Key Financial and Operational Metrics

Cumulative megawatts installed increased from 362 MW as of December 31, 2021, to 369 MW as of June 30, 2022.

Megawatt hours ("MWh") generated represents the output of solar energy systems from operating solar energy systems. MWh generated relative to nameplate capacity can vary depending on multiple factors such as design, equipment, location, weather and overall system performance.

Megawatt hours generated increased from 109,000 MWh for the three months ended June 30, 2021, to 137,000 MWh for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Megawatt hours generated increased from 172,000 MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to 223,000 MWh for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
