ION Solar Secures Large Investment – Utah Business – Utah Business

Provo— ION Solar, LLC (“ION” or the “Company”), a leading provider of rooftop solar sales and installations, announced today an investment led by the investment team at Greenbelt Capital Partners (“Greenbelt”). Investors in the transaction included Trilantic Energy Partners II North America, Blackstone Credit, and Energy Impact Partners (“EIP”). The Greenbelt team, Blackstone Credit, and EIP have worked together in the energy transition sector previously. Matthew Rasmussen, David Rasmussen, and Jeremy Call, the founders of ION, will continue to own a majority equity stake in the business and will lead the Company through its next phase of growth.

Since its founding in 2013, ION has built a market-leading residential solar company with operations in eight states across the US (UT, NV, CO, NM, TX, NC, VA, OR). Headquartered in Provo, Utah, ION has installed over 200 MW across more than 30,000 households. ION has grown to be a top 10 residential rooftop solar contractor1 in the US by delivering customers a premium solar experience from sale through installation.

“We are incredibly proud of the business we have built alongside our extremely talented sales leadership and operations teams. By providing our customers with premium solar products and a white glove experience from sales through installation, we have been able to rapidly scale ION into the premier provider of residential solar,” said Matthew Rasmussen, CEO of ION.

Jeremy Call, President of Sales for ION, added, “The investment is not only a reflection of what ION has become but more importantly, speaks to the tremendous opportunity in the residential solar industry. We are very excited for our next chapter of growth.”

“The ION executive team has built an industry-leading platform through their relentless focus on customer service and by selectively expanding into high growth geographies. Their strategic go-to-market approach is unique within the industry and delivers exceptional value to their customers,” says Chris Murphy, partner at Greenbelt.

“The residential energy landscape is rapidly evolving as homeowners rethink patterns of consumption and the desire for energy independence,” says Zach Levenson, VP at Greenbelt. “We believe the ION team is uniquely positioned to capitalize on changing consumer preferences by driving the continued adoption of rooftop solar and introducing incremental products such as residential storage and EV chargers.”

The adoption of residential solar has been underpinned by secular tailwinds, including changing consumer preferences and the increasing affordability of solar energy. ION installations have delivered customers significant savings on their monthly energy bills while also reducing their carbon footprints and reliance on the grid. The US residential market is significant but remains underpenetrated with solar installed in only ~5 percent of viable homes.

“Blackstone Credit has significant experience in residential solar, providing us with insight into the cost and decarbonization benefits that ION provides to the market. We are excited to make a compelling investment in ION to help them expand into new geographies and product lines,” says Mark Rutledge, Managing Director in Sustainable Resources at Blackstone Credit.

“EIP is excited to grow our large portfolio of investments in distributed energy resources by partnering with ION. ION has built and scaled an impressive residential solar business that has generated incredible carbon reduction impact. EIP looks forward to working with ION to continue their growth and expand into additional products like storage and EV charging,” says Cassie Bowe, Partner at EIP.
