Anyone have experience with residential generator sales and installations?

by a searcher

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?

Link, did you ever end up acquiring this business? I’d love to pick your brain if so!

Besides for being interested in the space, I don't have too much to add. That was a subsidiary of a company I worked for and I no longer work there.
