Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

As previously disclosed, on January 30, 2025, Spruce Power Holding Corporation (the “Company”) notified Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) of its dismissal as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the date Deloitte completes its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The decision to change the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Board.

On March 31, 2025, Deloitte completed its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, the dismissal was effective March 31, 2025.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2025, there were: (1) no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would cause Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their report on the Company’s financial statements for such year, and (2) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for (A) the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as reported in Item 9A of Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2025, related to (i) maintaining an effective control environment based on the criteria established in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) Framework, (ii) maintaining effective control activities based on the criteria established in the COSO Framework, and (iii) revenue recognition, including the review of the contracts upon inception and/or acquisition and the accounting for revenue recognition under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and (B) the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as reported in Item 9A of Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 9, 2024, related to (i) maintaining an effective control environment based on the criteria established in the COSO Framework, (ii) maintaining effective control activities based on the criteria established in the COSO Framework, (iii) the review and approval of manual journal entries, including implementing appropriate segregation of duties, (iv) complex transactions, inclusive of accounting for business combinations and the Company’s investment related to the SEMTH master lease agreement and the related interest income, and (v) revenue recognition, including the review of the contracts upon inception and/or acquisition and the accounting for revenue recognition under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The audit reports of Deloitte on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Deloitte review such disclosures and provide a letter addressed to the SEC as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Deloitte’s letter dated April 3, 2025 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
