| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Pineapple Energy’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included on Form 8-K/A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 19, 2022. The accompanying condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at December 31, 2021 contained in the above referenced Form 8-K/A. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. |
| Impact of the Merger |
Impact of the Merger
The Company accounted for the March 28, 2022 merger as a reverse recapitalization whereby it was determined that Pineapple Energy was the accounting acquirer and CSI was the accounting acquiree. This determination was primarily based on:
Former Pineapple Energy stockholders having the largest voting interest in the Company following the merger; The implied enterprise value of Pineapple Energy in the merger was well in excess of the market capitalization of CSI prior to the merger; At the Closing, the board of directors of the Company was fixed at seven members, two of which were selected by CSI and five of which were selected by Pineapple Energy; Pineapple Energy’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company subsequent to the merger; The post-combination company assumed the “Pineapple Energy” name; and The Company disposed of the pre-existing CSI headquarters during the second quarter of 2022 and expects to dispose of its legacy subsidiaries, JDL and Ecessa, and will continue Pineapple Energy operations in Hawaii.
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger was treated as the equivalent of Pineapple Energy issuing stock for the net assets of CSI, accompanied by a recapitalization.
While CSI was the legal acquirer in the merger, because Pineapple Energy was determined to be the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Pineapple Energy became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation of the merger. As a result, the financial statements included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect (i) the historical operating results of Pineapple Energy prior to the merger; (ii) the consolidated results of legacy CSI, Pineapple Energy, HEC, and E-Gear following the closing of the merger; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Pineapple Energy at their historical cost; (iv) the assets and liabilities of CSI, HEC and E-Gear at fair value as of the merger date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and (v) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.
In connection with the merger transaction, we have converted the equity structure for the periods prior to the merger to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Pineapple Energy’s members in connection with the recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares, corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share, as applicable, related to Pineapple Energy member units prior to the merger have been retroactively converted by applying the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement. |
| PIPE Transaction |
PIPE Transaction
On March 28, 2022, following the closing of the merger, the Company closed on a $32.0 million private investment in public entity (“PIPE”) transaction pursuant to a securities purchase agreement. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, for their $32.0 million investment, the PIPE Investors received shares of newly authorized CSI Series A convertible preferred stock convertible at a price of $13.60 per share into the Company’s common stock, together with five-year warrants to purchase an additional $32.0 million of common shares at that same price. The Company used the proceeds from the PIPE to fund the cash portion of the HEC Asset Acquisition, to repay $4.5 million ($5.6 million including interest) of Pineapple Energy’s $7.5 million term loan from Hercules Capital, Inc., to pay for transaction expenses, and for working capital to support Pineapple Energy’s growth strategy of acquiring leading local and regional solar installers around the United States.

| Principles of Consolidation |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. |
| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company uses estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from operations. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company’s estimates consist principally of reserves for doubtful accounts, asset impairment evaluations, accruals for compensation plans, lower of cost or market inventory adjustments, the fair value of the term loan payable and related assets at the date of acquisition, the fair value of the contingent value rights and contingent consideration, provisions for income taxes and deferred taxes, depreciable lives of fixed assets, and amortizable lives of intangible assets. |
| Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company may invest in short-term money market funds that are not considered to be bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the federal deposit insurance company (“FDIC”) or other government agency. These money market funds seek to preserve the value of the investment at $1.00 per share; however, it is possible to lose money investing in these funds. The restricted cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 are funds that can only be used to support the legacy CSI business, will be distributed to holders of the Company’s contingent value rights (“CVRs”) and cannot be used to support the working capital needs of the Pineapple Energy business. |
| Investments |
Investments
Investments consist of corporate notes and bonds and commercial paper that are traded on the open market and are classified as available-for-sale and minority investments in strategic technology companies. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from operations and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax. The investments on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 can only be used to support the legacy CSI business, will be distributed to CVR holders and cannot be used to support the working capital needs of the Pineapple Energy business. |
| Accounts Receivable, Net |
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value and are not collateralized. Accounts receivable include amounts earned less payments received and allowances for doubtful accounts. Management continually monitors and adjusts its allowances associated with the Company’s receivables to address any credit risks associated with the accounts receivable and periodically writes off receivables when collection is not considered probable. The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts. When uncertainty exists as to the collection of receivables, the Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts and a corresponding charge to bad debt expense. |
| Inventories, Net |
Inventories, Net
Inventories, which consist primarily of materials and supplies used in the installation of solar systems, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs computed on a weighted average cost basis. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess and obsolete items and adjusts carrying costs to estimated net realizable values when they are determined to be less than cost. |
| Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and additions or improvements are capitalized. Items of property sold, retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and any gains or losses on disposal are reflected in the statements of operations. |
| Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase prices (including liabilities assumed) of acquired businesses exceed the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets and separately identifiable intangible assets of these businesses. Definite lived intangible assets, consisting primarily of trade names, technology, and customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. The Company reassesses the value of our reporting units and related goodwill balances annually on October 1 and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. |
| Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets |
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, management identifies the asset group that includes the potentially impaired long-lived asset, at the lowest level at which there are separate, identifiable cash flows. If the fair value, determined as the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows for the asset group is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. |
| Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, is comprised of unrealized losses on debt securities. |
| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue Recognition
Within the Company’s Solar segment, revenue is recognized when there is a transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company sells solar power systems under construction and development agreements to residential and commercial customers. The completed system is sold as a single performance obligation. For residential contracts, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the systems are placed into service. Any advance payments received in the form of customer deposits are recorded as contract liabilities. Commercial contracts are generally completed within three to twelve months from commencement of construction. Construction on large projects may be completed within eighteen to twenty-four months, depending on the size and location of the project. Revenue from commercial contracts are recognized as work is performed based on the estimated ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at the completion of the performance obligation.
The Company also arranges for solar power systems to be installed for residential customers by a third party, for which it earns a commission upon the end customer’s acceptance of the installation. As there are more than two parties involved in the sales transaction, the Company has determined it has an agent relationship in the contracts with these customers, due to the fact that the Company is not primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the installation of solar arrays to the customer, the Company does not have inventory risk and has only limited discretion in pricing. Accordingly, the Company has determined that revenue under these arrangements should be recognized on a net basis.
Within the Company’s IT Solutions & Services segment, revenue is recognized over time for managed services and professional services (time and materials (“T&M”) and fixed price) performance obligations. This segment’s managed services performance obligation is a bundled solution, a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer and are recognized evenly over the term of the contract. T&M professional services arrangements are measured over time with an input method based on hours expended towards satisfying this performance obligation. Fixed price professional service arrangements under a relatively longer-term service will also be measured over time with an input method based on hours expended.
The Company has also identified the following performance obligations within its IT Solutions & Services segment that are recognized at a point in time, which include resale of third-party hardware and software, installation services, arranging for another party to transfer services to the customer, and certain professional services. The resale of third-party hardware and software is recognized at a point in time, when the goods are shipped or delivered to the customer’s location, in accordance with the agreed upon shipping terms. Installation services are recognized at a point in time when the services are completed. The service the Company provides to arrange for another party to transfer services to the customer is satisfied at a point in time as the Company has transferred control upon the service first being made available to the customer by the third-party vendor, which are required to be presented on a net basis. Depending on the nature of the service, certain professional services transfer control at a point in time. The Company evaluates these circumstances on a case-by-case basis to determine if revenue should be recognized over time or at a point in time. See Note 4, Revenue Recognition, for further discussion regarding revenue recognition. |
| Gross Excise Tax |
Gross Excise Tax
The State of Hawaii imposes a gross receipts tax on all business operations done in Hawaii. The Company records the tax revenue and expense on a gross basis. |
| Employee Retirement Benefits |
Employee Retirement Benefits
The Company has an Employee Savings Plan (401(k)) and matches a percentage of employee contributions up to six percent of compensation. |
| Share Based Compensation |
Share Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards on a fair value basis. The estimated grant date fair value of each stock-based award is recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The estimated fair value of each option is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. |
| Net Income (Loss) Per Share |
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income (loss) per common share adjusts for the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s only potential additional common shares outstanding are common shares that would result from the conversion of the Series A convertible preferred shares, stock options, warrants and shares associated with the long-term incentive compensation plans, which resulted in a dilutive effect of 2,352,936 shares and 0 shares for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022. Due to the net loss in the first three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no dilutive impact from outstanding preferred shares, options, warrants or unvested shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options, warrants and unvested shares using the treasury stock method and the dilutive effect of outstanding preferred shares using the if-converted method. There were no options or deferred stock awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because there were no outstanding options or deferred stock awards as of both June 30, 2022 and 2021. Warrants totaling 2,353,936 would have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common stock during the period and would have been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the net loss. For the three and six months ended June, 30, 2021, there were no potentially dilutive securities. |
| Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted |
Accounting Standards Issued
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This ASU is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses and is effective for annual periods and interim periods for those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, which for us is the first quarter ending March 31, 2023. Entities may early adopt beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The amendments in this update reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and amend the guidance for the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are a) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and b) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The reduction of accounting models is intended to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments, reduce complexity for preparers and practitioners, and improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information provided to financial statement users. The amendments to the derivative scope exception guidance a) removes the following conditions from the settlement guidance: settlement in unregistered shares, collateral, and shareholder rights; b) clarifies that penalty payments do not preclude equity classification within the settlement guidance in the situation where there is a failure to timely file; c) requires instruments that are required to be classified as an asset or liability under ASC 815-40-15-8A to be measured subsequently at fair value, with changes reported in earnings and disclosed in the financial statements; d) clarifies that the scope of the disclosure requirements in ASC 815-40-50 applies only to freestanding instruments, not embedded features; and e) clarifies that the scope of the reassessment guidance in ASC 815-40-35 on subsequent measurement applies to both freestanding instruments and embedded features. The amendment to this guidance is intended to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2022 and have incorporated this guidance in our evaluation of the accounting for our warrants, which are classified as equity in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" (“ASU 2021-08”). The standard requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as if it had originated the contracts. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU during the second quarter of 2022 and has incorporated this guidance in our evaluation of the accounting for the merger and the HEC Asset Acquisition. |
