Sunrun Solar

Sunrun Inc. is a leading American provider of residential solar energy systems and battery energy storage products, dedicated to creating a planet run by the sun. Founded in San Francisco, California, in 2007, the company’s mission centers on democratizing clean energy by making it affordable, resilient, and accessible to homeowners. As America’s largest provider of residential solar and battery storage, Sunrun designs, develops, installs, sells, owns, and maintains its systems. The publicly traded company (Nasdaq: RUN) serves over one million customers across 22 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

The company’s success is largely driven by its innovative “Solar-as-a-Service” model. This approach eliminates high upfront costs by offering no-upfront-cost subscription plans, such as solar leases and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), where customers pay for the energy produced on a monthly basis. This service package, backed by “The Sunrun Guarantee,” is comprehensive, including 24/7 system monitoring, maintenance, and repairs for the lifespan of the agreement. Beyond solar panels, Sunrun specializes in home battery storage solutions like Brightbox to provide backup power during outages and has strategic partnerships, such as with Ford for the F-150 Lightning, to build a resilient, distributed power system.
