Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of wholly-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Company’s 2023 annual report on Form 10-K on March 14, 2024, and the related notes which provide a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The information as of December 31, 2023, included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
In recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations, the Company uses estimates based on the best information available. Estimates are used for such items as the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with accounting for business combinations, the useful lives of the solar energy facilities, and inputs and assumptions used in the valuation of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”), contingent consideration, derivative instruments, and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Alignment Shares”).
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. Based on the financial information presented to and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate the resources and in assessing the performance of the Company, the Company has determined it operates as a single operating segment and has one reportable segment, which includes revenue under power purchase agreements (“PPAs”), revenue from net metering credit
agreements, solar renewable energy credit revenue, rental income, performance based incentives and other revenue. The Company’s principal operations, revenue and decision-making functions are located in the United States.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash balances on deposit with financial institutions and readily marketable securities with original maturity dates of three months or less at the time of acquisition and are denominated in U.S. dollars. Pursuant to the budgeting process, the Company maintains certain cash and cash equivalents on hand for possible equipment replacement related costs.

The Company records cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements as restricted cash. Restricted cash is included in current portion of restricted cash and restricted cash, noncurrent portion on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and includes cash held with financial institutions for cash collateralized letters of credit pursuant to various financing and construction agreements.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash consist of the following:

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash balances.
The Company had no customers that individually accounted for over 10% of total accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2024, and no customers that individually accounted for over 10% of total operating revenues, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company had no customers that individually accounted for over 10% of total accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2023. The Company had one customer that individually accounted for over 10% (i.e., 14.4%) of total operating revenues, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and one customer that individually accounted for over 10% (i.e., 14.7%), of total operating revenues, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Accounting Pronouncements
As a public company, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) either (1) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to public business entities, or (2) within the same time periods as non-public business entities, including early adoption when permissible. The Company expects to elect to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as non-public business entities, as indicated below.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update require disclosure of incremental segment information and the title and position of the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). Registrants will be required to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, as well as additional information on segment profit and loss measures and how such information is used by the CODM to assess segment performance and allocate resources. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning in January 2024 and interim periods beginning in January 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this ASU, but does not currently expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require enhanced income tax disclosures, particularly related to a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. For the rate reconciliation table, the update requires additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign taxes and details about significant reconciling items, subject to a quantitative threshold. Income taxes paid must be similarly disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign based on a quantitative threshold. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance shall be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company will apply the guidance upon the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
