Business Wire
Sunnova Energy International Inc. ("Sunnova") (NYSE: NOVA), one
of the leading U.S. residential solar and storage service
providers, announced today that it completed its previously
announced acquisition of SunStreet Energy Group, LLC, Lennar
Corporation’s (“Lennar”) (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B) residential solar
platform (“SunStreet”), and has become Lennar’s exclusive
residential solar and storage service provider for new home
communities with solar across the country. Additionally, as part of
the transaction, Lennar committed to provide tax equity investments
to support Sunnova’s homebuilder customer pipeline.
"We are excited to welcome SunStreet’s team and customers to our
Sunnova family and look forward to accelerating the adoption of
residential solar and storage service on new homes across the
United States,” said William J. (John) Berger, Chief Executive
Officer of Sunnova. “Under Sunnova’s ownership, we will bring
SunStreet’s proven track record of high-quality, timely
installations to even more homebuilders, and deliver existing
SunStreet customers the option for new energy services through the
addition of battery storage and other core Sunnova offerings. This
transaction positions Sunnova to propel customer growth while
simultaneously scaling our business and positioning us as a market
leader in the homebuilder industry."
SunStreet has a distinct understanding of homebuilding
operations that has earned the company a reputation for being a
proven leader in the residential solar market for homebuilders.
This acquisition provides a new strategic path that will allow
Sunnova to generate significant stockholder value, increase
customer growth, and develop clean and resilient residential
microgrids. As Sunnova’s business impact grows, so too will its
positive social and environmental impact, helping the company
achieve its overarching mission of powering energy
independence.
