Forward guidance
Management now expects Solar Energy Capacity Installed growth to be 30% for the full-year 2021, pro-forma for Vivint Solar, an increase from the prior guidance range of 25% to 30% growth. Total Value Generated is now expected to be in a range of $700-750 million for the full-year 2021, which has been adjusted primarily because of the effects of accelerating growth and timing of cost recognition. Management continues to expect cost synergies derived from the acquisition of Vivint Solar to be approximately $120 million in run-rate synergies by the end of 2021.

Headwinds
- effects of accelerating growth and timing of cost recognition
- dynamic supply chain environment
- Severe weather caused by climate change continues to uncover vulnerabilities with the electric grid’s aging infrastructure, leaving millions of people without power.
- Permitting and interconnection delays can stall residential solar projects by 3 to 6 months and add thousands of dollars of costs to each project.
- Net Subscriber Margin was lower than in prior periods given our accelerating sales activities and the upfront timing of cost recognition, as many costs are incurred ahead of installation volume recognition.
