By Jamie Haenggi, ADT Chief Customer Officer
More consumers than ever share a concern for rising energy prices, the resiliency of our power grid and green living to care for our planet. Yet only 3 percent of U.S. homes have solar. ADT wants to change that, and today marks a major step in providing customers with protected, connected, and now powered homes.
ADT, the most trusted brand in smart home and small business security, announced an agreement to acquire Sunpro Solar, ranked #2 among the top residential solar rooftop installers in the U.S. by Solar Power World in 2021.
Energy plays a central role in our lives, especially at home. From our 6 million customers, we’ve heard the desire to have a solar offering from a company with longevity and high trust, two hallmarks of ADT. Combining Sunpro’s customer-obsessed sales and installations teams with ADT’s brand and nationwide infrastructure, we believe we can enable more Americans to enjoy the cost savings, peace of mind and green living benefits solar has to offer.
A Win-Win for ADT Customers:
- This combination creates a single brand option for customers to enjoy a full suite of products and services to design their protected, connected and powered home.
- As a part of the ADT family, Sunpro, which will be rebranded ADT SolarTM, will accelerate our ability to bring residential and commercial rooftop solar to more customers, helping them save money and also become more energy independent.
- ADT Solar will offer consumers even more peace of mind by giving them the opportunity to power their homes with sustainable and affordable solar energy at a time when climate concerns and weather patterns weigh on people’s minds.
We look forward to offering our customers solutions for their safe, smart, and sustainable home. Visit www.adt.com/solar to learn more.
