- Customer Agreements and Incentives. The $204.8 million increase in Revenue from Customer Agreements was primarily due to new systems placed in service in 2023 and a full year of revenue recognized in 2023 for systems placed in service in 2022 versus only a partial amount of such revenue related to the period in which the assets were in service in 2022. Revenue from incentives, which primarily consisted of the sale of SRECs, decreased by $1.1 million when compared to the prior year related to the timing and volume of SREC sales which were responsive to market conditions.
- Solar Energy Systems and Product Sales. Revenue from solar energy systems sales decreased by $257.5 million 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. Product sales decreased by $7.8 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the lower average sales price of solar energy products, as well as lower sales volume of solar energy products to installers of solar energy systems compared to the prior year, due to easing of supply chain constraints.
- Cost of Customer Agreements and Incentives. The $233.0 million increase in Cost of customer agreements and incentives was primarily due to the new systems placed in service in 2023, plus a full year of costs recognized in 2023 for systems placed in service in 2022 versus only a partial amount of such expenses related to the period in which the assets were in service in 2022.
