Launching first in Southern California, residential solar owners will now have access to Sunnovas service-only protection warranty, regardless of who installed their system

November 27, 2018—Sunnova Energy Corporation, the leading privately-held U.S. residential solar and battery storage service provider, announced today the launch of its Sunnova Protect™ services. Sunnova Protect™, the nations first-ever, service-only offerings from a national solar company, provides solar owners the opportunity to purchase multi-decade coverage from Sunnova, inclusive of monitoring, maintenance and repair services for their solar systems.

Sunnovas nearly 60,000 customers already enjoy peace of mind with the companys best-in-class service warranty, and now with the launch of Sunnova Protect™ service plans, that service protection is available to any homeowner who owns their solar system. With various terms and coverage plans available, the Sunnova Protect™ plans take the hassle out of ownership. Coordinated by Sunnovas team of experts, the plans provide proactive monitoring and system diagnosis to prevent unexpected and costly solar outages and to provide protection against most out-of-pocket expenses for maintenance, equipment repairs and replacements. Backed by an available production guarantee, the Sunnova Protect plans provide consumers with the added confidence that their solar investment is creating the value they expect.

"Sunnova has extensive experience monitoring, maintaining and ensuring optimal system performance for our customers," said William J. (John) Berger, Chief Executive Officer of Sunnova Energy Corporation. "Now, were extending our expertise in solar system service to non-Sunnova solar homeowners so they too can protect their solar investment."

Berger added: "This is the first time that a residential solar and storage service provider has brought to market a truly unique service-only offering that provides solar owners with a 5-, 10- or 20-year warranty on systems the company itself did not install."

Sunnova has launched their Sunnova Protect™ Services through a newly-formed sales channel and is initially offering this service offering to Southern California—where there is a high concentration of solar owners. Sunnova will then extend Sunnova Protect™ to additional markets over the next few quarters. Sunnova will incorporate the Sunnova Protect™ service plans into their product offerings for their dealer networks in early 2019.

"Deciding to go solar is a big decision and yet we see solar customers buying and financing systems without a service warranty, which means no one will be there to ensure the system is actually working and generating the energy its supposed to over the decades-long life of the system," said Michael Grasso, Chief Marketing Officer for Sunnova Energy Corporation. "Were offering Sunnova Protect™ to ensure solar owners are covered so they can enjoy the energy independence and financial savings they expect from their systems."

The Sunnova Protect™ servicing plans offer three different coverage options (Basic, Premium and Platinum) with multiple term lengths (5-, 10- and 20-year). These plans provide solar owners with the freedom to choose the service solution that best fits their needs.
