MARS Energy Group has acquired California-based Solar Savings Direct, doing business as Solar and Roof Direct, and Sequoia Roofing & Construction.
The company did not disclose the transaction value or the financial terms of the acquisitions.
MARS is a national energy infrastructure company providing integrated solar, storage, roofing, and electrification solutions for residential and commercial customers and developers. The two acquired companies serve California homeowners and production homebuilders across roofing, solar, and battery storage projects.
Solar Savings Direct and Sequoia Roofing & Construction, collectively referred to as SSD and SRC, provide roofing and solar services in California. MARS said the acquisitions will help to offer a more coordinated service model across both new construction and retrofit markets, including reroofing and residential solar installations.
Kyle Baker, CRO of SSD, added, “California requires partners who can execute consistently across individual homeowner projects. The retrofit market is crowded, and many companies have struggled to scale in this environment while SSD & SRC have been able to maintain quality and reliability. With MARS, we are even better equipped to expand our retrofit capabilities and meet rising demand with the infrastructure, resources, and operational support needed to scale efficiently.”
SSD and SRC will continue to operate under their existing leadership during the transition. Jeremy Read, Jessica Gluck, Kyle Baker, Gabriel Munoz, and Robert Williams will remain in key roles, according to the company. The businesses will retain their current branding in the near term. MARS said the brands are expected to transition to MARS Home Solutions in the future.
The company said the acquisitions support its focus on execution, safety, and long-term value creation in California’s residential energy and housing markets.
It also noted that the acquisitions deepen its California footprint and expand its presence in Northern California, in addition to its existing Southern California market presence.
The acquisitions also mark the company’s ninth and tenth acquisitions to date.
According to Mercom’s recently released Q1 2026 Solar Funding and M&A report, Corporate M&A activity in the solar sector was 47% higher YoY in the first quarter of 2026, with 28 corporate M&A transactions compared to 19 in Q1 2025.
In April 2026, Mortenson, a provider of energy and infrastructure solutions, announced the acquisition of Nor-Cal Controls, a controls systems provider specializing in energy management control systems for solar, battery energy storage, and microgrid applications.
