Business for sale local to me that does pretty much all residential generator installations. On the surface, numbers look pretty good. Asking 4X 2020 SDE but they are 'leaning in' pretty hard to a 'great 2021' with those projections. A massive backlog of installations on the books due to supplier constraints. I'm sure that is across the board.

Is this still a growth industry or are there headwinds ahead with regards to solar installations and whole house battery bank technologies that offer a 'greener' option for backup power for home owners?

You might talk to guys in the data center, commercial construction spaces, and micro-grids spaces. I believe a huge market will exist into the future for generators and that business is extendable through solar battery backup (which could be a unique angle). My knowledge in the space is limited, however, it's an area I like as well.
