NABCEP-Certified Solar Installer | 15 Years | Central NY | SBA Ready
Business Description
This is an ideal acquisition for an experienced solar or electrical contractor, a strategic buyer in the home services or construction space, or an entrepreneurial operator ready to step into an established, cash-flowing business with a 15-year brand advantage that cannot be replicated.
NABCEP-certified residential and commercial solar installation company with 15 consecutive years of operation in Central New York. Founded in 2011, the business has grown entirely through referrals — with virtually zero advertising spend — into the dominant local installer in its county.
2025 was the company's best year on record: $1,410,055 in revenue, $362,899 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, and 49 completed projects — all-time highs across the board. The business entered 2026 with approximately $300,000 of committed project pipeline and strong spring momentum.
NABCEP PVIP-certified Operations Owner with 16+ years of solar-specific experience — the industry's gold standard credential.
Referral-driven model with a 20–25% average close rate and near-zero customer acquisition cost.
$179,300 in net equipment equity included in the asking price — all loans paid off (2023 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, 2024 John Deere 30P excavator, 2020 Massey Ferguson tractor, enclosed trailers, and full tool inventory)
300+ systems installed over 15 years, creating a growing service and maintenance revenue stream.
NYSERDA-authorized exclusive installer for the county's Solarize CNY campaign.
BBB A+ rated; active NYSDPS Distributed Energy Resource Supplier in good standing.
Clean balance sheet — zero debt, no real estate loans.
New York State policy tailwinds remain strong: 70% renewable electricity mandate by 2030, NYSERDA NY-Sun incentive program, 25% NYS solar tax credit (up to $5,000), and net metering all continue to drive residential demand. The commercial Federal ITC remains in place through 2027 — a timely growth lever for an incoming buyer, as commercial solar is currently underserved at 10–20% of revenue.
Seller financing available: The sellers will carry 10–15% of the purchase price as a seller note, making this SBA 7(a) financeable and materially expanding the qualified buyer pool.
Transition: 90-day training and handoff period; extended consulting available. Sunbase CRM currently being implemented and will transfer to the buyer at close.
NDA required for financials and location. Qualified buyers will receive a full Confidential Information Memorandum.
