SUNation Energy Achieves Platinum Status for Quality From New York State
SUNation Energy is one of five companies across New York State to earn the highest recognition by NYSERDA for their commitment to quality work.
MINNETONKA, Minn., June 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pineapple Energy Inc. (“Pineapple”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power to households and small businesses, is announcing that SUNation Energy, the company’s New York subsidiary, has been recognized by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) as a Platinum Status Quality Solar Installer.
The platinum designation can only be achieved by installers who were able to meet the authority’s strict quality assurance benchmarks on residential and commercial installations for six (6) consecutive years.
Due to the high threshold that was set by NYSERDA for companies to achieve platinum status, SUNation is only one (1) of five (5) companies across New York State to achieve this designation, as well as having the distinction of being the only solar installer within its Long Island service area to do so. Recent industry reports estimate that there are over 750 solar companies currently in operation within New York.
“I couldn’t be any prouder of the hardworking SUNation team,” Scott Maskin, Pineapple’s interim CEO said. “This latest recognition once again demonstrates our commitment to not only helping people go solar but doing so while adhering to the industry’s best practices.”
“We’ve worked tirelessly to ensure that every solar project that we install showcases our dedication to quality,” John Mucci, General Manager of SUNation’s New York Operations, added. “NYSERDA’s recognition of our team highlights why good work matters, regardless of job size or type.”
Officials from NYSERDA were onsite to formally recognize the SUNation team’s achievements.
