Pineapple Energy Subsidiary SUNation Is Named Top New York-Based Solar and Storage Installer
RONKONKOMA, N.Y., July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SUNation, the New York-based subsidiary of Pineapple Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: PEGY) (“Pineapple” or the “Company”), has been designated the number one solar + storage New York-based installer by Solar Power World, a leading industry publication.
In 2023, SUNation had installed five (5) times the amount of battery storage capacity compared to its local industry peers. Each year, Solar Power World recognizes industry leaders with their Top Solar Contractors List.
“Once again, SUNation is doing its part to help New York State achieve its ambitious goals to reduce our energy-related carbon footprint. I couldn’t be prouder of my hardworking team who show up each day to make our future greener,” Scott Maskin, Interim CEO of Pineapple Energy, said.
“Ensuring that battery storage is a part of our residential installations is a top priority,” John Mucci, SUNation’s General Manager of New York Operations, added. “With time-of-use rates slowly being rolled out, we want to have our trusted clients ready for whatever comes their way.”
“Solar projects in every market — residential to utility-scale — are getting bigger and oftentimes more complicated in scope, financing and permitting. That’s why it’s all the more impressive when so many top installation companies have banner years,” said Kelly Pickerel, editor in chief of Solar Power World. “The Top Solar Contractors List is a great gauge for how strong individual companies are in their local markets.”
So far in 2024, SUNation’s battery installations have been trending upward from the previous year’s high, Mucci noted. “Batteries have become an increasingly important piece of the renewable landscape,” he said.
