How durable is the business?
Revenue contracted 18% YoY as customers shifted toward subscription models (leases/PPAs) to avoid high upfront costs driven by elevated interest rates. The segment's share of total revenue dropped to 19.6%. (1 contracting)
“Solar energy systems and product sales decrease by 31% compared to the prior year primarily due to an increase in the proportion of customers choosing to enter into a Customer Agreement versus purchasing a system outright using a loan, likely due to increased interest rates.”

What could break the thesis?
The risk is currently in a state of flux; while the CSLB adopted a rule requiring C-10 licenses for certain work, a preliminary injunction is currently preventing its enforcement. However, the underlying shortage of C-10 certified electricians remains a constraint on growth in the state. (3 stable, 1 easing)
“there is currently a preliminary injunction in the case and the CSLB is enjoined from taking any action to enforce or implement the regulation... If we are unable to hire, develop and retain sufficient certified electricians, our growth of solar and battery customers in California may be significantly constrained”
The risk remains high as originations in California continue to be below levels seen prior to the transition. Management notes that without increases in originations, new installations in their largest market (representing over 45% of customers) may continue to decline. (4 stable)
“Since implementation of NBT, originations in California have continued to be below levels prior to the transition for us and across the residential solar industry. Without further increases in originations, our new installations in California may continue to decline compared to prior periods”
