Sunnova Brings Solar and Storage to Ohio and North Carolina

Sunnova Energy International Inc. ("Sunnova") (NYSE: NOVA), one of the leading U.S. residential solar and storage service providers, announced today it will begin offering its services in Ohio and North Carolina. Both states will have access to Sunnova’s SunSafe® solar + battery storage service, and +SunSafe® add-on battery service, which will allow homeowners to maintain energy resiliency in the face of potential grid crises and rising electricity rates. Sunnova will also be the first national residential solar and energy storage service provider with extensive 25-year system and battery coverage to offer its services in Ohio1.

“Sunnova is proud to be first in Ohio. The state’s solar prices have fallen 45 percent in the last five years as per Solar Energy Industries Association’s data, and our goal is to enhance Ohio’s access to clean, affordable energy and help the state reach its renewable energy targets,” said Michael Grasso, Chief Marketing Officer of Sunnova. “As we expand to new markets and grow our customer base, we are also looking forward to growing our key network of dealers which means supporting more renewable energy jobs.”

Between 2015 and 2019, the amount of time Ohio residents lost power each year nearly doubled2. Sunnova’s SunSafe and +SunSafe services in Ohio and North Carolina will increase homeowners’ energy independence by allowing them to produce their own clean energy and store excess in the battery for later use. As soon as the grid is down, homeowners can simply switch to using the stored energy and run the electrical appliances of their choosing3.

“North Carolina is a key market for us; the state has set solid goals to reduce its carbon emissions by 2030 and rooftop solar is a critical part of the solution,” continued Grasso. “North Carolina is only second to Florida in the number of tropical cyclone landfalls which have caused hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians to lose power. Sunnova is not only looking to help relieve the grid stress that can arise from such extreme weather events but more importantly, we want to provide homeowners the energy reliability and resiliency they need to keep their families safe.”

According to the U.S. Energy Information Association, North Carolina and Ohio have seen their electricity rates rise by 15% and 16% respectively from 2009 to 2019. Sunnova’s services will help homeowners take control over their energy costs. By going solar with Sunnova under the Easy Own PlanTM loan, homeowners will no longer need to guess what the utility provider will be charging them next month or six months down the line, they will always know the cost of solar with Sunnova.

Customers in both states will also be covered by Sunnova Protect™, featuring worry and hassle-free maintenance, monitoring, repairs, and replacements for their solar systems and batteries4. Sunnova’s +SunSafe add-on battery service can also be added to homes that have existing solar systems, allowing the company to power energy independence and the customer to live life uninterrupted.
