upon shipment. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue—inventory sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Solar Renewable Energy Certificates. Each solar renewable energy certificate ("SREC") represents the environmental benefit of one megawatt hour (1,000 kWh) generated by a solar energy system. SRECs can be sold separate from the actual electricity generated by the renewable-based generation source. We account for the SRECs we generate from our solar energy systems as governmental incentives with no costs incurred to obtain them and do not consider those SRECs output of the underlying solar energy systems. We classify these SRECs as inventory held until sold and delivered to third parties. As we did not incur costs to obtain these governmental incentives, the inventory carrying value for the SRECs was $0 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We enter into economic hedges related to expected production of SRECs through forward contracts. While these fixed price forward contracts serve as an economic hedge against spot price fluctuations for the SRECs, the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and are not designated as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. The contracts require us to physically deliver the SRECs upon settlement. We recognize the related revenue under ASC 606 upon satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer the SRECs to the stated counterparty. Payments are typically received within one month of transferring the SREC to the counterparty. The costs related to the sales of SRECs are generally limited to broker fees (recorded in cost of revenue—other), which are only paid in connection with certain transactions. In certain circumstances we are required to purchase SRECs on the open market to fulfill minimum delivery requirements under our forward contracts. Cash Sales. Cash sales revenue represents revenue from a customer's purchase of a solar energy system from us typically when purchasing a new home. We recognize the related revenue under ASC 606 upon verification of the home closing. Loans. See discussion of loan revenue in the " Loans " section below. Other Revenue. Other revenue includes certain state and utility incentives, revenue from the direct sale of solar energy systems and energy storage systems to customers with financing provided by us and sales of service plans and repair services. We recognize revenue from state and utility incentives in the periods in which they are earned. We recognize revenue from the direct sale of energy storage systems in the period in which the storage components are placed in service. Service plans are available to customers whose solar energy system was not originally sold by Sunnova. We recognize revenue from service plan contracts on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, which is typically 10 years. We recognize revenue from repair services in the period in which the service was performed. Loans We offer a loan program, under which the customer finances the purchase of a solar energy system or energy storage system through a solar service agreement, typically for a term of 10, 15 or 25 years. We recognize cash payments received from customers on a monthly basis under our loan program (a) as interest income, to the extent attributable to earned interest on the contract that financed the customer's purchase of the solar energy system or energy storage system; (b) as a reduction of a note receivable on the balance sheet, to the extent attributable to a return of principal (whether scheduled or prepaid) on the contract that financed the customer's purchase of the solar energy system or energy storage system; and (c) as revenue, to the extent attributable to payments for operations and maintenance services provided by us. To qualify for the loan program, a customer must pass our credit evaluation process, which requires the customer to have a minimum FICO ® score of 600 to 710 depending on certain circumstances, and we secure the loans with the solar energy systems or energy storage systems financed. The credit evaluation process is performed once for each customer at the time the customer is entering into the solar service agreement with us. Our investments in solar energy systems and energy storage systems related to the loan program that are not yet placed in service are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are transferred to customer notes receivable upon being placed in service. Customer notes receivable are recorded at amortized cost, net of an allowance for credit losses (as described below), in other current assets and customer notes receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable related to our customer notes receivable is recorded in accounts receivable—trade, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income from customer notes receivable is recorded in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. The amortized cost of our customer notes receivable is equal to the principal balance of customer notes receivable outstanding and does not include accrued interest receivable. Customer notes receivable continue to accrue interest until they are written off against the allowance, which occurs when the balance is 180 days or more past due unless the balance is in the process of collection. Customer notes receivable are considered past due one day after the due date based on the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In all cases, customer notes receivable balances are placed on a nonaccrual status or written off at an earlier date when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off. Accrued interest receivable for customer notes receivable placed on a nonaccrual status is recorded as a reduction to interest income. Interest received on such customer notes receivable is accounted for on a cash basis until the customer notes receivable qualifies for the return to accrual status. Customer notes receivable are returned to accrual status when there is no longer any principal or interest amounts past due and future payments are reasonably assured. The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the customer notes receivable amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected. It is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics (such as financial asset type, customer credit rating, contractual term and vintage) exist. In determining the allowance for credit losses, we identify customers with potential disputes or collection issues and consider our historical level of credit losses and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as differences in underwriting standards. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loan agreements based on the best available data at the time and adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: (a) we have a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual customer or (b) the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancelable by us. See Note 6, Customer Notes Receivable. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of amounts for which the criteria for revenue recognition have not yet been met and includes (a) payments for unfulfilled performance obligations that will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the respective solar service agreements, net of any cash incentives earned by the customers, (b) down payments and partial or full prepayments from customers and (c) differences due to the timing of energy production versus billing for certain types of PPAs. Deferred revenue was $297.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The following table presents the detail of deferred revenue as recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets: As of As of (in thousands) Loans $ 689,342 $ 586,128 PPAs and leases 30,790 24,893 Solar receivables 4,536 4,602 Total (1) $ 724,668 $ 615,623 (1) Of this amount, $38.9 million and $30.2 million is recorded in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $19.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, from amounts recorded in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective years. Self-Insurance In January 2023, we changed our health insurance policy for qualifying employees in the U.S. from a fully-insured policy to a self-insured policy in order to administer insurance coverage to our employees at a lower cost to us. The change in insurance policy did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Under the self-insured policy, we maintain stop-loss coverage from a third party that limits our exposure to large claims. We record a liability associated with these benefits that includes an estimate of both claims filed and losses incurred but not yet reported based on historical claims experience. In estimating this accrual, we utilize a third-party actuary to estimate a range of expected losses, which are based on an analysis of historical data. Assumptions are monitored and adjusted when warranted by changing circumstances. We record our liability for estimated losses under our self-insured policy in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, our liability for self-insured claims was $2.4 million, which represents our best estimate of the future cost of claims. We believe we have adequate reserves for these claims as of March 31, 2023; however, the actual value of such claims could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions. New Accounting Guidance New accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted as of the specified effective date. In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures , to eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning in January 2023. We adopted this ASU in January 2023 and determined it did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract]
Asset Retirement Obligations ("ARO")	Asset Retirement Obligations ("ARO") AROs consist primarily of costs to remove solar energy system assets and costs to restore the solar energy system sites to the original condition, which we estimate based on current market rates. For each solar energy system, we recognize the fair value of the ARO as a liability and capitalize that cost as part of the cost basis of the related solar energy system. The related assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 30 years, which is the estimated average time a solar energy system will be installed in a location before being removed, and the related liabilities are accreted to the full value over the same period of time. We revise our estimated future liabilities based on recent actual experiences, including third party cost estimates, average size of solar energy systems and inflation rates, which we evaluate at least annually. Changes in our estimated future liabilities are recorded as either a reduction or addition in the carrying amount of the remaining unamortized asset and the ARO and either decrease or increase our depreciation and accretion expense amounts prospectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income TaxesOur effective income tax rate is 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Total income tax differs from the amounts computed by applying the statutory income tax rate to loss before income tax primarily as a result of our valuation allowance. We assessed whether we had any significant uncertain tax positions taken in a filed tax return, planned to be taken in a future tax return or claim, or otherwise subject to interpretation and determined there were none not more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position, or prospectively approved when such approval may be sought in advance. Accordingly, we recorded no reserve for uncertain tax positions. Should a provision for any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is our policy to accrue for such in our income tax accounts. There were no such accruals as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and we do not expect a significant change in gross unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. Our tax years after 2011 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and by the taxing authorities in the states and territories in which we operate.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal. We are a party to a number of lawsuits, claims and governmental proceedings that are ordinary, routine matters incidental to our business. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we periodically have disputes with dealers and customers. We do not expect the outcomes of these matters to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Performance Guarantee Obligations. As of March 31, 2023, we recorded $3.1 million related to our guarantee of certain specified minimum solar energy production output under our leases and loans, of which $1.8 million is recorded in other current liabilities and $1.3 million is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022, we recorded $4.8 million related to these guarantees, of which $2.5 million is recorded in other current liabilities and $2.3 million is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We enter into contracts that include indemnifications and guarantee provisions. In general, we enter into contracts with indemnities for matters such as breaches of representations and warranties and covenants contained in the contract and/or against certain specified liabilities. Examples of these contracts include dealer agreements, debt agreements, asset purchases and sales agreements, service agreements and procurement agreements. We are unable to estimate our maximum potential exposure under these agreements until an event triggering payment occurs. Dealer Commitments. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the net unamortized balance of payments to dealers for exclusivity and other similar arrangements was $144.6 million and $121.3 million, respectively. Under these agreements, we paid $24.6 million and $13.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We could be obligated to make maximum payments, excluding additional amounts payable on a per watt basis if even higher thresholds are met, as follows: Dealer (in thousands) Remaining 2023 $ 43,187 2024 74,399 2025 58,986 2026 36,904 2027 30,000 2028 and thereafter — Total $ 243,476 Purchase Commitments. In December 2021, we amended an agreement with a supplier in which we agreed to purchase at least 1,420 megawatt hours of solar energy systems, energy storage systems and accessories through December 2023. The amendment does not contain specific dollar amounts or thresholds; however, we estimate these remaining purchase commitments to be approximately $457.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we purchased $78.4 million and $50.6 million, respectively, under this agreement. Information Technology Commitments. We have certain long-term contractual commitments related to information technology software services and licenses. Future commitments as of March 31, 2023 were as follows: Information (in thousands) Remaining 2023 $ 27,796 2024 6,012 2025 85 2026 — 2027 — 2028 and thereafter — Total $ 33,893

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Financing with the U.S. Department of Energy . In April 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (the "DOE") announced a conditional commitment to guarantee 90% of up to approximately $3.3 billion of certain of our future financing arrangements under its Innovative Clean Energy Loan Guarantee Program. The commitment is subject to various customary conditions. There is no assurance the DOE's conditional commitment will be fulfilled on the terms announced or at all or that the related guarantees will provide the anticipated benefits to us. SOLV Debt . In April 2023, we pooled and transferred eligible solar energy systems and the related asset receivables into wholly-owned subsidiaries of SOLV, a special purpose entity, that issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2023-1 Class A solar asset-backed notes and $23.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2023-1 Class B solar asset-backed notes (collectively, the "SOLV Notes") with a maturity date of April 2058. The SOLV Notes were issued at a discount of 5.01% and 11.63% for the Class A and Class B notes, respectively, and bear interest at an annual rate equal to 5.40% and 7.35% for the Class A and Class B notes, respectively. The cash flows generated by the solar energy systems of SOLV's subsidiaries are used to service the quarterly principal and interest payments on the SOLV Notes and satisfy SOLV's expenses, and any remaining cash can be distributed to Sunnova Sol V Depositor, LLC, SOLV's sole member. In connection with the SOLV Notes, certain of our affiliates receive a fee for managing and servicing the solar energy systems pursuant to a transaction management agreement and management and servicing agreements. In addition, Sunnova Energy Corporation has guaranteed (a) the obligations of certain of our subsidiaries to manage and service the solar energy systems pursuant to a transaction management agreement and management and servicing agreements, (b) the managing members' obligations, in such capacity, under the related financing fund's limited liability company agreement and (c) certain of our subsidiaries' obligations to repurchase or substitute certain ineligible solar energy systems eventually sold to SOLV pursuant to the sale and contribution agreement. SOLV is also required to maintain certain reserve accounts for the benefit of the holders of the SOLV Notes, each of which must remain funded at all times to the levels specified in the SOLV Notes. The indenture requires SOLV to track the debt service coverage ratio (such ratio, the "DSCR") of (a) the amount of certain payments received from customers, certain performance based incentives, certain energy credits and any applicable insurance proceeds as of a specific date to (b) interest and scheduled principal due on the SOLV Notes as of such date, with the potential to enter into an early amortization period if the DSCR drops below a certain threshold. The holders of the SOLV Notes have no recourse to our other assets except as expressly set forth in the SOLV Notes. Noncontrolling Interests . In April 2023, the Class A member of Sunnova TEP V-C, LLC increased its capital commitment from $150.0 million to $150.2 million. In April 2023, the Class A member of Sunnova TEP 6-A, LLC increased its capital commitment from $50.0 million to $57.7 million. Common Stock. In April 2023, we issued 690,122 shares of our common stock to Len x , LLC pursuant to the terms of the earnout agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of SunStreet Energy Group, LLC.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") include our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity and statements of cash flows and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") from records maintained by us. We have condensed or omitted certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. As such, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2022 annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. Our interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary, in our opinion, to state fairly our financial position and results of operations for the reported periods. Amounts reported for interim periods may not be indicative of a full year period because of our continual growth, seasonal fluctuations in demand for power, timing of maintenance and other expenditures, changes in interest expense and other factors. Our interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation , we consolidate any VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary. We form VIEs with our investors in the ordinary course of business to facilitate the funding and monetization of certain attributes associated with our solar energy systems. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity. However, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve holding a majority of the voting interests. A primary beneficiary is defined as the party that has (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We do not
Revisions	RevisionsWe have revised our previously issued interim financial statements to correct immaterial errors pertaining to our interest rate derivative financial instruments, specifically the credit valuation adjustment to account for the counterparties' credit risk. We did not record the estimated reduction to the derivative assets related to the credit valuation adjustment as of March 31, 2022. These immaterial errors impacted our consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The application of GAAP in the preparation of the interim financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts ReceivableAccounts Receivable—Trade. Accounts receivable—trade primarily represents trade receivables from customers that are generally collected in the subsequent month. Accounts receivable—trade is recorded net of an allowance for credit losses, which is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts based on the best available data at the time. We review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, customer credit rating, contractual term, aging category and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay to identify customers with potential disputes or collection issues. We write off accounts receivable when we deem them uncollectible. Accounts Receivable—Other. Accounts receivable—other primarily represents receivables from our dealers or other parties related to the sale of inventory and the use of inventory procured by us.
Inventory	Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory primarily represents (a) raw materials, such as energy storage systems, photovoltaic modules, inverters, meters and modems, (b) homebuilder construction in progress and (c) other associated equipment purchased. These materials are typically procured by us and used by our dealers, sold to our dealers or held for use as original parts on new solar energy systems or replacement parts on existing solar energy systems. We remove these items from inventory and record the transaction in typically one of these manners: (a) expense to operations and maintenance expense when installed as a replacement part for a solar energy system, (b) recognize in accounts receivable—other when procured by us and used by our dealers, (c) expense to cost of revenue—
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows: • Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. • Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy must be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. An assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. Our financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer notes receivable, investments in solar receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and caps and contingent consideration. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values due to the fact that they are short-term in nature and based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date (Level 1). We estimate the fair value of our customer notes receivable based on interest rates currently offered under the loan program with similar maturities and terms (Level 3). We estimate the fair value of our investments in solar receivables based on a discounted cash flows model that utilizes market data related to solar irradiance, production factors by region and projected electric utility rates in order to build up revenue projections (Level 3). In addition, lease-related revenue and maintenance and service costs were supported through the use of available market studies and data. We estimate the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt based on an analysis of debt with similar book values, maturities and required market yields based on current interest rates (Level 3). We determine the fair values of the interest rate derivative transactions based on a discounted cash flow method using contractual terms of the transactions and counterparty credit risk as key inputs. The floating interest rate is based on observable rates consistent with the frequency of the interest cash flows (Level 2). For contingent consideration, we estimate the fair value of the installation earnout using the Monte Carlo model based on the forecasted placements for the installations and the microgrid earnout using a scenario-based methodology based on the probabilities of the microgrid earnout, both using Level 3 inputs. See Note 6, Customer Notes Receivable, Note 7, Long-Term Debt and Note 8, Derivative Instruments. other operating expense/income
Revenue / Loans / Deferred Revenue	RevenueWe recognize revenue from contracts with customers as we satisfy our performance obligations at a transaction price reflecting an amount of consideration based upon an estimated rate of return, net of cash incentives. We express this rate of return as the solar rate per kilowatt hour ("kWh") in the customer contract. The amount of revenue we recognize does not equal customer cash payments because we satisfy performance obligations ahead of cash receipt or evenly as we provide continuous access on a stand-ready basis to the solar energy system. We reflect the differences between revenue recognition and cash payments received in accounts receivable, other assets or deferred revenue, as appropriate. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue we have not yet recognized and includes deferred revenue as well as amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted but not yet recognized revenue was approximately $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2023, of which we expect to recognize approximately 3% over the next 12 months. We do not expect the annual recognition to vary significantly over approximately the next 20 years as the vast majority of existing solar service agreements have at least 20 years remaining, given the average age of the fleet of solar energy systems under contract is less than four years. Certain customers may receive cash incentives. We defer recognition of the payment of these cash incentives and recognize them over the life of the contract as a reduction to revenue. The deferred payment is recorded in other assets for customers who receive the cash incentives under our lease and PPA agreements, and as a contra-liability in other long-term liabilities for customers who receive the cash incentives under our loan agreements. PPAs. Customers purchase electricity from us under PPAs. Pursuant to ASC 606, we recognize revenue based upon the amount of electricity delivered as determined by remote monitoring equipment at solar rates specified under the PPAs. All customers must pass our credit evaluation process. The PPAs generally have a term of 20 or 25 years with an opportunity for customers to renew for up to an additional 10 years, via two five-year or one 10-year renewal options. Leases . We are the lessor under lease agreements for solar energy systems and energy storage systems, which do not meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842 and are accounted for as contracts with customers under ASC 606. We recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term as we satisfy our obligation to provide continuous access to the solar energy system. All customers must pass our credit evaluation process. The lease agreements generally have a term of 20 or 25 years with an opportunity for customers to renew for up to an additional 10 years, via two five-year or one 10-year renewal options. In most cases, we provide customers under our lease agreements a performance guarantee that each solar energy system will achieve a certain specified minimum solar energy production output, which is a significant proportion of its expected output. The specified minimum solar energy production output may not be achieved due to natural fluctuations in the weather or equipment failures from exposure and wear and tear outside of our control, among other factors. We determine the amount of the guaranteed output based on a number of different factors, including: (a) the specific site information related to the tilt of the panels, azimuth (a horizontal angle measured clockwise in degrees from a reference direction) of the panels, size of the system, and shading on site; (b) the calculated amount of available irradiance (amount of energy for a given flat surface facing a specific direction) based on historical average weather data and (c) the calculated amount of energy output of the solar energy system. While actual irradiance levels can significantly change year over year due to natural fluctuations in the weather, we expect the levels to average out over the term of a lease and to approximate the levels used in determining the amount of the performance guarantee. Generally, weather fluctuations are the most likely reason a solar energy system may not achieve a certain specified minimum solar energy production output. If the solar energy system does not produce the guaranteed production amount, we are required to refund a portion of the previously remitted customer payments, where the repayment is calculated as the product of (a) the shortfall production amount and (b) the dollar amount (guaranteed rate) per kWh that is fixed throughout the term of the contract. These remittances of a customer's payments, if needed, are payable as early as the first anniversary of the solar energy system's placed in service date and then every annual period thereafter. See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies. Inventory Sales . Inventory sales revenue represents revenue from the direct sale of inventory to our dealers or other parties. We recognize the related revenue under ASC 606 upon shipment. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue—inventory sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Solar Renewable Energy Certificates. Each solar renewable energy certificate ("SREC") represents the environmental benefit of one megawatt hour (1,000 kWh) generated by a solar energy system. SRECs can be sold separate from the actual electricity generated by the renewable-based generation source. We account for the SRECs we generate from our solar energy systems as governmental incentives with no costs incurred to obtain them and do not consider those SRECs output of the underlying solar energy systems. We classify these SRECs as inventory held until sold and delivered to third parties. As we did not incur costs to obtain these governmental incentives, the inventory carrying value for the SRECs was $0 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We enter into economic hedges related to expected production of SRECs through forward contracts. While these fixed price forward contracts serve as an economic hedge against spot price fluctuations for the SRECs, the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and are not designated as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. The contracts require us to physically deliver the SRECs upon settlement. We recognize the related revenue under ASC 606 upon satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer the SRECs to the stated counterparty. Payments are typically received within one month of transferring the SREC to the counterparty. The costs related to the sales of SRECs are generally limited to broker fees (recorded in cost of revenue—other), which are only paid in connection with certain transactions. In certain circumstances we are required to purchase SRECs on the open market to fulfill minimum delivery requirements under our forward contracts. Cash Sales. Cash sales revenue represents revenue from a customer's purchase of a solar energy system from us typically when purchasing a new home. We recognize the related revenue under ASC 606 upon verification of the home closing. Loans. See discussion of loan revenue in the " Loans " section below. Other Revenue. Other revenue includes certain state and utility incentives, revenue from the direct sale of solar energy systems and energy storage systems to customers with financing provided by us and sales of service plans and repair services. We recognize revenue from state and utility incentives in the periods in which they are earned. We recognize revenue from the direct sale of energy storage systems in the period in which the storage components are placed in service. Service plans are available to customers whose solar energy system was not originally sold by Sunnova. We recognize revenue from service plan contracts on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, which is typically 10 years. We recognize revenue from repair services in the period in which the service was performed. Loans We offer a loan program, under which the customer finances the purchase of a solar energy system or energy storage system through a solar service agreement, typically for a term of 10, 15 or 25 years. We recognize cash payments received from customers on a monthly basis under our loan program (a) as interest income, to the extent attributable to earned interest on the contract that financed the customer's purchase of the solar energy system or energy storage system; (b) as a reduction of a note receivable on the balance sheet, to the extent attributable to a return of principal (whether scheduled or prepaid) on the contract that financed the customer's purchase of the solar energy system or energy storage system; and (c) as revenue, to the extent attributable to payments for operations and maintenance services provided by us. To qualify for the loan program, a customer must pass our credit evaluation process, which requires the customer to have a minimum FICO ® score of 600 to 710 depending on certain circumstances, and we secure the loans with the solar energy systems or energy storage systems financed. The credit evaluation process is performed once for each customer at the time the customer is entering into the solar service agreement with us. Our investments in solar energy systems and energy storage systems related to the loan program that are not yet placed in service are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are transferred to customer notes receivable upon being placed in service. Customer notes receivable are recorded at amortized cost, net of an allowance for credit losses (as described below), in other current assets and customer notes receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable related to our customer notes receivable is recorded in accounts receivable—trade, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income from customer notes receivable is recorded in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. The amortized cost of our customer notes receivable is equal to the principal balance of customer notes receivable outstanding and does not include accrued interest receivable. Customer notes receivable continue to accrue interest until they are written off against the allowance, which occurs when the balance is 180 days or more past due unless the balance is in the process of collection. Customer notes receivable are considered past due one day after the due date based on the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In all cases, customer notes receivable balances are placed on a nonaccrual status or written off at an earlier date when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off. Accrued interest receivable for customer notes receivable placed on a nonaccrual status is recorded as a reduction to interest income. Interest received on such customer notes receivable is accounted for on a cash basis until the customer notes receivable qualifies for the return to accrual status. Customer notes receivable are returned to accrual status when there is no longer any principal or interest amounts past due and future payments are reasonably assured. The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the customer notes receivable amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected. It is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics (such as financial asset type, customer credit rating, contractual term and vintage) exist. In determining the allowance for credit losses, we identify customers with potential disputes or collection issues and consider our historical level of credit losses and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as differences in underwriting standards. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loan agreements based on the best available data at the time and adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: (a) we have a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual customer or (b) the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancelable by us. See Note 6, Customer Notes Receivable.
Self-Insurance	Self-Insurance In January 2023, we changed our health insurance policy for qualifying employees in the U.S. from a fully-insured policy to a self-insured policy in order to administer insurance coverage to our employees at a lower cost to us. The change in insurance policy did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Under the self-insured policy, we maintain stop-loss coverage from a third party that limits our exposure to large claims. We record a liability associated with these benefits that includes an estimate of both claims filed and losses incurred but not yet reported based on historical claims experience. In estimating this accrual, we utilize a third-party actuary to estimate a range of expected losses, which are based on an analysis of historical data. Assumptions are monitored and adjusted when warranted by changing circumstances. We record our liability for estimated losses under our self-insured policy in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, our liability for self-insured claims was $2.4 million, which represents our best estimate of the future cost of claims. We believe we have adequate reserves for these claims as of March 31, 2023; however, the actual value of such claims could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions.
New Accounting Guidance	New Accounting Guidance New accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted as of the specified effective date. In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures , to eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning in January 2023. We adopted this ASU in January 2023 and determined it did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
