Sunnova CEO John Berger, said:
“Our focus on profitability, cash flow and measured, sustainable growth sets us apart in the solar industry. We are committed to growing responsibly and our investors and lenders appreciate that.”
“Goldman Sachs’ financing will allow us to continue to execute on our strategy of bringing consumers a cost-effective, clean choice for their electricity,”
The $175 million debt financing marks the first transaction between Sunnova and Goldman Sachs.
