28 May, 2026Strategic positioning and market opportunity
Holds a 19% share of residential solar installations and 37% of subscription volumes, leading the U.S. market.
Residential solar penetration is ~6% of U.S. homes, with storage at less than 1%; significant room for growth remains.
Storage attachment rate reached a record 73% in 1Q26, with over 251,000 battery systems installed.

Net Subscriber Value per addition increased 14% year-over-year to $11,892, driven by higher system values and ITC achievement.
Upfront Net Subscriber Value margin expanded to 9% in 1Q26, reflecting improved cost control and higher-value offerings.
Cash Generation for 2026 is projected at $250–$450 million, weighted toward the second half due to seasonality and project finance timing.
