Sunnova systems remained intact for approximately 19,000 customers in Florida during Hurricane Milton, and more than 13,000 customers across the U.S. Southeast during Hurricane Helene when power infrastructure was crippled and unable to deliver electricity to residents. In total, Sunnova systems for more than 100,000 customers in hurricane-affected areas, including Puerto Rico and Texas, this season have experienced no material damage.

Similarly, Sunnova solar + storage customers benefitted from battery power for an average of 26 hours in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the following seven days following the storm while millions of people were without power.

(John) Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer at Sunnova. “We understand the importance of having power when you need it most.
