Unaudited Gross Revenues for Direct Solar of America in July 2020 were $525,492.63 on an accrual basis. The accrual based July 2020 Revenues represent an increase over the same monthly period from the prior year and signify that the solar business is beginning to return to the expected and anticipated growth rate prior to the disruption caused by the pandemic. The overall year to date increase in revenue was impacted by a slowdown in business largely related to the restrictions and operational turmoil caused by the global pandemic. The disruptions caused by the pandemic were contributing factors that limited the revenue growth in the 2nd Quarter with reported revenue of $395,277 for the three months ended June 2020.
