Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
The acquired business provides solar operations and maintenance services to a range of owners, equipment manufacturers, financiers and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors.
The transaction adds over 1,000 sites to MaxGen’s existing portfolio of 3,000 managed sites.
MaxGen develops, maintains, and operates infrastructure that supports alternative energy technologies.
The company also has experience in the development, design, installation, and maintenance of electric vehicle service equipment and battery energy storage systems.
MaxGen CEO Mark McLanahan said: “Our customers have large, complex and geographically distributed portfolios that require a sophisticated operator to meet their needs. With this acquisition, MaxGen is establishing a new national standard for care, quality, and control of distributed energy assets.”
"U.S. energy infrastructure is rapidly transforming with the growth of solar, battery energy storage, and EV charging networks. MaxGen is well-positioned to service all of these asset classes with our professional, cross-trained team of operations and field service specialists."
Next Phase Solar general manager Simon Wilson said: “Together with MaxGen we extend our expertise and nationwide presence to our existing and future clients. MaxGen is solely focused on O&M, which is a great fit for our Next Phase team.
“We have a vision that solar will become a permanent and lasting part of the energy landscape, and believe that will only be possible if these systems are performing optimally and supported by a mature service infrastructure. We are excited to be on the front lines of achieving that goal.”
Earlier this year, Solarrus, an independent service provider in the US solar, electric vehicle and battery energy storage industries, consolidated its brands under the MaxGen Energy Services name.
