In July 2020, SinglePoint announced its intentions to prioritize and reallocate

designed to increase market share, revenues and most importantly build a future
business focused on revenue growth and profitability. The current advancements
in the technology related to solar PV and energy storage create a long-term
market opportunity for SinglePoint' s renewable energy and storage business, as
there is only approximately 4% current penetration of the addressable solar
market for both residential, small commercial and light industrial.

installer or developer based solar acquisitions focusing on installers with a
strong local brand and presence that are dedicated to a customer centric
approach, led by an experienced and dedicated team of professionals. We began
substantive discussions with Boston Solar in the first half of this year and
confirmed that its executive team meets our acquisition criteria and represent
a key strategic pillar within our solar strategy. The Boston Solar team has
delivered proven results, and we are excited to close this transaction and work
together to take advantage of the market opportunity that will benefit Boston
Solar, SinglePoint and all shareholders."
From the news:
Upon completion of the acquisition, the CEO and Co-Founder of Boston Solar,
Daniel Mello Guimaraes will join the SinglePoint team and spearhead the EPC
acquisition strategy. Mr. Mello Guimaraes will continue to oversee the
day-to-day operations of Boston Solar in addition to identifying accretive tuck
in acquisitions facilitated by SinglePoint that would benefit Boston Solar. In
addition, there are efficiencies and operational synergies within SinglePoint's
current solar assets, when combined with the demonstrated expertise of Mr.
Mello Guimaraes and the Boston Solar team, that should be accretive and enhance
overall margin as we grow revenue and strategically expand our renewable energy
and storage footprint.
"This
acquisition is a strategic fit for Boston Solar given the shared customer
centric approach and commitment to enabling and enhancing the growth
opportunities at Boston Solar. Over the past few months, the senior leadership
teams at Boston Solar and SinglePoint met to ensure alignment in approach,
mission and vision," added Mr. Mello Guimaraes. "Boston Solar has
been serving the New England market primarily in Massachusetts since its
inception in 2011, and we look forward to continuing to provide exceptional service
to our existing and future customers looking to implement solar, renewable
energy and energy storage solutions. Boston Solar is well-positioned for growth
over the next decade and I look forward continuing to lead the company as we
expand and increase our regional footprint and scale our commercial solar and
energy storage offerings."
From the news:
Over the past 10 years, Boston Solar has been providing premium residential and
commercial solar installations to the communities it serves. The company has
been able to achieve scalable, consistent growth, expecting to surpass $25
million in revenue in 2022.
"Over
100 million people in the United States alone would benefit by going solar.
Over the past six months, and throughout the due diligence process with the
Boston Solar executive team, it became obvious that we have a shared and
aligned passion for the renewable energy industry and a commitment of putting
the customer first, which is reflected in their customer reviews. This is the
first of many acquisitions to come in the space, with the near-term goal of
providing a best-in-class national solutions for customers looking for
renewable energy and storage solutions," stated Mr. Ralston.

continue to propel us towards our goal of becoming an industry leader and
