SUNation Solar Systems and Energy by Choice Announce Strategic Partnership

Another deciding factor was SUNation’s commitment to the Long Island community as exemplified by their assuming service responsibility for the customers of several national solar companies that abandoned the region in 2017.

Long Island-based SUNation Solar Systems, a provider of solar PV systems for residential and commercial customers throughout the Long Island and New York City regions, has taken over operations of Energy By Choice effective February 1, 2018. Terms were not disclosed.

A premium solar EPC contractor serving residential and commercial customers throughout Long Island since 2006, Northport, NY-based Energy by choice sought out the partnership with SUNation ensuring that their customer-base will receive the superior customer experience they deserve. Another deciding factor was SUNation’s commitment to the Long Island community as exemplified by their assuming service responsibility for the customers of several national solar companies that abandoned the region in 2017.

“Once again, the market is shifting, and local companies focused on outstanding customer experience and high-quality installations are outpacing the national companies who are exiting the Long Island region,” explained SUNation CEO Scott Maskin.

“In 2017 we hit the tipping point as purchase-to-own systems outpaced leases and PPAs. Brick & mortar companies like SUNation are routinely picking up the pieces as the nationals depart the region. Happily, the Long Island community is entrusting Long Island-based companies for an optimal solar experience.”

CEO of Energy By Choice Sail Van Nostrand explains his motivation for establishing this partnership. “As a boutique solar contractor, we have found it increasingly difficult to adapt to the changing solar landscape and find it more difficult than ever before to remain competitive and relevant. We are pleased to announce that we have taken steps to ensure our clients continue to receive the care, concern, quality and worry-free solar experience as they have in the past.”
