CHARLOTTE, N.C. – December 4, 2020 – Sunlight Financial, a leading technology-enabled, finance company providing point-of-sale financing solutions for residential solar and home improvements, today announced that it’s been named to the Charlotte Business Journal’s Fast 50 list of fastest-growing private companies in the Charlotte region. This is the second year in a row that Sunlight Financial has appeared on the list.
This comes on the heels of another major accomplishment for Sunlight Financial after recently being included as one of America’s fastest-growing private financial services companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list.
“Being recognized as one of the 50 fastest-growing companies in the Charlotte region for the second year in a row is a huge honor,” said Matt Potere, Sunlight Financial CEO. “At the core of Sunlight’s growth is a team committed to the company’s values with a focus on integrity in our dealings, innovation in our processes and a dedication to hard work. These awards are confirmation to us that together we are building something special.”
Since opening in Charlotte in 2015, Sunlight has experienced rapid expansion, facilitating over $3 billion in loans to help homeowners save money by going solar. This translates to more than $1 billion of loans facilitated since Sunlight received the award last year. The cornerstone of Sunlight’s strategy for growth is the company’s concentration on the needs of its business partners, the financing preferences of homeowners buying solar systems and the company’s connection to the communities in which it operates. Sunlight’s commitment to these principles have proved successful to date and the Company is excited for its future prospects.
The Charlotte Business Journal’s signature awards program ranks the Charlotte region’s fastest-growing private companies, based on a formula that reflects dollar and percentage growth in revenue during a three-year period.
A local accounting firm, CliftonLarsonAllen, worked with the Charlotte Business Journal to evaluate nominations and financial statements. Qualified companies are headquartered in the 16-county Charlotte region and had revenue of at least $1 million in 2019.
The 2020 Fast 50 final company rankings were revealed at the Fast 50 Virtual Awards reception which took place yesterday, December 3, 2020.
